Measuring Motion • Motion—when an object changes its position relative to a reference point • Distance—how far an object has moved • Displacement—distance and direction of an object’s change of position from a starting point
Motion • Problem: • Is your desk moving? • We need a reference point... • nonmoving point from which motion is measured
Reference point Motion Motion • Motion • Change in position in relation to a reference point.
Motion Problem: • You are a passenger in a car stopped at a stop sign. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a tree on the side of the road begin to move forward. • You have mistakenly set yourself as the reference point.
Measuring Motion • Speed—distance an object travels per unit of time • Rate—any change over time • Calculation for speed: speed = distance/time • Speed that doesn’t change over time—constant speed • Speed is usually not constant; usually an object has changing speed. • Average speed—speed of motion when speed is changing: speed = total distance/total travel time • Instantaneous speed—speed at any given point in time
d v t Speed • Speed • rate of motion • distance traveled per unit time
Speed & Velocity • Instantaneous Speed • speed at a given instant • Average Speed
Measuring Motion • A distance-time graph displays motion of an object over time. • Plot distance on a(n) vertical axis. • Plot time on a(n) horizontal axis. • Velocity—speed and direction of an object’s motion • Motion of Earth’s crust—so slow we don’t notice
Speed & Velocity • Problem: • A storm is 10 km away and is moving at a speed of 60 km/h. Should you be worried? • It depends on the storm’s direction!
Speed & Velocity • Velocity • speed in a given direction • can change even when the speed is constant!
Acceleration • Acceleration—change in velocity’s rate • Positive acceleration—speed is increasing. • Negative acceleration—speed is decreasing. • When an object changes speed or direction, it is accelerating.
Acceleration • Calculating acceleration • Acceleration = change invelocity/time • Change in velocity = final velocity – initial velocity • Unit for acceleration—meters per second squared • Positive acceleration—positive number with a positive slope on a velocity-time graph • Negative acceleration—negative number with a negative slope on a velocity-time graph
Acceleration • Amusement park acceleration—Roller coasters • Changes in speed cause acceleration. • Changes in direction cause acceleration.
vf - vi t a Acceleration • Acceleration • the rate of change of velocity • change in speed or direction a: acceleration vf: final velocity vi: initial velocity t: time
Motion and Force • Force—a push or pull that one body applies to another • A force can cause an object’s motion to change. • When two or more forces combine at the same time, they create a net force. • Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. • Unbalanced forces are unequal in size and / or are not in the same direction.

Balanced Forces forces acting on an object that are opposite in direction and equal in size no change in velocity Force
N N Force • Net Force • unbalanced forces that are not opposite and equal • velocity changes (object accelerates) Fnet Ffriction Fpull W
Motion and Force • Inertia and Mass • Inertia—an object’s resistance to any change in motion • Objects with greater mass have greater inertia. • Newton’s first law of motion—an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless a net force acts on it; an object at rest will stay at rest unless a net force acts on it.
Motion and Force • Auto crashes—the law of inertia at work • A passenger not wearing a seat belt keeps moving forward at the car’s speed even after the car stops. • A passenger wearing a seat belt slows down as the car slows down and stops.
