Motion
A. 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.
B. Speed & Velocity
Speed d
rate of motion v t
distance traveled per unit time

speed
time
B. Speed & Velocity
Instantaneous Speed
speed at a given instant
Average Speed
total distance
avg. speed
total time
B. Speed & Velocity
Problem:
Acceleration a t
the rate of change of velocity
change in speed or direction
a: acceleration
v f vi vf: final velocity
a vi: initial velocity
t t: time
C. Acceleration
Positive acceleration
speeding up
Negative acceleration
slowing down
D. Calculations
Yourneighbor skates at a speed of 4 m/s.
You can skate 100 m in 20 s. Who skates
faster?
GIVEN: WORK:
d = 100 m v=dt
t = 20 s
v = (100 m) (20 s)
v=?
d v = 5 m/s
v t
D. Calculations
How long will it take a car traveling 30 m/s
to come to a stop if its acceleration is
-3 m/s2?
GIVEN: WORK:
t=? t = (vf - vi) a
vi = 30 m/s
t = (0m/s-30m/s)(-3m/s2)
vf = 0 m/s
vf - vi t = -30 m/s -3m/s2
a = -3 m/s2
a t t = 10 s
E. Graphing Motion
Distance-Time Graph
slope = speed
A
steeper slope =
faster speed
B straight line =
constant speed
flat line =
no motion
E. Graphing Motion
Distance-Time Graph
Who started out faster?
A A (steeper slope)
Who had a constant speed?
A
Describe B from 10-20 min.
B B stopped moving
Find their average speeds.
A = (2400m) (30min)
A = 80 m/min
B = (1200m) (30min)
B = 40 m/min
