 MOTION IN ONE DIMENSION:

Lesson/topic: THIRD QUARTER

1. You can describe the motion of an object by its

position

speed

direction

acceleration

2. Motion Is …..
a. An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing.
b. Even things that appear to be at rest move. When we describe the motion of one object with
respect to another, we say that the object is moving relative to the other object.
c. A book that is at rest, relative to the table it lies on, is moving at about 30 kilometers per second
relative to the sun. The book moves even faster relative to the center of our galaxy.
d. Although you may be at rest relative to Earth’s surface, you’re moving about 100,000 km/h
relative to the sun.

How can you tell if an object is moving?

1. You can calculate the speed of an object by dividing the distance covered by time.
2. Speed is how fast an object is moving.
3. The distance covered and the time it takes.

Page 1

Analyze and solve:

 1. If a cheetah covers 50 meters in a time of 2 seconds, its speed is 25 m/s.
If a cheetah can maintain a constant speed of 25 m/s, it will cover 25 meters every second. At
this rate, how far will it travel in 10 seconds? In 1 minute?

Instantaneous Speed

A car does not always move at the same speed. You can tell the speed of the car at any instant by
looking at the car’s speedometer. The speed at any instant is called the instantaneous speed.

The speedometer gives readings of instantaneous speed in both mi/h and km/h.

The speedometer in every car also has an odometer that records the distance traveled.
Problem: 2. If the odometer reads zero at the beginning of a trip and 35 km a half hour later,
what is the average speed? (35km. /0.5 =_____ ____)

Average Speed In a trip by car, the car will certainly not travel at the same speed all during the
trip. The driver cares about the average speed for the trip as a whole. The average speed is the
total distance covered divided by the time.

1. Average speed can be calculated easily:

For example, a distance of 240 kilometers during a time of 4 hours is an average speed of 60
km/h:

Page 2
 1. If we know average speed and travel time, the distance traveled is easy to find. total distance
covered = average speed × travel time

3. If your average speed is 80 kilometers per hour on a 4-hour trip, then you cover a
total distance of _______ kilometers.

2. Speed is a description of how fast an object moves;

3. Velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves.

Velocity:
In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction.

* When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed. Speed is a scalar quantity.
*When we say a car moves at 60 km/h to the north, we are specifying its velocity.
*A quantity such as velocity that specifies direction as well as magnitude is called a vector
quantity.
*Velocity, like force, is a vector quantity.

Constant Velocity

Constant speed means steady speed.

Something with constant speed doesn’t speed up or slow down.

Constant velocity means both constant speed and constant direction.

Constant direction is a straight line, so constant velocity means motion in a straight line at constant
speed

Changing Velocity

If either the speed or the direction (or both) is changing, then the velocity is changing.

Constant speed and constant velocity are not the same.

A body may move at constant speed along a curved path but it does not move with constant velocity,
because its direction is changing every instant.
Page 3

The car on the circular track may have a constant speed but not a constant velocity, because its
direction of motion is
changing every instant.

The speedometer of a car moving northward reads 60 km/h. It passes another car that travels
southward at 60 km/h. Do both cars have the same speed? Do they have the same velocity?

Both cars have the same speed, but they have opposite velocities because they are moving in opposite directions .
Acceleration:
1. You can calculate the acceleration of an object by dividing the change in its velocity by time.
2. We can change the state of motion of object by changing its speed, direction of motion, or both.
3. Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity is changing.
4. The term acceleration applies to decreases as well as increases in speed.
 5. The brakes of a car can produce large retarding accelerations, that is, they can produce a large
decrease per second in the speed.

6. This is often called deceleration.

Page 4
THINGS TO REMEMBER:

ACCELERATION IS: Change in Direction

Acceleration also applies to changes in direction.

It is

important to distinguish between speed and velocity.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, rather than speed.

Acceleration, like velocity, is a vector quantity because it is directional.

Accelerate in the direction of velocity–speed up; Accelerate against velocity–slow down; Accelerate at
an angle to velocity–change direction

Problem analysis: solve mentally

1. Suppose a car moving in a straight line steadily increases its speed each second, first from 35 to
40 km/h,
then from
40 to 45
km/h,
then from
45 to 50
km/h.
What is
its

acceleration?

2. In 5 seconds a car moving in a straight line increases its speed from 50 km/h to 65 km/h, while a
truck goes from rest to 15 km/h in a straight line. Which undergoes greater acceleration? What
is the acceleration of each vehicle?

ENRICHMENT: GRAPHING MOTION

REVIEW:
• Motion is a change in position measured by distance and time.
• Speed tells us the rate at which an object moves.
• Velocity tells the speed and direction of a moving object.
• Acceleration tells us the rate speed or direction changes.

Motion Graphs:
Describing the motion of an object is occasionally hard to do with words.
Sometimes graphs help make motion easier to picture, and therefore understand.

DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS
Plotting distance against time can tell you a lot about motion. Let's look at the axes:

Time is always plotted on the X-axis (bottom

of the graph). The further to the right on the
axis, the longer the time from the start.

Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (side of the

graph). The higher up the graph, the further
from the start.

If an object is not moving, a horizontal line is shown on a distance-time graph.

Time is increasing to the right, but its distance does not

change. It is not moving. We say it is At Rest.

If an object is moving at a constant speed, it means it has the same increase in distance in a given time:

Page 6
 Time is increasing to the right, and distance is
increasing constantly with time. The object moves at
a constant speed.

Constant speed is shown by straight

lines on a graph.

Let’s look at two moving objects:

Both of the lines in the graph show that each object moved the same distance, but the steeper dashed
line got there before the other one:

A steeper line indicates a larger distance moved

in a given time. In other words, higher
speed.

Both lines are straight, so both speeds are

constant.

Graphs that show acceleration look different from those that show constant speed.

The line on this graph is curving upwards. This shows an

increase in speed, since the line is getting steeper:

In other words, in a given time, the distance the object

moves is change (getting larger). It is accelerating.

Summary: A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has moved with time.

• The steeper the graph, the faster the motion.

• A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position - it is not moving, it is at rest.
• A downward sloping line means the object is returning to the start.
