  1. Describing Motion

  2. Objective: By the end of Chapter 2 we will know the concepts of motion; position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

  3. Warm Up: Think-Pair-Share: How would you describe motion to another person? • Football play • Futbol play • Basketball play • Baseball play • Movie Scene

  4. Picturing Motion

  5. Motion Diagrams • Motion Diagram - A series of images of a moving object that records its position at equal time intervals. • b b b b b b Constant Velocity • bb b b bAcceleration • b b b bbDeceleration

  6. Particle Diagrams • Particle Diagram - The images of the motion diagram are replaced with points representing the centers of mass.  Constant Velocity •  Acceleration •  Deceleration • An illustration... Motion Diagrams

  7. Operational Definitions • Operational Definition - Defining concepts in terms of the procedure (operation) you used to identify them. • We defined four concepts of motion: • At Rest: Standing Still. No speed. Zero speed. • Constant Velocity: Constant speed. Maintain Speed. • Acceleration: Increasing speed. Speeding up. • Deceleration: Decreasing speed. Slowing down.

  8. How does it feel? • How does constant velocity in a car "feel"? Why? • How does acceleration in a car "feel"? Why? • How does deceleration in a car "feel"? Why? Advanced thoughts… • How does taking a curve in a car "feel"? Why?

  9. Where and When?

  10. Coordinate System - Deciding where to place the measuring tape and when to start the timer. Origin - Point where both variables are of value zero.

  11. Position Vector Position Vector: Straight line with arrow (vector) having one end fixed to a body (vector tail) and the other end attached to the origin or reference point (vector head). Vector (arrow) from origin to the center of mass at time t.

  12. Displacement Vector Displacement Vector: a vector quantity that defines the distance and direction between two positions. So what’s the difference? Position vector is from origin. Displacement is from point to point. All position vectors are displacement vectors but not all displacement vectors are position vectors.

  13. Vectors versus Scalars Scalar Quantity - A quantity that tells you only the magnitude of something (e.g. temperature, mass, time.) Vector Quantity - A quantity that tells you not only the magnitude of something but also the direction.

  14. Velocity & Acceleration

  15. Warm Up: Think-Pair-Share; What about motion makes you feel “jerky” or nauseous?

  16. Velocity Velocity - Change in distance (∆x) traveled for a given change intime (∆t) .v =Change in distance=∆xChange intime ∆tNote Bene: ∆x = change in = x1-x0 or x2- x1

  17. Average Velocity Average Velocity - Change in distance (∆x) traveled for a given change intime (∆t) . ** Will not show fluctuations in speed during travel

  18. Average Speed Average Speed - Ratio of totalchange in distance (∆x) traveled to the totalchange in time (∆t).

  19. Speed versus Velocity What is the difference? Vector = Magnitude + DirectionVelocity = Magnitude + Direction  + V=V Scalar = MagnitudeSpeed = Magnitude S=S

  20. Instantaneous Velocity Instantaneous velocity - Velocity at a particular “instant” of time. This is a point on the distance - time graph. (A.k.a. Velocity at time “t”). Tangent to curve at time “t”.

  21. Slope of distance-time The slope of the distance-time graph is the velocity. Constant velocity Changing velocity = ?

  22. Average Acceleration Average Acceleration - Change in velocity (∆) traveled for a given change intime (∆t) .

  23. Instantaneous Acceleration Instantaneous acceleration - Acceleration at a particular “instant” of time. This is a point on the velocity-time graph. (A.k.a. acceleration at time “t”). Tangent to curve at time “t”.

  24. Slope of velocity-time The slope of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration. Constant acceleration

  25. Problem Solving Follow these steps to solve problems: Read problem Make Diagram Identify Knowns Identify Unknowns Choose Formula Solve (and check) ***Acronym R&D Kufs
