ACCELERATION AND FREE FALL CHAPTER 3
ACCELERATION •
ACCELERATION • When velocity and acceleration are in the same direction, the speed of the object increases with time. • When velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions, the speed of the object decreases with time.
ACCELERATION • 4. 0 s vf=-10. 0 m/s vi=-2. 0 m/s
ACCELERATION • 4. 0 s vf=-2. 0 m/s vi=-10. 0 m/s
DECELERATION VS. NEGATIVE ACCELERATION • Deceleration – Reduction in speed • Negative Acceleration – Acceleration vector is in the negative-x direction
INSTANTANEOUS ACCELERATION •
MOTION DIAGRAMS
ONE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION • Many applications of mechanics involve objects moving with constant acceleration • Constant Acceleration • Instantaneous acceleration = average acceleration
COMPARING MOTION GRAPHS
VELOCITY AS A FUNCTION OF TIME •
REALITY CHECK •
DISPLACEMENT AS A FUNCTION OF TIME • The area under the line on a velocity vs. time graph is equal to the displacement of the object.
AN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THAT ITS SUPERDELUXE SPORTS CAR WILL ACCELERATE UNIFORMLY FROM REST TO A SPEED OF 38. 9 M/S IN 8. 00 S. •
VELOCITY AS A FUNCTION OF DISPLACEMENT •
EQUATIONS FOR MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER CONSTANT ACCELERATION Equation Information Given by Equation Velocity as a function of time Displacement as a function of time Velocity as a function of displacement
IN COMING TO A STOP, A CAR LEAVES SKID MARKS 92. 0 M LONG ON THE HIGHWAY. ASSUMING A DECELERATION OF 7. 00 M/S 2, ESTIMATE THE SPEED OF THE CAR JUST BEFORE BRAKING. •
FREE FALL • When air resistance is ignored, all objects in free fall near the Earth’s surface fall at the same constant acceleration. • Galileo • Dropped objects of different weights of Leaning Tower of Pisa • Or did he? • Inclined Planes • Diluting Gravity
FREE FALL •
FREE FALL • A tennis player on serve tosses a ball straight up. While the ball is in free fall , does the acceleration • • • A. Increase B. Decrease C. Increase then Decrease D. Decrease then Increase E. Remain Constant
FREE FALL • A tennis player on serve tosses a ball straight up. While the ball is in free fall , does the acceleration • • • A. Increase B. Decrease C. Increase then Decrease D. Decrease then Increase E. Remain Constant
FREE FALL • As the tennis ball in the previous question travels through the air, its speed • • • A. Increases B. Decreases C. Decreases then Increases D. Increases then Decreases E. Remains the Same
FREE FALL • As the tennis ball in the previous question travels through the air, its speed • • • A. Increases B. Decreases C. Decreases then Increases D. Increases then Decreases E. Remains the Same
A BASEBALL IS HIT NEARLY STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR WITH A SPEED OF 22 M/S. •
