SpeedThe rate of change of position.Defined as the distance traveled divided by the time of travel.Note: Because speed can change during an object’s motion we will actually define average speed as the distance traveled divided by the time of travel.

average speed=distancetime Units: m

Zero...

Constant but not zero...

object travels equal distances in equal time intervals

object travels different distances in equal time intervals

Scalars and VectorsA scalar is any measured quantity having only a magnitude.

A vector is any measured quantity having both a magnitude AND an associated direction.

Examples:MassTimeTemperature

Example:Displacement

For motion in only one direction the direction can be specified with a + or - sign.Horizontal Motion: Toward the right (+) Toward the left (-)

Vertical Motion: Up (+) Down (-)

+/- Signs in Various ContextsUsed in front of a number:

+20 Number is greater than zero-20 Number is less than zero

Used in front of a vector:d = +20m Displacement is 20m to the right (or up)

d = -20m Displacement is 20m to the left (or down)

Between two numbers or vectors:

20m+10m Sum of two displacements 20m+10m = 30m

20m-(-10m) Difference between two displacements20m+(-10m) = 30m

The corresponding vector is called velocity.

AccelerationThe rate of change in the velocity

acceleration=change in velocitytime

Acceleration is a vector.

Units=ms2

Acceleration may be:

Zero…

Constant but not zero...

velocity constant.

Velocity changing uniformly, by the same amount each unit of time.

Changing... Velocity changing not uniformly, by the different amounts each unit of time.

Note: In this course we will not consider motion with a changing acceleration.

Page 12: Kinematics The Study of Motion Chapter 2. What are some different types of motion? What are some terms (concepts) that describe our observations of motion?

Acceleration can change the velocity in three ways.

If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity i.e., parallel to the velocity...

The magnitude of the velocity increases i.e., the object moves faster.Pressing the gas pedal in a car does this.

If the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity i.e., antiparallel to the velocity...

The magnitude of the velocity decreases i.e., the object moves slower.

Pressing the brake pedal in a car does this.

If the acceleration is perpendicular the velocity...

The direction of the velocity changes.

Turning the steering wheel of a car does this,

Consider an object projected upward.

Because of gravity the object moves upward while at the same time going slower and slower.

It momentarily stops at point “B”.

It then moves downward while at the same time going faster and faster.

From point “A” to point “B” :Displacement is +

Velocity is + ; decreasingAcceleration is -, constant

At point “B” :Velocity is zero

Acceleration is -, constant

From point “B” to point “C” :Displacement is -

Velocity is - ; increasingAcceleration is -, constant

Other Derived Relationships for Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Start with:

d = v ⋅tSubstitute:

v =vi +vf2 → d =

vi +vf2 ⋅t

Substitute:

vf =vi + a⋅t → d =vi + vi +a⋅t( )

2 ⋅t

Simplify: → d =2vi +a⋅t

2 ⋅t → d =(vi +12 a⋅t)⋅t

→ d =vi ⋅t+12 a⋅t2

Free-FallFree-Fall includes all motion which meets the following two conditions:

1. Motion is only in the vertical direction (up/down)2. Motion is only affected by gravity

What type of motion is free-fall?

Constant VelocityConstant Acceleration

Does the acceleration depend on the mass of the object?Yes

No

What is the value of the acceleration due to gravity? Does it depend on the body producing the gravitational force? At the earth' s surface g = -9.8 m

s2

At the moon's surface g = -1.7 ms2

Page 24: Kinematics The Study of Motion Chapter 2. What are some different types of motion? What are some terms (concepts) that describe our observations of motion?

ConclusionFree-Fall is an example uniformly accelerated motion.At the earth’s surface the acceleration due to gravity is constant and independent of the object’s mass.

At the earth' s surface

the acceleration due to gravity, g = -9.8 ms2

The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass and size of the body producing the gravitational force.

Does the acceleration depend on the direction (up/down)?

Yes

No
