Chapter 12 What is motion?

Describing Motion

Point of reference: An object or group of objects that is considered to be stationary

Point of Reference

From the bus driver’s perspective, what is happening to the man?

From the man standing outside’s perspective, what is happening to the bus?

From this driver’s perspective, is he standing still, moving forward or backwards?

Point of Reference

The buildings in front of him?What about the car in his rear view mirror?

12.1 Measuring Motion

Distance – the total length that an object has travelled.

Displacement – the distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point. Path taken is not important.


Displacement

How do we accurately communicate distance and displacement?


A scalar is a quantity that can be completely described by one value: the magnitude (size).


A vector has both distance and direction.

If you walk five meters east, your displacement can be represented by a 5 cm arrow pointing to the east.


Both Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Tortoise took the same round trip, but Mr. Rabbit slept & returned later.


Comment on their argument.

Me, as I spent less time on the

trip.

No, I travelled longer distance every

minute.

Who runs faster?


How can we describe how fast an object moves?

E.g. A car on Jal el Dib Highway travels 90 km in 1 hour.

We say that the car travels at a speed of 90 km/h.

Speed

Speed is a measure of how fast something moves.

Speed = distance travelled per unit of timeSpeed = distance travelled per unit of timeSI unit: m/s or km/h (for long distances)

Q1 The world record...

= 9.53 m/s or 34.3 km/h

( 100 m )Average speed =

10.49 s

The world record of women 100-m race is 10.49 s.

What is the average speed?

(9.53 m/s x 3600 s/h = 34308 m/h = 34.3 km/h )

A man walks from A to B at 1 km/h

A B1 km/h

2 km/h

and returns at 2 km/h.

A subway driver’s concern is speed only.

Speed with direction

A pilot’s concern is velocity (direction & speed).

speed = 90 km h–1

Velocity

Average velocity

Average velocity =overall distance

total time of travel

Direction of velocity = direction of overall distance

Velocity

Instantaneous velocity

The velocity at any instant is called instantaneous velocity.

If a car moves at a constant velocity...

… its average and instantaneous velocities have the same value.

Velocity

So Who is Faster?

Rabbit – instantaneous velocity at the

beginning and end of the race

Tortoise – average velocity over the

whole race

Answer? They BOTH are!

Acceleration

When a car moves faster and faster, its speed is increasing (velocity changed).

When a car moves slower and slower,its speed is decreasing (velocity changed).

Acceleration

When a car changes direction, its velocity changes too.

Acceleration

Acceleration measures the change in velocity

Acceleration = velocity per unit time
