  1. PHY131H1F - Class 6 • Today: • Kinematics in One Dimension • Kinematics in Two Dimensions • Projectile Motion • Relative Motion • MasteringPhysics Problem Set 2 due today, before 11:59pm.

  2. Quick Relative Velocity Question!! You are running toward the right at 5 m/s toward an elevator that is moving up at 2 m/s. Relative to you, the direction and magnitude of the elevator’s velocity are • down and to the right, less than 2 m/s. • up and to the left, less than 2 m/s. • up and to the left, more than 2 m/s. • up and to the right, less than 2 m/s. • up and to the right, more than 2 m/s.

  3. Last day I asked at the end of class: • One bullet is fired horizontally at a very high speed. The other bullet is initially at rest, but is dropped at the exact same moment the first bullet is fired. Which bullet hits the ground first? • ANSWER: They both hit the ground at the same time [if you neglect the curvature of the Earth]. • x-motion and y-motion are independent of each other. All projectiles have constant horizontal velocity component (ax = 0) and are accelerating downward at g (ay = −9.8 m/s2).

  4. Horizontal Acceleration Example v • A car starts from rest, then drives to the right. It speeds up to a maximum speed of 30 m/s. It coasts at this speed for a while, then the driver hits the brakes, and the car slows down to a stop. • While it is speeding up, the acceleration vector of the car is • to the right. • to the left. • zero.

  5. Horizontal Acceleration Example v • A car starts from rest, then drives to the right. It speeds up to a maximum speed of 30 m/s. It coasts at this speed for a while, then the driver hits the brakes, and the car slows down to a stop. • While it is coasting, the acceleration vector of the car is • to the right. • to the left. • zero.

  6. Horizontal Acceleration Example v • A car starts from rest, then drives to the right. It speeds up to a maximum speed of 30 m/s. It coasts at this speed for a while, then the driver hits the brakes, and the car slows down to a stop. • While it is slowing down, the acceleration vector of the car is • to the right. • to the left. • zero.

  7. Vertical Acceleration Example (freefall) • A ball starts with an upward velocity, reaches a maximum height, then falls back down again. • While the ball is going up, the acceleration vector of the ball is • up. • down. • zero. v

  8. Vertical Acceleration Example (freefall) • A ball starts with an upward velocity, reaches a maximum height, then falls back down again. • When the ball is momentarily stopped at the top of its path, the acceleration vector of the ball is • up. • down. • zero.

  9. Vertical Acceleration Example (freefall) • A ball starts with an upward velocity, reaches a maximum height, then falls back down again. • While the ball is going down, the acceleration vector of the ball is • up. • down. • zero. v

  10. Acceleration in 2-D The average acceleration of a moving object is defined as the vector • As an object moves, its velocity vector can change in two possible ways: • The magnitude of the velocity can change, indicating a change in speed, or • The direction of the velocity can change, indicating that the object has changed direction. • …or both!

  11. This acceleration will cause the particle to • slow down and curve downward. • slow down and curve upward. • speed up and curve downward. • speed up and curve upward. • move to the left and down.

  12. Announcements • The first term test will be on Tuesday, October 2, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. • If you have a conflict at that time with an academic activity (test, lecture, tutorial, lab), you must register to write at the alternate sitting of this test by coming (no email!) to MP129 no later than September 27 at 5:00pm. • As indicated at the beginning of the Physics section in the Faculty Course Timetable, this alternate sitting will be held just before the main sitting. Therefore, you are expected to have kept the time between 4:30 and 6:00pm free if you wish to write at the alternate sitting. • There is no third sitting and there will be no make-up test. Students who miss Test 1 for documented medical reasons will have Test 2 count for 30% of their mark.

  13. Projectile Motion

  14. Projectile Motion Projectile motion is made up of two independent motions: uniform motion at constant velocity in the horizontal direction and free-fall motion in the vertical direction. The kinematic equations that describe these two motions are

  15. Average: 9.799 m/s2 • Standard Deviation: 0.012 m/s2 • This class: let’s use g = 9.80 m/s2

  16. Monkey and Hunter Demonstration The classic problem: “A monkey hanging from the branch of a tree is spotted by a hunter. The monkey sees that the barrel of the gun is pointed directly at him. At the exact instant the gun is fired, the monkey lets go of the branch. Will the bullet (A) go above the monkey, (B) go below the monkey, or (C) hit the monkey? Our demonstration uses a blow gun. The gun is aimed directly at the Roman Centurion, which is held up by an electromagnet. As the bullet leaves the muzzle of the blow gun, it breaks a connection that releases the magnet.

  17. Relative Motion

  18. Relative Motion • A helpful notation: • vTG = velocity of the Train relative to the Ground • vPT = velocity of the Passenger relative to the Train • vPG = velocity of the Passenger relative to the Ground vPG = vPT + vTG Inner subscripts disappear

  19. Relative Motion • Also: v12 = −v21 • Example 1: A passenger walks toward the front of the train at 5 m/s. The train is moving at 36 m/s. What is the speed of the passenger relative to the ground? • Example 2: Car A is traveling at 25.0 m/s E toward Bloor and Keele. Car B is traveling at 15.8 m/s N toward Bloor and Keele. Just before they collide, what is the velocity of car A relative to car B?

  20. You are on an Eastbound subway train going at 20 m/s. You notice the Westbound train on the other track. Relative to the ground, that Westbound train has a speed of 20 m/s. What is the velocity of the Westbound train as measured by you? • 40 m/s, West • 20 m/s, West • zero • 20 m/s, East • 40 m/s, East

  21. Before Class 7 on Monday • Remember there is a MasteringPhysics.com problem set due today. If you haven’t already done it, please submit this before 11:59pm Friday. • Monday’s class will be review for the test, which is on Tuesday at 6:00pm. • The test will cover Chapters 1-3, the Error Analysis Mini-Document, and Sections 4.1 through 4.4. • You must bring a calculator and one 8.5x11’ aid sheet which you prepare, double-sided
