• The kinematics of motion in one dimension

• Problem-solving strategies

• Free fall

Chapter 2Motion in One Dimension

Topics:

Sample question:

Horses can run much much faster than humans, but if the length of the course is right, a human can beat a horse in a race. When, and why, can a man outrun a horse?

Slide 2-1

From this class:

• In Chapter 1 you began studying motion in one dimension. We continue the development of the concepts in this chapter.

• In Chapter 1 you saw how to represent motion using a motion diagram. In this chapter we will look at other ways to represent motion.

From previous classes:

• We will use graphical representations of motion extensively in this chapter. You should have learned how to draw, interpret, and work with graphs in previous courses.

Answer

Examples

A soccer player is 15 m from her opponent’s goal. She kicks the ball hard; after 0.50 s, it flies past a defender who stands 5 m away, and continues toward the goal. How much time does the goalie have to move into position to block the kick from the moment the ball leaves the kicker’s foot?

Cleveland and Chicago are 340 miles apart by train. Train A leaves Cleveland going west to Chicago at 1:00 PM, traveling at 60 mph. Train B leaves Chicago going east to Cleveland at 2:00 PM, going 45 mph. At what time do the two trains meet? How far are they from Chicago at this time?
