Key Concepts: Physics 1 D Motion • Displacement, Velocity, & Acceleration – Know the definitions of these terms – Know how they are related • Motion with Constant Acceleration – Solve for constant accel. get Kinematic Eqs. – Use the Kinematic Eqs. to solve problems • Free Fall • Race Car

What is constant acceleration? • Acceleration = constant (0 or some #) • Velocity

What is constant acceleration? • Acceleration = constant (0 or some #) • Velocity can be approximated as linear • How many of these things have a=const? • Examples – Trains of a ≠ constant? – • People Bee flying – • Planes Dust Particle in the wind – Cheetahs – Automobiles

Free Fall

Free Fall

Free Fall – Using the Equations • Constant acceleration is due to gravity •

Free Fall – Using the Equations • Constant acceleration is due to gravity • Drop a ball from 3 m, how long does it take to hit the ground?

Free Fall – What does it imply? http: //panda. unm. edu/demos • Demo: Falling

Free Fall – What does it imply? http: //panda. unm. edu/demos • Demo: Falling Balls • Demo: Feather vs. Penny

Free Fall – What does it imply? • Acceleration of any size or mass

Free Fall – What does it imply? • Acceleration of any size or mass object should be the same – Penny should fall at the same rate as feather – This isn’t true due to air resistance – In vacuum it is true!

Lingenfelter Corvette • Can it really do 0 to 60 mph in 1. 97

Lingenfelter Corvette • Can it really do 0 to 60 mph in 1. 97 s? • Let’s calculate some #’s to see if it is reasonable http: //Z 06 -corvette. com

Lingenfelter – 0 to 60 mph in 1. 97 s

Lingenfelter – 0 to 60 mph in 1. 97 s

Stock Car – 0 to 333. 2 mph in ¼ mile

Stock Car – 0 to 333. 2 mph in ¼ mile

C 6 Corvette – 0 to 60 mph in 4. 2 s

C 6 Corvette – 0 to 60 mph in 4. 2 s

Is it true? • Stock Car – 220, 000 miles/hr 2 • Lingenfelter Corvette

Is it true? • Stock Car – 220, 000 miles/hr 2 • Lingenfelter Corvette – 110, 000 miles/hr 2 • C 6 Corvette – 51, 000 miles/hr 2 • Yes, let’s look at some data from youtube…

Summary • Most physical objects experience constant acceleration • Use Kinematic equations of Motion
