Scalar versus Vector Quantities
Scalar Quantities
– Magnitude (size)
– “55 mph”
Vector Quantities
– Magnitude (size)
– Direction
– “55 mph, North”
Direction Matters
Example One

Dx = +2 m
Example Two

Speed
Two Possible Situations for Everything:
1. Object moves at a constant speed.
2. Object is being “speeded up” or “slowed
down” by some force (acceleration)
“What about an object that is just sitting there?”
Speed
Average Speed = distance (in meters)
time (in seconds)
vave =
Dx
Dt
Speed: Example One
During a 3.00 second time interval, a runner’s
position changes from x1 = 50.0 m to x2=30.5
m. What was her average speed?
(Ans: -6.50 m/s)
Speed: Example Two
A bicycle has an average speed of
5miles/hr. How far did it go in two hours?
Speed: Example Three
How long would it take a car traveling 72
km/hr to travel 60 km?
Speed: Example Four
A car is driven at an average speed of 100.0
km/hr for two hours, then driven at an
average speed of 50.0 km/hr for the next
hour. What was the average speed for the
three-hour trip? (Ans: 83.3 km/hr)
Since the speed changed, we have to address
each part of the trip separately.
1. To find the distance for the first two hours,
we use:
x=vt
x= 100km/hr X 2 hr = 200 km
2. To find the distance for the last hour, we
use the same process:
x= 50km/hr X 1 hr = 50 km
3. To find the average velocity, we will divide
the total distance by the time:
v=x/t = 250 km /3 hr = 83.3 km/hr
Velocity: Example 5
A plane flies 300.0 miles east in 2.00 hours.
The plane then turns around and flies west
for 100.0 miles in 1.00 hour.
a) Calculate total distance, total time, and
average speed. (133 mph)
b) Calculate the average velocity. (67.0 mph)
Average vs. Instantaneous Speed
Average Speed
averaged for an entire trip
Instantaneous Speed
Speed at an infinitely short interval
Constant velocity
Changing velocity
Acceleration
Acceleration – A change in velocity
– Speed (speeding up or slowing down)
Speeding up or
slowing down
– Direction (turning a bicycle)
Acceleration
• Formula
a = Dv
=
Dt
vfinal – vinitial
time
• Units = m/s2
• Acceleration can be negative (slowing down,
decelerating)
Acceleration: Example 1
What is the acceleration of a bicycle that
moves from rest to 5 m/s in 3 seconds?
Acceleration: Example 2
Superman is flying through space and
slows down from 24,000 m/s to 20,000 m/s
in 5 seconds. What is his acceleration?
What is unusual about this number?
Acceleration: Example 3
A car starts from a complete stop at a
stoplight and accelerates at 5 m/s2 for 10
seconds. What is its’ final velocity?
(Ans = 50 m/s)
Acceleration: Example 4
A car moving at 30 m/s decelerates at
–3.0 m/s2. How long will it take for it to
come to a complete stop?
(ANS: t = 10 seconds)
Kinematic Equations
(Constant acceleration only)
a = v – vo
t
x = xo + vot + ½ at2
Timeindependent
a = v 2 - v o2
2x
v = v + vo

Kinematics: Example 1
An airplane takes off at 27.8 m/s and can
accelerate at 2.00 m/s2. How long must the
runway be if the plane is to take off safely?
(Ans: 193 m)
Kinematics: Example 2
How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0 m
intersection, from rest, if it accelerates at
2.00 m/s2?
(Ans: 5.48 s)
Warm Up
• Determine the final velocity and time for the
Hot Wheels car as it goes down the track.
• Calculate acceleration.
• Calculate how far the car would travel on the
level in 10 seconds.
• Would it really travel this far?
Kinematics: Example 3
A pitcher throws a baseball at 44 m/s. What is
the acceleration if the ball travels through 3.5
m from the start of the pitch to the release?
(Ans: 280 m/s2)
Kinematics: Example 4
You wish to design an airbag that can protect a
driver from a head-on collision at 100 km/h.
Assume the car crumples on impact a
distance of 1.00 m.
a) What is the driver’s acceleration?
b) How fast does the airbag need to act?
(time)
Kinematics: Example 5
A driver is moving at 28 m/s. It takes him 0.50
seconds to react and slam on the brakes. At
that time, the brakes provide an acceleration
of –6.0 m/s2. Calculate the total stopping
distance.
(Ans: 79 m)
Warm Up
A horse starts from rest and can reach a speed
of 4.5 m/s in 5 seconds.
a) Calculate the average speed of the horse.
(2.25 m/s)
b) Calculate the acceleration of the horse. (0.9
m/s2)
c) Calculate the distance the horse will travel
in 35 seconds, assuming the horse keeps
accelerating. (551 m)

Falling Objects

Heavier object fall faster than lighter ones
Galileo (1600’s, Renaissance)
All objects fall at the same rate (near the
surface of the Earth, in a vacuum)

surface of the earth
g = 9.80 m/s2
Usually set the top of the drop at zero
yo = 0
Gravity
Why don’t people fall off the earth at the
South Pole?
Gravity
Do things accelerate forever?
• Not in an atmosphere.
• Air drag causes “terminal
velocity”
• Otherwise raindrops would
hit us with deadly speed.
• Terminal velocity

Fastest a human can drop in
air
120 miles/hr (about 60 m/s).
Gravity: Freefall
• Freefall – falling only under the acceleration
of gravity
• Object was dropped, not thrown down
y = yo + vot + ½ at2
Simplifies to:
y = ½ at2
