Displacement
• Displacement the distance moved in a stated direction (the distance and direction from the starting point). A VECTOR
Displacement/time graphs
• Usually in 1 dimension (+ = forward and - = backwards)
Displacement/m
Time/s
Velocity?
• Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Also a VECTOR
Velocity/time graphs
• Usually in 1 dimension (+ = forward and - = backwards)
velocity/m.s-1
Time/s
Ball being thrown into the air, gradient = constant = -9.81 m.s-2
Acceleration?
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Also a VECTOR
Acceleration/time graphs
• Usually in 1 dimension (+ = up and - = down)
accel/m.s-2
Time/s
Acceleration = constant = -9.81 m.s-2
Average speed/velocity?
• Average speed/velocity is change in distance/displacement divided by time taken over a period of time.
Instantaneous speed/velocity?
• Instantaneous speed/velocity is the change in distance/displacement divided by time at one particular time.
The equations of motion
• The equations of motion can be used when an object is accelerating at a steady rate
• There are four equations relating five quantities
u initial velocity, v final velocity,
s displacement, a acceleration, t time
SUVAT equations
The four equations1 This is a re-arrangement of
2 This says displacement = average velocity x time
3 With zero acceleration, this becomes displacement = velocity

Beware!
• All quantities are vectors (except time!). These equations are normally done in one dimension, so a negative result means displacement/velocity/acceleration in the opposite direction.

Imagine a dog being thrown out of an aeroplane.
Woof! (help!)
Force of gravity means the dog accelerates
gravityTo start, the dog is falling slowly (it has not had time to speed up).
There is really only one force acting on the dog, the force of gravity.
The dog falls faster (accelerates) due to this force.
Gravity is still bigger than air resistance
gravity
As the dog falls faster, another force becomes bigger – air resistance.
The force of gravity on the dog of course stays the same
The force of gravity is still bigger than the air resistance, so the dog continues to accelerate (get faster)
Air resistance
Gravity = air resistanceTerminal velocity
gravity
As the dog falls faster and air resistance increases, eventually the air resistance becomes as big as (equal to) the force of gravity.
The dog stops getting faster (accelerating) and falls at constant velocity.
This velocity is called the terminal velocity.
Air resistance
Falling without air resistance

This time there is only one force acting in the ball - gravity

What is gravity?
Gravity
Gravity is a force between ALL objects!
Gravity
Gravity
The size of the force depends on the mass of the objects. The bigger they are, the bigger the force!
Small attractive force
Bigger attractive force
Gravity
The size of the force also depends on the distance between the objects.
Gravity
We only really notice the gravitational attraction to big objects!
Hola! ¿Como estas?
Gravity
The force of gravity on something is called its weight. Because it is a force it is measured in Newtons.
Weight
Gravity
On the earth, Mr George’s weight is around 800 N.
800 N
I love physics!
Gravity
On the moon, his weight is around 130 N.
Why?
130 N
Gravity
In deep space, far away from any planets or stars his weight is almost zero. (He is weightless). Why?
Cool!
Mass
Mass is a measure of the amount of material an object is made of and also its resistance to motion (inertia). It is measured in kilograms.
Mass
Mr George has a mass of around 77 kg. This means he is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kg
Mass
On the moon, Mr George hasn’t changed (he’s still Mr George!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kg
Gravity
In deep space, Mr George still hasn’t changed (he’s still Mr George!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo!
77kgI feel sick!
Calculating weight
To calculate the weight of an object you multiply the object’s mass by the gravitational field strength wherever you are.
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Newton’s 1st Law
An object continues in uniform motion in a straight line or at rest unless a resultant external force acts
Newton’s first law
Galileo imagined a marble rolling in a very smooth (i.e. no friction) bowl.
Newton’s first lawIf you let go of the ball, it always rolls up the opposite side until it reaches its original height (this actually comes from the conservation of energy).
Newton’s first lawNo matter how long the bowl, this always happens.
constant velocity
Newton’s first lawGalileo imagined an infinitely long bowl where the ball never reaches the other side!
Newton’s first lawThe ball travels with constant velocity until its reaches the other side (which it never does!).
Galileo realised that this was the natural state of objects when no (resultant ) forces act.
constant velocity
Another example
Imagine Mr George cycling at constant velocity.
Newton’s 1st law
He is providing a pushing force.
Constant velocity
Newton’s 1st law
There is an equal and opposite friction force.
Constant velocity
Pushing force
friction
Newton’s second law
Newton’s second law concerns examples where there is a resultant force.
Let’s go back to Mr George on his bike.
Remember when the forces are balanced (no resultant force) he travels at constant velocity.
Constant velocity
Pushing force
friction
Newton’s 2nd law
Now lets imagine what happens if he pedals faster.
Pushing force
friction
Newton’s 2nd law
His velocity changes (goes faster). He accelerates!
Pushing force
friction
acceleration
Remember from last year that acceleration is rate of change of velocity. In other words
acceleration = (change in velocity)/time
Newton’s 2nd law
Now imagine what happens if he stops pedalling.
friction
Newton’s 2nd law
So when there is a resultant force, an object accelerates (changes velocity)
Pushing force
friction
Mr George’s Porche
Newton’s 2nd lawThere is a mathematical relationship between the resultant force and acceleration.
Resultant force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (ms-2)
FR = maIt’s physics, there’s
always a mathematical relationship!
An example
Resultant force = 100 – 60 = 40 N
FR = ma
40 = 100a
a = 0.4 m/s2
Pushing force (100 N) Friction (60
N)
Mass of Mr George and bike = 100 kg
Newton’s 3rd lawIf a body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an equal but opposite force on body A.
Hand (body A) exerts force on table (body B)
Table (body B) exerts force on hand (body A)

