- Describing and Measuring Motion

Calculating Speed• What is an example of a speed that a fast car can go?

• So, how can you calculate speed? If you travel 45 km in 3 hours, what is your average speed?

• Speed = change in distance/change in time

• Instant speed is your speed at a certain time.

• Average speed is your averaged speed for the ENTIRE trial, event, or race.

• Avg. speed = change in distance/change in time

Speed vs. Velocity Experiment• Scenario (do not need to write): Markie is jogging at 6.0 mph, while Suzy is also jogging

at 6.0 mph. However, Markie’s velocity is -6.0 mph while Suzy’s is 6.0 mph. Why are their speeds the same, but their velocities are different?

• Goal: Determine the difference between SPEED and VELOCITY.

• Hypothesis: What do you think is the difference between speed and velocity?

• General Procedure (Handheld procedure done as a group beforehand):

1. Using the velocity-time graph’s (x,y) coordinates at the top of the graph screen, determine each person’s VELOCITY while moving away from the motion sensor. Be sure to check if the velocity is positive or negative.

2. Using the velocity-time graph’s (x,y) coordinates at the top of the graph screen, determine each person’s VELOCITY when moving back toward the motion sensor. Be sure to check if the velocity is positive or negative.

• Results: Organize the VELOCITIES FOR EACH PERSON in a DATA TABLE.

Speed vs. Velocity Experiment• Conclusion (answer in complete sentences):

• Were there any negative velocities? Why is this the case? Is velocity just speed? If not, what else is factored in to velocity? Hint- Think about when your velocity was negative relative to the motion sensor, and keep in mind that speed is NEVER negative.

• Scenario: Markie is jogging at a speed of 6.0 mph, while Suzy is also jogging at a speed of 6.0 mph. However, Markie’s velocity is -6.0 mph while Suzy’s is 6.0 mph. Why are their speeds the same, but their velocities are different?

• Velocity = speed + direction relative to a reference point

• So, Markie was going just as fast as Suzy, but in the opposite direction.

at speeds up to 242 mph.

Calculating Acceleration• As a roller-coaster car starts down a slope, its speed is 4 m/s. But 3

seconds later, at the bottom, its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?

• Plan and Solve

• What quantity are you trying to calculate?

• The average acceleration of the roller-coaster car = __

• What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?

• Acceleration = (Final speed – Initial speed)/Time

• Perform the calculation.

• Acceleration = (22 m/s – 4 m/s)/3 s = 18 m/s/3 s

• Acceleration = 6 m/s2

• The roller-coaster car’s average acceleration is 6 m/s2.

• This is a positive acceleration (speeding up).

Calculating Acceleration• As a roller-coaster car starts down a slope, its speed is 4 m/s. But 3

seconds later, at the bottom, its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?

• Look Back and Check

• Does your answer make sense?

• The answer is reasonable. If the car’s speed increases by 6 m/s each second, its speed will be 10 m/s after 1 second, 16 m/s after 2 seconds, and 22 m/s after 3 seconds.

Calculating Acceleration• Practice Problem

• A certain car brakes from 27 m/s to rest in 9 seconds. Find the car’s average acceleration.

• (0 m/s – 27 m/s ) ÷ 9 s = -27 m/s ÷ 9 s = -3 m/s2

• This is a negative acceleration, which is also called adeceleration (slowing down)

Changing Directions• When riding in a car, have you ever changed directions by going around a curve or

turn in the road at a “high” speed? Did you feel your body push towards the outside of the curve?

• Another example would be riding on those amusement park rides that spin around quickly.

• This is an acceleration too (Centripetal Acceleration = the object you’re in is being pulled towards the middle of the circle while you feel pushed toward the outside of the circle).
