    Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem: 1) Convert 36 km/h to m/s: 36 km/h = 10 m/s 2) Use the acceleration equation: vf = vi + at vf = final velocity vi = initial velocity (which is 0 m/s) a = acceleration (given as 0.016 m/s2) t = time 3) Plug in the values: 10 m/s = 0 m/s + 0.016 m/s2 * t 10 m/s = 0.016 m/s2 * t t = 10 m/s / 0.016 m/s2 t = 625 s 4)

    Let’s Recall
    •What is Mechanics?

    •What are the three


    subdivision of mechanics?
    Both Mr Rabbit and Mr Tortoise took the same round trip, but
    Mr Rabbit slept & returned later.
    Who runs faster?

    No, I travelled
    Me, as I spent
    less time on the longer distance every
    trip. minute.

    Speed,
    Velocity and
    Acceleration
    MOTION
    Learning Objectives

    • Describe the motion of an object


    • Differentiate distance from displacement;
    speed from velocity; average speed from
    instantaneous speed
    • Calculate the speed/velocity and acceleration
    of a moving body.
    Motion
    •a change in position
    relative to a frame of
    reference
    Frames of Reference
    • The object or point from which
    movement is determined
    • Movement is relative to an
    object that appears stationary
    • Earth is the most common
    frame of reference
    Is the passenger
    moving or not
    moving?
    Keep in Mind
    • All motion is relative to a reference.
    • This means that we describe motion of an object
    relative to some other object
    • In our environment, the reference for motion is the
    earth’s surface, and speeds are measured relative to
    the earth
    • The earth moves at 107,000 km/h relative to the sun
    What are the quantities
    used to describe the
    motion of an object?
    Distance
    Displacement
    Speed
    Velocity
    Acceleration
    Linear Motion
    • Motion is easy to recognize but can be hard to describe
    • The following quantities are used to describe motion:
    speed, velocity and acceleration
    • Each of these is a rate. A rate is a quantity divided by
    time.
    • Motion along a straight line is sometimes called linear
    motion.
    Distance and
    Displacement
    Distance and Displacement
    • Distance is ( a scalar) the total path
    length traversed by an object in
    moving from one point to another.
    • Displacement ( a vector) is the
    separation of an object from a
    reference point.
    Velocity and Speed
    • Speed refers to how quickly an object
    moves (a scalar quantity).
    • Velocity is defined as speed in a given
    direction or rate of change of position
    (displacement over time). v = d/t
    Velocity and Speed
    • Velocity refers to both the speed and direction
    of motion of an object (a vector quantity).
    • Negative velocity means the object is moving
    in the opposite direction
    • Motion at constant velocity means that both
    the speed and direction of an object do not
    change.
    Average Speed
    • Average speed is the average of all
    instantaneous speeds; found simply by a total
    distance/total time ratio
    • The average speed of a trip:

    total distance vi + vf
    average speed  V = _________
    elapsed time
    2
    Instantaneous Speed
    • Instantaneous speed is speed at any instant in time.
    • A speedometer measures speed in ‘real time’ (the
    instantaneous speed).
    Sample Problems
    1. Luna watches a thunderstorm from her window. She
    sees the flash of lightning bolt and begins counting
    the seconds until she hears the clap of thunder 5.0
    seconds later. Assume that the speed of sound in air
    is 340 m/s and the light was seen instantaneously.
    How far away was the lightning bolt?
    2. How far does Bob run if he maintains an average
    velocity of 3 m/s for 10 s?
    Sample Problems
    • 3. A ball rolls down a ramp for 15 seconds.  If the initial
    velocity of the ball was 0.8 m/sec and the final velocity was
    7 m/sec, what was the average velocity of the ball ?
    4. A car starts from rest and attains a speed of 50m/s in 15
    seconds. How far has the car traveled during 15s?
    5. Manila is 155km from a town in Batangas if it takes a car 2
    hours and 20 min to travel from manila to the town. What is
    the total average speed of the car in m/s?
    Sample Problem
    • You are attending a seminar in
    Cabanatuan City. Talavera is 15 km away
    from Talavera. If it takes 35 minutes to
    drive the car from Talavera to
    Cabanatuan, at what speed in km/h you
    should be driving?
    •What happens when the
    when the velocity in either
    magnitude ( speed) or
    direction of a moving
    object change?
    Acceleration
    • For its velocity to change, an object must accelerate.

    • An object accelerates whenever its speed or direction or both


    change.
    • Acceleration may be positive (increasing speed) or negative
    (decreasing speed).
    • Negative acceleration is known as deceleration.

    • Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the velocity changes:


    a = Dv/t
    vf - vi
    change of velocity
    acceleration  a = _________
    time interval t
    Sample Problems
    1.A car starts from rest and attains a speed of 50 m/s in 15
    seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
    2. The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit
    around the earth. The telescope goes from being
    stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700 m/s in 25
    seconds. What is the acceleration of
    the satellite?
    3. A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12 m/sec.  After 36 seconds,
    it comes to a stop.  What is the acceleration of the ball?
    Sample Problems
    4. Michael is
    driving his sports car at 30 m/s when
    he sees a dog on the road ahead. He slams on
    the brakes and comes to a stop in 3.0 seconds.
    What was the acceleration of Michael’s car?
    5. A car going 50mph accelerates to pass a truck.
    Five seconds later the car is going 80mph.
    Calculate the acceleration of the car in m/s.
    Do It Yourself
    •A bicycle accelerates from
    rest at 0.016 m/s2. How
    long did it take the bicycle to
    acquire a speed of 36 km/h?
