Any change in velocity …
• Speeding up
• Slowing down
• Changing direction
We define acceleration as …
calculatest
v
… the exact acceleration when the acceleration is uniform
… the average acceleration when it isn’t
Since we are using the same formula regardless of whether or not the acceleration is uniform we are not going to make a big deal of differentiating between the exact and average acceleration.
Sample Problem
• A car accelerates at a constant rate from 40 km/h[E] to 90 km/h[E] in 5.0s. What is its acceleration?
Every second the velocity increases by 10 km/h towards the East
[E] is +ive
Sample Problem
• A car accelerates at a constant rate from 40 km/h[E] to 90 km/h[E] in 5.0s. What is its acceleration?
Every second the velocity increases by 2.8 m/s towards the East
[E] is +ive
Sample Problem
• A runner starting from rest reaches a velocity of 9.6 m/s in 2.0s. What is her average acceleration?
Assume she runs in the +ive direction
Every second the velocity increases by 4.8 m/s
Sample Problem
• A baseball player running at 8.0m/s[W] slides into third base, coming to rest in 1.6s. What is his average acceleration?
[w] is +ive
Slowing down as you go west is the same as speeding up towards the east

Sample Problem• The graph shows the motion of a car for a 10s
interval. What is the displacement of the car during this time interval?
Consider the rectangle formed by the graph line and time axis
Length = 10s
Width = 20m/s
The displacement in any time interval is given by the area under the v-t graph

The graph shows the velocity of a ball that starts from rest and rolls down a long hill. What is the ball’s displacement after 10s?
Base=10s
Height=20m/s
The graph shows the motion of a dog running up and down a straight road for a 16s interval. What is the dogs displacement over that time interval?

Bodies in Free Fall
• Free fall refers to any body falling under the influence of gravity alone
• That is, the only force that acts on a freely falling object is gravity
How do things fall?
• Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) said that objects would fall at a constant speed and that the speed of a falling object would be proportional to its mass
• That is, a 2kg stone would fall twice as fast as a 1kg stone
• This went unchallenged for nearly 2000 years
• Galileo (1564 – 1642) hypothesized that objects do not fall at a constant speed, but accelerate
• He conducted experiments using balls rolled down inclined planes and a water clock
• He concluded that objects in free fall undergo uniform acceleration
• He also concluded that in the absence of air resistance the acceleration of a freely falling body is independent of mass
• Near the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity, denoted g, is …
• g = 9.8m/s2
• It varies slightly from location to location due to:– elevation– latitude– topography– geology
• Since freely falling bodies experience uniform acceleration, the equations we derived earlier also apply when solving free fall problems
