  2. PHYSICS 231INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS I Lecturer: Carl Schmidt (Sec. 001) schmidt@pa.msu.edu (517) 355-9200, ext. 2128 Office Hours: Friday 1-2:30 pm in 1248 BPS or by appointment

  3. Main points of last lecture • SI units: • Mass: kilograms (kg) • Length: meters (m) • Time: seconds (s) • Unit conversion • Dimensional analysis / Unit consistency • Scientific Notation and Significant figures • Displacement: Dx = xf-xi • Average Velocity:

  4. Graphical Representation of Average Velocity Between A and D , v is slope of blue line

  5. Instantaneous velocity Let time interval approach zero • Defined for every instance in time • Equals average velocity if v = constant • SPEED is absolute value of velocity

  6. Graphical Representation of Average Velocity Between A and D , v is slope of blue line

  7. x t Graphical Representation of Instantaneous Velocity = Slope of tangent at that point

  8. Graphical Representation of Instantaneous Velocity v(t=3.0) is slope of tangent (green line)

  9. Example 2.2a The instantaneous velocityis zero at ___ A) a B) b & d C) c & e

  10. Example 2.2b The instantaneous velocity is negative at _____ A) a B) b C) c D) d E) e

  11. Example 2.2c The average velocity is zero in the interval _____ A) a-cB) b-dC) c-dD) c-e E) d-e

  12. Example 2.2d A) a-b B) a-cC) c-eD) d-e The average velocity is negative in the interval(s)_________

  13. SPEED • Speed is |v| and is always positive • Average speed is sum over |x| elements divided by elapsed time

  14. 8 D 6 4 E B 2 C A 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Example 2.3 x (m) a) What is the average velocity between B and E? b) What is the average speed between B and E? t (s) a) 0.2 m/s b) 1.2 m/s

  15. Acceleration The rate of change of the velocity Average acceleration: measured over finite time interval Instantaneous acceleration: measured over infinitesimal interval, Dt -> 0

  16. Accelerometer Demo

  17. Example 2.4 A speed boat starts from rest and reaches 3.2 m/s in 2 s. What is its average acceleration? Assuming acceleration is constant, what is its velocity after 5 s? a = 16 m/s2 vf = v0+at = 8 m/s

  18. Graphical Description of Acceleration Acceleration is slope of tangent line in v vs. t graph

  19. a < 0 a > 0 Graphical Description of Acceleration a is positive/negativewhen v vs. t is rising/fallingor when x vs t curves upwards/downwards

  20. e b c d a Example 2.5a A) a-c B) c-d C) c-e D) d-e At which segment(s) is the acceleration negative?

  21. e b c d a Example 2.5b A) none of the below B) b C) c D) d E) e At which point(s) does the acceleration equal zero?

  22. Constant Acceleration • Recall • v vs. t is a straight line • Also • Combining: • x vs. t is a parabola

  23. Example 2.6 A speed boat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 1.6 m/s2. How far does it go after 5 s? x = 20 m

  24. Solving Problems with Eq.s of Motion 5 variables: x, t, v0, vf, a 3 equations (so far): Must be 2 more equations

  25. Other Forms of Eq.s of Motion Substitute to eliminate v0

  26. Other Forms of Eq.s of Motion Substitute to eliminate t

  27. Final List of 1-d Equations Which equation to use?Each has 4 of the 5 variables:Dx, t, v0, v & a Ask yourself “Which variable am I not given and not interested in?” If that variable is t, use Eq. (5).

  28. Example 2.7 Crash Houlihan speeds down the interstate at 44 m/s (100 mph), when she slams on the brakes and slides into a concrete barrier. The police measure skid marks to be 60 m long, and estimate that her Mercedes would decelerate at 11 m/s2 while skidding. What was Crash’s speed when she hit the barrier? 25 m/s

  29. Free Fall • Special case of constant acceleration: • Objects near Earth’s surface falling under the influence of gravity (neglecting air resistance) • Acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 • Use the usual equations with (with convention up is +)

  30. Galileo • Father was a musician, experimented with music • Initially was a professor teaching pre-meds • Developed telescope ~ 1610: Milky Way = stars Moons of Jupiter Phases of Venus… • Measured g • Quantified mechanics • In 1632, published Dialogue concerning the two greatest world systems • Was found guilty of heresy
