1 Velocity‚ Speed‚ Acceleration‚ and Deceleration The goal for today is to better understand what we mean by terms such as velocity‚ speed‚ acceleration‚ and deceleration. Let’s start with an example‚ namely the motion of a ball thrown upward and then acted upon by gravity. A major source of confusion in problems of this sort has to do with blurring the distinction between speed and velocity. The speed s is‚ by definition‚ the magnitude of the velocity vector: s := |v|. Note the contrast: –

Question: 1. Which person(s) changes direction during the time of motion? 2. Which person(s) is/are not moving? 3. Which person has the greatest average speed? 4. Which person(s) has/have a constant‚ positive acceleration value? 5. Which person has the greatest magnitude of acceleration? 1. C 2. none 3. E 4. D reason: lets say initial vel = -100‚ and final velocity = -50 -> a = vf – vi/t = -50 – (-100) = +50/t 5. C (largest change in velocity) EXAMPLE

The car then undergoes a uniform acceleration of -2.5 ms–2 because of a red light and comes to rest. It remains at rest for 45.0 s‚ then accelerates back to a speed of 25 m s – 1 at a rate of +2.5 ms–2. How far behind the train is the car when it reaches the speed of 25 ms–1‚ assuming that

Acceleration of a Ball Bearing on an Inclined Plane Group 3 Block 3 Annie Nguyen‚ Cal Malone‚ Amanda Robotham Purpose of Lab: The purpose of this lab is to understand the motion of a ball bearing on an inclined plane through the graphical relationship between displacement and time. The independent variable in this lab was the displacement change of the ball bearing in meters and the dependent variable was the time in seconds. The control variables in the experiment was the ramp angle

2: SPEED‚ VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION 2.1 Distance and Displacement • Distance is the total length covered by a moving object irrespective of the direction of motion‚ i.e. only the magnitude is of importance. • Displacement is the distance measured in straight line AND in a specific d__________________. Both magnitude and d_________________ are important. Example 1 A car travels 5 km due east and makes a U-turn back to travel a further distance of 3 km. Find (a) the distance covered‚ (b)

A particle confined to motion along the x axis moves with constant acceleration from x = 2.0 m to x = 8.0 m during a 2.5s time interval. The velocity of the particle at x = 8.0 m is 2.8 m/s. What is the acceleration during this time interval? Answer: 0.32 m/s2 6. A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward
