Distance & Time • Distance is a measurement of how far apart two points are. • The unit for distance is the metre (m), or kilometre (km). • Displacement is a measurement of how far an object has moved from its starting point. • The equation is: displacement = final – initial distance distance • Time is a measurement of the duration of an event. • The unit for time is the second (s), or hour (h).
D/t graph. Distance (m) Time (s)
Speed & Velocity • An object has speed when it travels a distance in a time interval. • At any moment in time, a moving object has instantaneous speed. Since this is difficult to calculate, we usually use average speed. • Since velocity is speed in a given direction,the equation for average velocity is: final distance – initial distance velocity = final time – initial time ∆d vav= ∆t • The unit for speed or velocity is metres per second (ms-1) or kilometres per hour (kmh-1). • Pg 8
Distance/time Graphs • Time always goes along the horizontal (x) axis • Distance always goes up the vertical (y) axis • A flat line (slope = 0) meansthe object is stationary • A slope means the object ismoving. The slope gives thespeed of the objectA straight line indicatesa constant speed. • A curved line means theobject is accelerating(speeding up or slowingdown) • Pg11 d t d t d t
What are these objects doing? d d d d t t t t
Speed/time Graphs • Time always goes along the horizontal (x) axis • Speed or velocity always goes up the vertical (y) axis • A flat line (slope = 0) meansthe object is travelling at a constant speed(no acceleration) • A slope means the object isaccelerating. The slope givesthe acceleration of the object • A curved line means therate of acceleration is increasing or decreasing • Pg14 v t v t v t
2cm 3cm 4cm Each is 0.1s 2/0.1 = 20ms-1 3/0.1 = 30ms-1 4/0.1 = 40ms-1
Area under graphs • The area under a velocity/time graph can be used to calculate the total displacement of an object • For a simple straight line, simple calculate the area of the rectangle or triangle under the line • For more complex shapes, split them into rectangles and triangles and add together the areas for each shape to calculate the total displacementeg. total displacement = ½ base x height v t
Area under the graph- 1 shape V ½ base x height t
Area under the graph- 2 shapes V ½ base x height Then add them together Base x height t
Acceleration • An object changing itsspeed is said to be accelerating. If the acceleration is: • positive (eg. 2ms-2) = object speeding up • negative (eg. -2ms-2) = object slowing down • The equation is: final speed – initial speed acceleration = time taken ∆v a = ∆t • The unit for acceleration is metres per second squared (or ms-2). • Pg 9
Deceleration • So deceleration is simple an object slowing down. • The same formula is used, but the result will be a negative number. • Pg 13, 14
Forces • A force is a push, pull, or twist. • Forces can change the: • speed • direction, and/or the • shape of an object. • The unit for force is the Newton (N) • When a force acts on an object (the action force), an opposing force appears as a reaction force (eg. gravity or friction). eg. driving force friction force (from engine) (from road/air) Pg 16
Thrust. • The force that moves objects in the direction of the force. • The greater the thrust, the faster the movement. Thrust
Friction • Friction is a force that opposes motion. • Friction always works in the opposite direction to thrust. • Friction between an object and air or water is called drag. Friction Pg 17
Friction • Friction is a force that opposes motion. • It is created when objects rub against each other, releasing energy as heat. • Friction between an object and air or water is called drag. • Friction can be: • useful – eg. brakes, tyres • undesirable – eg. engine wear • Friction can be reduced by using: • lubricants • bearings Pg 17
Support • The force that pushes upwards, so objects do not fall to the centre of the Earth. Support
Gravity • The force that pulls objects toward the centre of the Earth. • It is a constant force at 10ms-2. Gravity
Balanced Forces • When the action and reaction forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, they are balanced. • If the forces on an object are balanced it will either remain stationary, or continue moving at a constant speed. • eg. 450N 450N Net force = 0N Pg 18
Unbalanced forces. • When the action and reaction forces are different in size or direction, they are unbalanced. • If the forces on an object are unbalanced it will accelerate in the direction of the resultant or net force. 500N 450N Net force = 50N
Force, Mass & Acceleration • When an unbalanced force acts on an object, it accelerates in the direction of the net force. • The equation is: force = mass x acceleration Fnet = ma • The same equation also applies to the effect of gravity on mass (ie. weight). weight force = mass x acceleration due to gravity Fw= mg = m x10N (if mass is in kg) • The unit for weight force is the Newton (N). Pg 19
Gravity, Mass & Weight 600N 100N • Since weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass, weight can change depending on the force of gravity • On Earth, a person with mass 60kg would weigh 600N • On the moon, a person with the same mass would only weigh 100N • F=mg
Force and lifting. • Force is needed to lift an object. • This force equals the weight of the object. • The formula is; Force = mass x gravitational acceleration F = mg • E.g. A mass of 5kg is lifted 2m off the ground F = 5 x 10 F = 50 N • Work is also done to lift the object W = F x d W = 50 x 2 W = 100J 5kg
Forces and the shot-puts. Experiment 1; lifting the shot-put (F=mg) Experiment 2; work and the shot-put (W=Fd) Experiment 3; dropping the shot-put (F=ma) We also need to measure the area of the impact craters.
Force and pressure • Pressure is created when a force is applied to an area. • The formula is; Pressure = force / area P = F A • The greater the force and the smaller the area, the greater the pressure. 10N P = 10/8 P=1.25Nm-2 P= 10/2 P= 5Nm-2 8cm 2 2 cm2 Pg 20