Momentum
• Momentum is a useful quantity to consider when thinking about "unstoppability". It is also useful when considering collisions and explosions. It is defined as
Momentum (kg.m.s-1) = Mass (kg) x Velocity (m.s-1)
p = mv
Law of conservation of momentum
• The law of conservation of linear momentum says that
“in an isolated system, momentum remains constant”.
We can use this to calculate what happens after a collision (and in fact during an “explosion”).
Law of conservation of momentum
• In a collision between two objects, momentum is conserved (total momentum stays the same). i.e.
Total momentum before the collision = Total momentum after
Momentum is not energy!
A harder example!
• A car of mass 1000 kg travelling at 5 m.s-1 hits a stationary truck of mass 2000 kg. After the collision they stick together. What is their joint velocity after the collision?
A harder example!
5 m.s-1
1000kg
2000kgBefore
AfterV m.s-1
Combined mass = 3000 kg
Momentum before = 1000x5 + 2000x0 = 5000 kg.m.s-1
Momentum after = 3000v
A harder example
The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum before equals momentum after, so
Momentum before = momentum after
5000 = 3000v
V = 5000/3000 = 1.67 m.s-1
Momentum is a vector
• Momentum is a vector, so if velocities are in opposite directions we must take this into account in our calculations
An even harder example!
Snoopy (mass 10kg) running at 4.5 m.s-
1 jumps onto a skateboard of mass 4 kg travelling in the opposite direction at 7 m.s-1. What is the velocity of Snoopy and skateboard after Snoopy has jumped on?
I love physics
An even harder example!
10kg
4kg-4.5 m.s-1
7 m.s-1
Because they are in opposite directions, we make one velocity negative
14kg
v m.s-1
Momentum before = 10 x -4.5 + 4 x 7 = -45 + 28 = -17
Momentum after = 14v
An even harder example!
Momentum before = Momentum after
-17 = 14v
V = -17/14 = -1.21 m.s-1
The negative sign tells us that the velocity is from left to right (we choose this as our “negative direction”)
“Explosions” - recoil
ImpulseFt = mv – mu
The quantity Ft is called the impulse, and of course mv – mu is the change in momentum (v = final
velocity and u = initial velocity)
Impulse = Change in momentum
ImpulseFt = mv – mu
F = Δp/Δt
Units
Impulse is measured in N.s (Ft)
or kg.m.s-1 (mv – mu)
ImpulseNote; For a ball bouncing off a wall, don’t forget
the initial and final velocity are in different directions, so you will have to make one of them
negative.
In this case mv – mu = -3m -5m = -8m
5 m/s
-3 m/s
Example
• Szymon punches Eerik in the face. If Eerik’s head (mass 10 kg) was initially at rest and moves away from Szymon’s fist at 3 m/s, what impulse was delivered to Eerik’s head? If the fist was in contact with the face for 0.2 seconds, what was the force of the punch?
• m = 10kg, t = 0.2, u = 0, v = 3
• Impulse = Ft = mv – mu = 10x3 – 10x0 = 30 Ns
• Impulse = Ft = 30
Fx0.2 = 30
F = 30/0.2 = 150 N
Another example
• A tennis ball (0.3 kg) hits a racquet at 3 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction at 6 m/s. What impulse is given to the ball?
• Impulse = mv – mu == 0.3x-6 – 0.3x3
= -2.7kg.m.s-1
3 m/s
-6 m/s
Area under a force-time graph = impulse
Area = impulse
Work
In physics, work has a special meaning, different to “normal” English.
Work
In physics, work is the amount of energy transformed (changed) when a force moves (in the direction of the force)
Calculating work
The amount of work done (measured in Joules) is equal to the force used (Newtons) multiplied by the distance the force has moved (metres). Force (N)
Distance travelled (m)
Work (J)= Force(N) x distance(m)
W = Fscosθ
Important
The force has to be in the direction of movement. Carrying the shopping home is not work in physics!
Work = Fscosθ
s
F
θ
What if the force is at an angle to the distance moved?
Lifting objects
Our lifting force is equal to the weight of the object.
Lifting force
weight
Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m)
A woman pushes a car with a force of 400 N at an angle of 10° to the horizontal for a distance of 15m. How much work has she done?
W = Fscosθ = 400x15x0.985
W = 5900 J
Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m)
A man lifts a mass of 120 kg to a height of 2.5m. How much work did he do?
Force = weight = 1200N
Work = F x d = 1200 x 2.5
Work = 3000 J
Power!
Power is the amount of energy transformed (changed) per second. It is measured in Watts (1 Watt = 1 J/s)
Power = Energy transformed

