Workbook problem # 1 b Sketch a position vs. time graph for the following on the white board: Trucker Bob starts the day 120 miles west of Denver. He drives east for 3 hours at a steady 60 mph before stoping for his coffee break. Let Denver be located at x = 0 mi. and assume the x-axis (which is the position axis) points east (i. e. positive direction on axis represents east). Also assume he started driving at t = 0 hrs.

Non-uniform motion • A volunteer will go to the far right hand side of the room. At t=0, start moving left very slowly and gradually speed up to top speed, passing the established origin on the way. • Draw a motion diagram (without coordinate axis), a position vs. time graph, velocity vs. time graph and an acceleration vs time for this motion on the white board. Assume our volunteer is moving with constant acceleration. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley.

Workbook Problem #5 The figure shows the position vs. time graphs for two objects, A and B, that are moving along the same axis. a. At the instant t=1 s, is the speed of A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of B? Explain: b. Do A and B ever have the same speed? If so when?

Workbook Problem #5 - Answer a. At the instant t=1 s, the speed of A is greater than the speed of B. The slope of the line A is steeper than the slope of the line tangent to the point at t = 1 s for B. b. A and B have the same speed when the slope of the line tangent to B is the same as that of A, at about 2. 5 s. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley.

Track Problems • Position s is measured as distance from the origin, (s = 0) along the track. Right is positive, left negative, regardless of up/down • x, v, and a vs. t graphs should be stacked as shown with the same time (horizontal) scale for all three. • Graphs should show qualitatively correct slopes.

Track Problem #36 (end of chapter) • The ball goes down and then up to the left, turns and rolls all the way to the bottom. • Draw position, velocity and acceleration graphs for the ball, all with the same time scale. Assume the ball has enough speed to reach the top. Recall position is measured as distance from the arbitrary origin (far left) therefore two right portions of track will show as the same position on the position graph.

Track Problem #36 - Answer The ball first speeds up in a negative direction, starting from rest. Then it slows down, still in the negative direction, and has a turning point at s = 0. Then it speeds up in the positive direction. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. , publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley.
