YOU deserve a speeding ticket!Officer Friendly is the LAW around
here and the LAW says that the speed limit is 55 miles per hour!
Here is the scenario!
You wake up late and have 20 minutes to get to school and you especially do not want to be late for physics! You decide to travel at 65 mph in a 55 mph zone. Unfortunately, Officer Friendly pulls you over. You see, the LAW states that you must pay $10 for every mile you are over the speed limit. Therefore, you MUST pay $100 to cover the fine. Being a law abiding citizen you agree, and pay the fine. But as you begin to leave you hear Officer Friendly say……..
BUT WAIT!Our city council just recently passed a law 3 months ago that requires us to fine you for being on the planet Earth as it rotates on it’s axis. Since Earth rotates on its axis at 1000 mph you must pay ….

BUT WAIT!Our city council just last month passed a law that requires us to fine you for being on the planet Earth as it revolves around our Sun at a speed of 66,621 mph. Thus your fine is…..

Let me total your fine!

Now be a law abiding citizen and PAY UP!
The bottom line….Motion is RELATIVEIt depends completely on how you want to look at the moving
object. You establish a frame of reference!
Example: You are sitting in an airplane which is moving at a speed of 100 km/h and there is a fly sitting on your head.
(a) What is your speed relative to the ground?
(b) What is your speed relative to the seat you're sitting it?
(c) What is the speed of the fly relative to you?
100 km/hr
0 km/hr
0 km/hr
DisplacementDisplacement (x or y) "Change in position"
It is not necessarily the total distance traveled. In fact, displacement and distance are entirely different concepts. Displacement is relative to an axis.
o "x" displacement means you are moving horizontally either right or left.o "y" displacement means you are moving vertically either up or down.o The word change is expressed using the Greek letter DELTA ( Δ ).o To find the change you ALWAYS subtract your FINAL - INITIAL positiono It is therefore expressed as either Δx = xf - xi or Δy = yf - yi
Distance - How far you travel regardless of direction.
ExampleSuppose a person moves in a straight line from the lockers( at a position x =
1.0 m) toward the physics lab(at a position x = 9.0 m) , as shown below
The answer is positive so the person must have been traveling horizontally to the right.
ExampleSuppose the person turns around!
The answer is negative so the person must have been traveling horizontally to the left
What is the DISPLACEMENT for the entire trip?
What is the total DISTANCE for the entire trip?

Average VelocityVelocity is defined as: “The RATE at which DISPLACEMENT changes”.
Rate = ANY quantity divided by TIME.
Average SPEED is simply the “RATE at which DISTANCE changes”.

ExampleA quarterback throws a pass to a defender on the other team who
intercepts the football. Assume the defender had to run 50 m away from the quarterback to catch the ball, then 15 m towards the quarterback before he is tackled. The entire play took 8 seconds.

Slope – A basic graph modelA basic model for understanding graphs in physics is SLOPE.
Using the model - Look at the formula for velocity.
Who gets to play the role of the slope?
Who gets to play the role of the y-axis or the rise?
Who get to play the role of the x-axis or the run?
What does all the mean? It means that if your are given a Displacement vs. Time graph, to find the velocity of an object during specific time intervals simply find the slope.

Displacement vs. Time graphWhat is the velocity of the object from 0 seconds to 3 seconds?
The velocity is the slope!
Displacement vs. Time graphWhat is the velocity of the object from 7 seconds to 8
seconds? Once again...find the slope!
A velocity of 0 m/s. What does this mean? It is simple....the object has simply stopped moving for 1 second.
Displacement vs. Time graphWhat is the velocity from 8-10 seconds? You must remember! To
find the change it is final - initial.
The answer is negative! It is no surprise, because the slope is considered to be negative.
This value could mean several things: The object could be traveling WEST or SOUTH. The object is going backwards - this being the more likely choice!
You should also understand that the slope does NOT change from 0-3s , 5 to 7s and 8- 10s.
This means that the object has a CONSTANT VELOCITY or IT IS NOT ACCELERATING.
ExampleIt is very important that you are able to look at a graph and explain it's motion in great detail. These graphs can be very conceptual.
Look at the time interval t = 0 to t = 9 seconds. What does the slope do?
It increases, the velocity is increasingLook at the time interval t = 9 to t = 11 seconds. What does the slope do?
No slope. The velocity is ZERO.Look at the time interval t = 11 to t = 15 seconds. What does the slope do?
The slope is constant and positive. The object is moving forwards at a constant velocity.Look at the time interval t = 15 to t = 17 seconds. What does the slope do? The slope is constant and negative. The object is moving backwards at a constant velocity.

va - 5.45 m/s/s
Example
Notice: Initial velocity was positive (moving in the positive direction). The change in velocity is negative, so the acceleration is negative.
Sign Conventions
Remember: Positive or Negative refer to direction, not increasing or decreasing amount.
Speeding Up (velocity and acceleration have same sign)+v & +a -or- -v & -a
Slowing Down (velocity and acceleration have opposite signs)+v & -a -or- -v & +a

If an object is in FREE FALL in the VERTICAL DIRECTION, the acceleration is due to GRAVITY.
ssmgay //8.9•It NEVER ceases to exist•It ALWAYS works DOWN
•It is NEVER zero•This is ONLY true in a vacuum (no air)
Free-Fall Acceleration
Example: A person throws a ball straight upward into the air.
Q1: What is the Acceleration at the TOP of its path? -9.8 m/s/s
Q2: What is the VELOCITY at the TOP of its path?ZERO
Acceleration due to Gravity
Q3: What is the magnitude(#value) and direction of the acceleration, HALF way up?
-9.8 m/s/s - ALWAYS DOWNWARD
Q4: What is the magnitude(#value) and direction of the acceleration, HALF way down?
-9.8 m/s/s - ALWAYS DOWNWARD
THE BOTTOM LINE: EVERYTHING will accelerate at -9.8 m/s/s in a VACUUM, that is any situation involving NO AIR.
