DESCRIBING MOTION 0 x speed = distance traveled/time = (x 2 – x 1)/(t 2 – t 1) = Dx/Dt

EXAMPLE Speed of moon around Earth v = distance/time = 2 p. R/T R = 240, 000 mi T = 27. 3 days v = (6. 28*2. 4*105)/(27. 3*24) = 2300 mph

RELATIVE SPEED v. MW v. WE v. ME = v. MW + v. WE
EXAMPLE: FLEA ON DOG ON TRAIN A train travels east with a speed v. TE = 20 km/hr A dog walks down the aisle eastward with speed v. DT = 2 km/hr A flea walks rumpward on the dog’s back with speed v. FD = 0. 01 km/hr What is the speed of the flea with respect to the Earth? v. FE = v. FD + v. DT + v. TE = -0. 01 + 20 = 21. 99 km/hr

IMPORTANT EXAMPLE: UNIFORM ACCELERATION v t a = constant acceleration = v/t (m/s 2, mi/hr 2)
HOW FAR DOES IT GO? v at t Distance equals area under speed graph regardless of its shape Area = x = ½(base)(height) = ½(t)(at) = 1/2 at 2
DISTANCE-TIME GRAPH FOR UNIFORM ACCELERATION x t
EXAMPLE: SUPERTANKER Accelerates from 0 to 40 mph in 1 hour. so a = 40 mi/hr 2 Then x = ½(40)(1) = 20 miles If it continues for 2 hours, then x = ½(40)(4) = 80 miles
HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL MOTION Aristotle Horizontal motion: v = k. F where F = applied force Vertical motion: v = k. W where W = body’s weight
