Review of 1-D Kinematics

· Kinematics is the description of how objects move with respect to a defined reference frame. · Displacement is the change in position of an object. · Average speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took; average velocity is the displacement divided by the time. · Instantaneous velocity is the limit as the time becomes infinitesimally short. · Average acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time.

SLIDE 2

Slide 7 / 246

Review of 1-D Kinematics

· Instantaneous acceleration is the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally small.

· There are four equations of motion for constant acceleration, each requires a different set of quantities.

Slide 13 / 246

In physics there is another approach in addition to algebraic which is called graphical analysis. The following formula v = v

0 + at can be interpreted by the

graph. We just need to recall our memory from math classes where we already saw a similar formula y = mx + b.

Motion at Constant Acceleration

Slide 14 / 246

From these two formulas we can find some analogies: Velocity v ⇒ y (depended variable of x), v0 ⇒ b (intersection with vertical axis), t ⇒ x (independent variable), a ⇒ m ( slope of the graph- the ratio between rise and run Δy/Δx). y = m x + b v = a t + v 0 (or v = v 0 + a t)

vx vy v vx vy v vx = v vx vy v vy vx v

Projectile motion can be described by two kinematics equations: horizontal component: vertical component: x = x0 + v0xt + ½axt2 y = y0 + v0yt + ½ayt2 vx = v0x + axt vy = v0y + ayt

Slide 143 / 246

vx vy v vx vy v vx = v vx vy v vy vx v

We can simplify these equations for each problem. For example: x - direction y - direction x0 = 0 y0 = 0 v0x = v0cosθ v0y=v0sinθ ax =0 ay = -g x = v0cosθt vx = v0cosθ y = v0sinθt - 1/2gt2 vy = v0sinθ - gt

Slide 144 / 246

Flying time: y = v0sinθt - ½gt2 and y = 0 0 =v0sinθt - ½gt2 Now we solve for time: t = (2v0sinθ)/g

vx vy v vx vy v vx = v vx vy v vy vx v

SLIDE 25

Slide 145 / 246

vx vy v vx vy v vx = v vx vy v vy vx v

Horizontal range: In order to find the horizontal range we need to substitute flying time in x(t). x = v0cosθt x = v0cosθ2v0sinθ/g x = 2 v02cosθsinθ/g or x = v02sin2θ/g

Slide 146 / 246

vx vy v vx vy v vx = v vx vy v vy vx v

Maximum height: In order to find the maximum height we need to substitute a half of flying time in y(t). y = v0sinθt - ½gt2 y = v0sinθ(2v0sinθ/g/2) - ½g(2v0sinθ/g/2)2 y = v02sin2θ/g - v02sin2θ/2g y = v02sin2θ/2g

initial speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. d. Determine the velocity of the projectile just before it hits the bottom of the cliff.

vf = √(vxf2 + vyf2) vxf = vx0 = 21.2 m/s vyf = vy0 + a t vyf = 21.2 + (-9.8 m/s 2)(8.91) vyf = -66.1 m/s vf = √[ (21.2) 2 +(-66.1)2 ] vf = √(449 + 4369.2) vf = 69.4 m/s

1. A car whose speed is 20 m/s passes a stationary motorcycle which immediately gives chase with a constant acceleration of 2.4 m/s 2. a. How far will the motorcycle travel before catching the car? b. How fast will it be going at that time? c. How does that compare to the car’s velocity? d. Draw the following graphs for the car: x(t), v(t), a(t). e. Draw the following graphs for the motorcycle: x(t), v(t), a(t). f. Write the equation of motion for the car. g. Write the equation of motion for the motorcycle.
