Acceleration is the rate of change in the speed of an object.
Positive acceleration and positive speed
Negative acceleration and positive speed
Change in speed (m/sec)
Change in time (sec)
Acceleration (m/sec2) =
A student conducts an acceleration experiment
by coasting a bicycle down a steep hill.
The student records the speed of the bicycle every second for five seconds.
Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle.
Constant acceleration is different from constant speed.
Motion with zero acceleration appears as a straight horizontal line on a speed versus time graph.
zero acceleration constant speed
Constant acceleration is sometimes called uniform acceleration.
A ball rolling down a straight ramp has constant acceleration.
constant acceleration increasing speed
An object can have acceleration, but no speed.
Consider a ball rolling up a ramp. As the ball slows down, eventually its
speed becomes zero.
constant negative acceleration decreasing speed
MASS, VOLUME, & DENSITY
Definition: Amount of matter in an object
Units: kg or g Mass is different from weight because…Weight depends on pull of gravity
Definition: How much space an object takes up
Regular shaped object (box) then V= L x W x H (cm3 or m3)
Liquids - to find volume…use graduated cylinder (mL or L)
Use graduated cylinder for odd shaped solid objects (cm3 or m3)
Obtain a clean graduated cylinder.
Fill the graduated cylinder with enough water to cover object. Record the volume
Carefully place the object into the water filled graduated cylinder.
Record the new water level. The volume of the object is
the Vfinal – Vinitial
Density is the measurement of the mass of an object per unit volume of that object.
Formula: D (density) = m (mass)
V(volume)
A rock has a mass of 25.7 grams and a volume of 3.56 cm3. Find the density.
1st write: D = mass volume
2nd: Substitute in the measurements D = 25.6 g 3.56 cm3
3rd: Calculate following sig fig rules.Density = 7.19 g/ cm3
Calculate the density of a marble that has a mass of 13.6 grams and a volume of 6.1 cm3.
D = m/V = 13.6 g / 6.1 cm3
D = m/V = 2.2 g / cm3
If you pack more mass into the same volume, it is more dense.
Example: packing wet sand into a bucket
If you pack the SAME mass into a SMALLER volume, it is MORE dense
Example: a trash compactor.
Just because something has more mass DOES NOT mean it is more DENSE.
Distance

Force
40 N
W = F * d
= 40 N * 10 m = 400 Joules
Force acting through a distance
Force must be in same direction as distance

Feffort*distance Fresistance*distance
Work Input is always greater than Work Output due to Friction
10N*5m = 50J 20N*2m = 40J
% Efficiency = (40 J / 50 J) = 0.8

Work Input is always greater than Work Output due to Friction

I. Law of InertiaII. F = maIII. Action / Reaction

A force is…a push or a pull.
Friction, Drag, Gravity, and Weight are forces…
Law I: Inertia vs. Mass
Bigger masses have more…
Smaller masses have less inertia.
But inertia does not equal mass.
F = maForce equals mass x acceleration
Newton’s 2nd Law:
F = ma
mass = 10 kg
acceleration = 2 m/s
Find the Force.
F = 10 kg x 2 m/s = 20 N

Newton’s 3rd Law:
You exert force on the weights and…
The weights exert the same force on you.
Water is pushed back and…
the boat is pushed forward.

What are waves?
36
a wave is a disturbance that travels away from a source.
37
sound waves visible light waves radio waves microwaves water waves sine waves telephone chord waves stadium waves earthquake waves waves on a string slinky waves
38
Waves transfer energy with transferring matter.
Lets do a Stadium Wave!
A wave transfers energy from place to place.
What carries waves?
A medium, a medium is the material through which a wave travels.
A medium can be a gas, liquid, or solid.
Waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate.
A vibration is a repeated back and forth or up and down motion.
v = velocityf = frequency= wavelength
v = velocity, m/sf = frequency, Hertz (Hz)λ = wavelength, m
λ is the Greek letter “lambda”
Calculate the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m.
v = f = 250 Hz 3 m
v = 750 m/s
What is momentum?
All objects have mass.So if an object is moving, then it has momentum.It is mass in motion.
Momentum = mass * velocity
Equation: p = m V
Determine the momentum of a ... a. 60 kg body moving at 9 m/s. b. 1000 kg car moving at 20 m/s.
c. 40 kg freshman moving at 2 m/s
Answers: a. 540 kg m/s b. 20,000 kg m/s c. 80
kg m/s
Conceptual Check:
If the boulder and the boy have the same momentum,will the boulder crush the boy?
Hint: Which would have the larger speed?
Which has a greater momentum, a skateboard moving at 3 m/s or a stationary ten-wheeler truck ? Explain your answer.
When can a ball have the same momentum as an airplane parked on a runway? Explain your answer.
Conceptual Check:
Momentum Rocket = Momentum Exhaust
A 20 kg rocket zooms upward at 5 meter/second. At the same exact time, 10 kg of
water shoots downward. How fast does the water shoot out?
Here is an example.
FCAT Physics: Part III.Pressure
A woman’s high heelssink into the soft ground,
but the larger shoes of the much bigger man do not. Why? More Pressure. Pressure = Force / Area
Calculate the pressure exerted by a heel of a shoe with an area of .02 m2 if the force of the heel is 50 N.
P = F / A = 50 N / .02 m2
P = 2500 N / m2
More nails means less pressure from each one.
Get the point!
