Velocity…is it changing? Yes or no?

Velocity…is it changing? Yes or no?

Velocity → Velocity=Δdisplacement = Δx Time t = x-x₀ t-t₀ Unit: m/s

Velocity → Velocity=Δdisplacement = Δx Time t = x-x₀ t-t₀ Unit: m/s

Velocity An airplane passenger took 5 seconds to move − 4 meters, (where the

Velocity An airplane passenger took 5 seconds to move − 4 meters, (where the negative sign indicates that displacement is toward the back of the plane. ) His average velocity can be written as: vavg=Δx/t =− 4 m/5 s =− 0. 8 sm

2 types of velocity 1) Constant What would you have to have a constant

2 types of velocity 1) Constant What would you have to have a constant velocity? Constant Speed and Constant Direction Would that be a straight line or a curved path?

2 types of velocity 2) Changing What would you have to have a changing

2 types of velocity 2) Changing What would you have to have a changing velocity? Either the speed and/or direction must change

Review ● Change the following speeds to velocity a) 22. 7 m/s b) 45

Review ● Change the following speeds to velocity a) 22. 7 m/s b) 45 mph What is the formula for velocity? v= Δx/Δt What would -3 m/12 s tell you? You could be going opposite of positive (or the other direction from which you started)backing up

If the slope of a displacement-time graph gives us _____. (v= Δx/t) What would

If the slope of a displacement-time graph gives us _____. (v= Δx/t) What would the slope of a velocity-time graph give us? ? = v/t Acceleration

Sometimes we are interested in how fast the velocity of an object is changing

Sometimes we are interested in how fast the velocity of an object is changing Acceleration Unit: m/s² or m/s S Formula: a=Δv/t = v-v₀/t

The speed-time graph shows how the speed of a bus changes during part of

The speed-time graph shows how the speed of a bus changes during part of a journey.

a) OA - the speed of the bus is changing. Therefore, according to the

a) OA - the speed of the bus is changing. Therefore, according to the definition, the bus has an acceleration. AB - the speed does not change. The bus has a constant speed of. BC - the bus is slowing down. Its speed is changing. Therefore, according to the definition, the bus has an acceleration. CD - The bus is stationary. DE - the speed of the bus is changing. The bus has an acceleration. EF - the speed does not change. The bus has a constant speed.
