  1. Accelerated Displacement and Free Fall

  2. Displacement • Displacement is a calculation of how far something has been in motion:

  3. Displacement Formulas If Vi is zero, it cancels and you can solve for time:

  4. Quiz Go to the Socrative app, and sign in. Room 14415. Make sure you put in your name correctly, or you risk getting NO POINTS! I’m taking this as a daily grade, so try to get the questions correct! If you don’t have an iPad or it doesn’t work, get a piece of paper and write the answers (show your work) for credit. This is not self-paced. Wait for me.

  5. Quiz Cory is approaching a stoplight moving with an initial velocity of 30.0 m/s. The light turns yellow, and Cory applies the brakes for 4 seconds and skids to a stop. If Cory’s acceleration is -8.00 m/s2, then solve for the displacement of the car during the skidding process.

  6. Pondering the Apple • Isaac Newton • Observed an apple fall from a tree. • Wondered about gravitation and its effect on the universe.

  7. Gravity • The force of attraction between any two objects… • Gravity is dependant on the mass of the objects. • More mass = stronger attraction. • On earth, all things are attracted, or accelerate, to the center of the earth (because it is the biggest mass!).

  8. Free Fall • Because of gravity, when objects fall, they accelerate. (Free-Fall Acceleration!!!) • What FORCES act on any falling object? • Gravity • Air resistance • Air resistance effects almost all free fall situations on earth, but we will ignore air resistance when we talk about falling objects. • Objects in true free-fall are only affected by gravity.

  9. Free Fall • In a true freefall, since we ignore air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration.

  10. When something falls… How Fast? If a rock in freefall had a speedometer…

  11. When something falls… How Far?

  12. When something falls… …it accelerates. How fast does it accelerate? 9.8 m/s2 or m/s/s vf-vi a = t

  13. When something falls… How Fast? How Far? 1 v = at at2 d = 2

  14. Free Fall from Vi=0 • The student dropped the rock from Vi = 0. Ticker Tape…

  15. Free Fall from Vi=0 • What are the distances of the rock at t=1 through t=5? • What is the distance the rock fell after 15 seconds? • 1102.5 m

  16. Free Fall from Vi=0 • What are the velocities of the rock at t=1 through t=5? • v = at or v = gt • What is the velocity of the falling rock after 15 seconds? • 147 m/s

  17. Free Fall from Vi≠0 • Instead of: • Use:

  18. Freefall Practice Problems • Looking down over the edge of the empire state building, your sunglasses fall off. Ignoring air resistance, what is their velocity after 9.4 seconds (right before they hit the ground)?

  19. Freefall Practice Problems • If you sunglasses fall for 9.4 seconds before they hit the sidewalk below. What distance did they fall?

  20. Freefall Practice Problems • What is the acceleration of gravity on the moon if a freely falling object has a velocity of 21.5 m/s and falls for 13.4 seconds?

  21. Freefall Practice Problems You make a wish and toss a quarter into a very deep wishing well. Ignoring air resistance, it took 6.4 seconds to hit the bottom. • What distance did the coin fall? • What was the coin’s velocity?

  22. Now, for some practice…
