Linear Motion

You can describe the
motion of an object by
its position, speed,
direction, and
acceleration.
![Page 3: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
I. Motion Is Relative (2.1)
A. Everything moves. Even things that appear
to be at rest move.
1. Motion is described by motion
relative to something else.
a. Relative to the sun, the
center of the galaxy, etc.
b. We will discus motion
(things in our environment)
relative to the surface of the
Earth.

II. Speed (4.2)
A. Speed is measure of how fast something is
moving (rate at which distance is covered)
1. Rate– term used to describe
something divided by time.
2. Speed = Units of distance / units of
time (distance covered per unit of time)

3. Common Units
a. miles/hour (mi/h)
b. kilometers/hour (km/h)
c. meters/second (m/s) Used in physics

•Continental drift: 2 mm/year (1mm = one
millimeter = 10-3 meters)
•Walking speed: 3 miles/hour = 4.4 feet/second =
1.3 m/s (1m = 1 meter, s = seconds)
•Driving speed: 60 miles/hr = 100 km/hr = 88 ft/s =
26 m/s
•Orbital speed (near Earth orbit) = 8 km/s = 17,000
miles/hr
•Earth's speed around the sun = 30 km/s
•Speed of light = 300,000 km/s = 186,000 miles/s.

B. Instantaneous Speed– the speed at any instant
(What you see on a car’s speedometer)
![Page 9: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
C. Average Speed– total distance covered/time
interval
1. Does not indicate variations in speed over
time.
2. still describes rate at which distance
traveled

D. Velocity (4.3)
1. Velocity and speed are often used
interchangeably, but in physics are different.
a. Velocity is speed in a given direction.
b. Speed is how fast object moves
(direction does not matter)
![Page 15: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
E. Constant Velocity– must have constant speed
and direction
1. Object moves in straight line
2. Object’s path does not curve
![Page 16: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
F. Changing Velocity
1. Velocity will change if either speed or
direction changes.
2. Constant speed and constant velocity are
not the same.
![Page 17: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
think!
The speedometer of a car moving northward reads 60 km/h.
It passes another car that travels southward at 60 km/h. Do
both cars have the same speed? Do they have the same
velocity?
4.3 Velocity
![Page 18: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
think!
The speedometer of a car moving northward reads 60 km/h.
It passes another car that travels southward at 60 km/h. Do
both cars have the same speed? Do they have the same
velocity?
Answer: Both cars have the same speed, but they have
opposite velocities because they are moving in opposite
directions.

III. Acceleration (4.4)
A. acceleration is the rate at which the
velocity is changing
1. applies to increases as
well as decreases in velocity.
2. decrease in velocity often
called deceleration or
negative acceleration

B. Acceleration applies to changes in direction as
well as speed
1. When motion is in straight line the term
speed and velocity are often used
interchangeably.
![Page 22: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

think!
Suppose a car moving in a straight line steadily increases
its speed each second, first from 35 to 40 km/h, then from
40 to 45 km/h, then from 45 to 50 km/h. What is its
acceleration?
4.4 Acceleration
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Suppose a car moving in a straight line steadily increases
its speed each second, first from 35 to 40 km/h, then from
40 to 45 km/h, then from 45 to 50 km/h. What is its
acceleration?
Answer: The speed increases by 5 km/h during each 1-s
interval in a straight line. The acceleration is therefore
5 km/h•s during each interval.
4.4 Acceleration
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
think!
In 5 seconds a car moving in a straight line increases its
speed from 50 km/h to 65 km/h, while a truck goes from rest
to 15 km/h in a straight line. Which undergoes greater
acceleration? What is the acceleration of each vehicle?
4.4 Acceleration
![Page 30: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

speed from 50 km/h to 65 km/h, while a truck goes from rest
to 15 km/h in a straight line. Which undergoes greater
acceleration? What is the acceleration of each vehicle?
Answer: The car and truck both increase their speed by
15 km/h during the same time interval, so their acceleration
is the same.

IV. Free Fall: How Fast (4.5)
A. The force of Gravity causes object to
accelerate downward
1. If we disregard air resistance
(air friction) then free falling
objects only affected by gravity.
Called free fall
2. Use letter (g) to represent
gravity
3. gravity varies slightly around the
Earth. Average value is about
10 m/s2
4. More accurately, g is 9.8 m/s2
![Page 32: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
B. The instantaneous speed of an object falling from
rest is equal to the acceleration multiplied by the
amount of time it falls.
Instantaneous speed = acceleration x elapsed time
(v symbolizes both speed and velocity)

1. speed decreases at the same rate with an object
moving upwards as it increases when moving
downward
2. An object thrown upward will reach a velocity of
zero when it gets to its highest point

VI. Graphs of Motion
A. Equations and tables not the only way to
describe relationships such as velocity and
acceleration.
1. Linear relationship- e.g. speed and
time
a. Forms straight line curve.
b. Has constant slope (direct
proportion)
![Page 41: Chapter 4 Linear Motion - WHS Physics](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012703/61a570815998e559340b8bc4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Parabolic relationship– e.g. distance versus
time
a. Not straight line. Curved line
b. Tangent at any point gives slope at that
point (slope of this curve is instantaneous
speed. Remember that slope is rise/run or
change in y over change in x.
Distance/time = speed
