Graphing Motion

Distance vs. Time

Velocity vs. time

Acceleration vs. time

Displacement Dx

Dx = xf - xi

In this case, xi = -1m, xf = 3m,So Dx = 3 – (-1) = 4m

Average Velocity vavg

Vavg = Dx / Dt

In this case, xi = -1m, xf = 3m,so Dx = 3 – (-1) = 4m , andDt = 4 – 0 = 4s.

So, vavg = 4m/4s = 1m/s

Average velocity is the slope of the x vs. t graph.

Compare the velocities for the three graphs.

The graph tells you

1. The direction of motion.

2. The relative speed.

Vavg = Dx / Dt

Acceleration a = Dv / Dt

The acceleration of an object tells you how much the velocity changes every second.

The units of acceleration are m/s2.

The acceleration is the slope of a velocity vs. time graph.

a = Dv / Dt = rise / run = 3/5 m/s2.

+ slope = speeding up-slope = slowing downzero slope = constant speed

1-D Kinematics

ExampleA car starts from rest and accelerates at 4 m/s2 for 3 seconds.

1. How fast is it moving after 3 seconds?

2. How far does it travel in 3 seconds?

1. 4 = (vf – 0) / 3 , vf = 12 m/s

2. Dd = 0(3) + .5(4)(32) = 18m

ExampleA car starts from rest and obtains a velocity of 10m/s after traveling 15m. What is its acceleration?

a = (102 – 0) / ( 30) = 3.33 m/s2

Projectile Motion

Vertical Motion: vA = -vC vB = 0

From B to C : d = ½gt2 v = gt

t = Time from A to B = Time from B to C

Total time in air = 2t

Example

A projectile is fired upwards and hits the ground 10 seconds later.

1. How high did it go?

2. What speed was it fired at?

1. Note : t = 5 seconds d = ½gt2 = .5(9.8)(52) = 122.5m

2. v = gt = 9.8(5) = 49 m/s

Example

A ball moving at 5 m/s rolls off of a table 1m tall and hits the ground.

1. How long was it in the air?

2. What horizontal distance did it travel?

1. d = ½gt2 1 = .5(9.8)t2 t = = .45s

2. x = vt = 5(.45) = 2.26m

Circular Motion

Example: A car rounds the circular curve (r = 50m) in 10 seconds.

1. What is the velocity?2. What is the centripetal acceleration while in the curve?

1. V = d/t = (pr/t ) = (3.14)(50)/10 = 15.7 m/s

2. a = v2/r = (15.7)2/50 = 4.93 m/s2

Step 1: Identify all of the forces acting on the object  Step 2 : Draw a free body Diagram  Step 3: Break every force into x and y components.  Step 4: Apply the second law:  SFx = max   SFy = may

This usually gives 2 equations and 2 unknowns.  Step 5: If needed, apply the kinematic equations.  xf = xi +vit +1/2at2 vf = vi + at

Applying Newton’s Laws of Motion

Problems With Acceleration

A box (m = 20kg) is pushed to the right with a force of 50N. A frictional force of 20N acts to the left. What is the acceleration of the box?

P = ( 50, 0 )

W = ( 0, - 196 )

N= ( 0, N )

f = ( -20,0)

SFx = max , 50 – 20 = 20 ax , ax = 1.50 m/s2

Acceleration Down an Inclined Plane with Friction

Find an expression for the acceleration down the plane and for the normal force.

Sketch the forces………..Make the free-body diagram.

N = ( 0, N)

T = (-f, 0)

W = ( mgsin q , -mgcosq )

0 – f + mgsin q = 0 ; max = mgsin q – fN + 0 - mgcosq = 0 ; N = mgcosq

Apply the 2nd Law :

EXAMPLE

Find the net force down the plane.

max = mgsinq – f = 40sin(30) – 10 = 20 – 10 = 10N

Universal Gravity

F = m1m2G/r2

Newton’s Law of Gravity : Every two objects attract each otherwith a gravitational force given by:

m1 = mass of the first object in kg m2 = mass of the second object in kg r = distance between the two masses in meters G = 6.67 x 10-11

Example

Find the force between these two masses.

F = m1m2G/r2 = (10)(10)(6.67 x10-11)/22 =

1.67 x 10-9 Newtons
