Analysis of a Race • All distances measured from starting line. • Time measured

Analysis of a Race • All distances measured from starting line. • Time measured by a stopwatch from sound of gun. • Initial speed will be zero. • Each runner’s motion will be described by different equations. • Motion is limited to one dimension by the lanes (if a short race on a straight track). Unit 2 - 2

Coordinate System • We will use a set of coordinate axis where x is

Coordinate System • We will use a set of coordinate axis where x is horizontal and y is vertical. • If the motion is on the surface of the earth then x might be the east/west axis and y the north/south axis. • In a 3 -dimensional problem z is the third axis and it is directed out of the page +y -x +x -y Unit 2 - 3

Displacement +y -x x 1 x 2 -y +x Final - Initial Displacement: change

Displacement +y -x x 1 x 2 -y +x Final - Initial Displacement: change in position Displacement is a vector, so it has magnitude and direction. In one dimension we use + or minus sign to indicate direction. Unit 2 - 4

Don’t Confuse Displacement and Distance A person walks 70 m East and 30 m West. Distance traveled = 100 m Displacement = 40 m East or + 40 m Unit 2 - 5

Negative Displacement Jane walks from x 1 = 40 m to x 2 = 20 m. The displacement is: 10 20 30 Distance (m) 40 50 A negative displacement may indicate motion toward the West or something else depending on the situation and the coordinate system chosen. Unit 2 - 6

Displacement is a Vector 10 20 30 Distance (m) 40 50 • • A vector is a quantity with magnitude and direction. In 1 -D motion, the sign indicates the direction. The magnitude of Jane’s displacement is 20 m. The direction is negative which may indicate to the left or the west, etc. depending on the coordinate system. • The red arrow is a graphical representation of the vector. Unit 2 - 7

Average Speed and Velocity Average velocity is a vector, so it has magnitude and direction. In one dimension we use + or minus sign to indicate direction. Unit 2 - 08

Instantaneous Velocity instantaneous velocity is defined as the average velocity over an infinitesimally short

Instantaneous Velocity instantaneous velocity is defined as the average velocity over an infinitesimally short time interval. • When you are driving, the speedometer reading is the instantaneous speed which when combined with the direction gives the instantaneous velocity. • The average velocity is the total distance over the total time. Unit 2 -09

Acceleration Average Acceleration: change in velocity divided by the time taken to make this

Example 2 -1. A car travels at constant speed for 95. 0 m for 5. 00 seconds. The driver then applies the brakes and the car stops in 6. 00 seconds. What is the car’s average acceleration during the time it is breaking? (Assume the car travels in a straight line directly north). This is a two part problem. In the first part, we use the first 5. 00 seconds to find the velocity. Since the car travels in a straight line, this is one dimensional motion and the speed is the magnitude of the velocity. The + sign indicates that the velocity is directed to the north. The second part, in 5. 00 seconds, the velocity of the car changes from 19. 0 m/s to zero. The + sign indicates that the velocity is directed to the north. Unit 2 - 12

Example 2 -2. A car traveling at 15. 0 m/s slows down to 5.

Example 2 -2. A car traveling at 15. 0 m/s slows down to 5. 0 m/s in 5. 0 seconds. Calculate the car’s acceleration. Coordinate System: + is to the right The negative answer indicates that the acceleration is to the left, not that it is deceleration. It is a case of deceleration but we know that because the acceleration is in the opposite direction from the velocity. . For example, suppose the car were moving to the left in this coordinate system. Then the acceleration would be positive, but it would still be deceleration. Unit 2 - 13
