• Kinematics: motion in terms of space and time (position, x; velocity, v; acceleration, a).• We’ll mainly deal with constant acceleration. • Derivatives: • In this chapter we will only look at motion in one dimension.

Position, Displacement and distance traveled

Don’t confuse displacement with the distance traveled. Example: What is the displacement and the total distance traveled of a baseball player hitting a homerun?

Displacement of a particle:

Its change in position: if xxx xf final position

xi: initial position

Displacement is a vector: It has both, magnitude and direction!!

Total distance traveled is a scalar: It has just a magnitude

Position: Location of particle with respect to some reference point.

Page 5: Announcements:

Velocity and speed

Average Velocity of a particle:

txvx

x: displacement of particle

t: total time during which displacement occurred.

Velocity is a vector: It has both, magnitude and direction!!

Speed is a scalar: It has just a magnitude

Average speed of a particle:

timetotaldistance total speed average

The position of a car is measured every ten seconds relative to zero.

A) 30 m

B) 52 m

C) 38 m

D) 0 m

E) - 37 m

F) -53 m

Find the displacement, average velocity and average speed between positions A and F.

Instantaneous velocity is the derivative of x with respect to t, dx/dt!

Velocity is the slope of a position-time graph!

The (instantaneous) speed (scalar) is defined as the magnitude of its (instantaneous) velocity (vector)

(a) Determine the displacement of the particle in the time intervals t=0 to t=1s and t=1s to t=3s.

(b) Calculate the average velocity during these two time interval.

(c) Find the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 2.5s.

(d) i-clicker: What is the instantaneous velocity at 1s (graph)?

A.) 0 m/s B.) 0.5 m/s C.) 1 m/s D.) indeterminate

AccelerationWhen the velocity of a particle (say a car) is changing, it is accelerating (can be positive or negative).

The average acceleration of the particle is defined as the change in velocity vx divided by the time interval t during which that change occurred.

The instantaneous acceleration equals

the derivative of the velocity with respect to time (slope of velocity vs. time graph).

Because vx = dx/dt, the acceleration

Derivations: Book pp. 32-34 These four kinematic equations can be used to solve any problem involving one-dimensional motion at constant acceleration.

Black board example 2.4

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of – 5.60 m/s2 for 4.2s, making skid marks 62.4 m long ending at the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?

Freely falling objectsIn the absence of air resistance, all objects fall towards the earth with the same constant acceleration (a = -g = -9.8 m/s2), due to gravity.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)(from Wipipedia)

i-clicker:

You throw a ball straight up in the air. At the highest point, what are the velocity and the acceleration of the ball

A.) a=0; v=0

B.) a=-9.8m/s2 v≠0

C.) a=-9.8m/s2 v=0

Black board example 2.5

A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. The building is 50 m high. Using tA = 0 as the time the stone leaves the throwers hand at position A, determine:

(a) The time at which the stone reaches its maximum height.

(b) The maximum height.

(c) The time at which the stone returns to the position from which it was thrown.

(d) The velocity of the stone at this instant

(e) The velocity and and position of the stone at t = 5.00 s.

(f) Plot y vs. t; v vs. t and a vs. t

Review: • Position x, velocity v, acceleration a• Acceleration is derivative of v and 2nd derivative of x: a = dv/dt =

d2x/dt2, and v = dx/dt. • Know x, v, a graphs. v is slope of x-graph, a is slope of v graph. • Kinematic equations on page 36-38 (constant acceleration).

Know how to use!• Free fall (constant acceleration)