Example
A dog of mass 12 kg falls from an aeroplane at a height of 3.4 km. How much gravitational energy does the dog lose as it falls to the ground
Woof! (help!)
ExampleOn earth g = 10 m/s2
Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m
Mass of dog = 12 kg
ExampleOn earth g = 10 m/s2
Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m
Mass of dog = 12 kg
GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = 408 000 J
Example
GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = 408 000 J
Just before the dog hits the ground, what has this
GPE turned into?
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy of an object can be found using the following formula
Ek = mv2
2where m = mass (in kg) and v = speed (in m/s)
Example
A bullet of mass 150 g is travelling at 400 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
Ek = mv2/2 = (0.15 x (400)2)/2 = 12 000 J
Energy changes
Energy transfer (change)
A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy
Sankey Diagram
A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced
Sankey Diagram
The thickness of each arrow is drawn to scale to show the amount of energy
Sankey Diagram
Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)
Efficiency
Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.
Efficiency
Efficiency is defined as
Efficiency = useful energy output
total energy input
Example
Efficiency = 75 = 0.15=15%
500
Energy efficient light bulb
Efficiency = 75 = 0.75
100 That’s much better!
Elastic collisions
• No loss of kinetic energy (only collisions between subatomic particles)
Inelastic collisions
• Kinetic energy lost (but momentum stays the same!)

The force that keeps an object moving in a circle is called the centripetal force (here provided by gravity)

Uniform Circular Motion
• This describes an object going around a circle at constant speed
Direction of centripetal acceleration/force
VA
VB
VAVB
VA + change in velocity = VB
Change in velocity
The change in velocity (and thus the acceleration) is directed towards the centre of the circle.
Uniform circular motion
The centripetal acceleration/force is always directed towards the centre of the circle
Centripetal force/acceleration
velocity
Not uniform velocity
• It is important to remember that though the speed is constant, the direction is changing all the time, so the velocity is changing.
Uniform speed ≠ uniform velocity
How big is the centripetal acceleration?
a = v2 = 4π2r
r T2
where a is the centripetal acceleration (m.s-2), r is the radius of the circle (m), and v is the constant speed (m.s-1).
How big is the centripetal force?

from F = ma (Newton’s 2nd law)
Centripetal Force - The Real Force
Work done?
• None! Because the force is always perpendicular to the motion, no work is done by the centripetal force.
That’s it!
