What equations to describe motion have you come across before?

What do we understand about 'acceleration'?

There are three equations which together are known as the equations of motion.
![Page 8: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
when acceleration is constant (uniform)
and
motion is in a straight line
![Page 9: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
You need to be able to: select the correct formula identify symbols and units carry out calculations to solve
the problems of real-life motion.
![Page 10: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You need to be able to:
carry out experiments to verify the equations of motion
![Page 11: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To do this fully, you might find it an interesting challenge to…
understand where the equations come from.
![Page 12: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How can we determine the displacement of the object?
![Page 15: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Area under the graph = 1500 + 4500 = 6000 m

What do we need to think about when using the equations of motion?
![Page 24: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What do the following quantities have in common?
velocity displacement
acceleration
![Page 25: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The sign convention
When dealing with vector quantities we
must have both magnitude and
direction.
When dealing with one-dimensional
kinematics (ie motion in straight lines) we
use + and – to indicate travel in opposite
directions.
![Page 26: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The sign convention
Normally we use the following convention:
positive + negative –
positive + negative –
![Page 27: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The sign conventionNormally we use the following convention
positive + negative –
positive + negative –
Take care – in some questions the sign convention is reversed
![Page 28: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Two tennis ballsdropped from a height
Was your initial prediction that the two identical tennis balls dropped from the same height would hit the ground at exactly the same time?
![Page 62: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Two tennis ballsdropped from a height
What did you think when you discovered that one ball had a significantly greater mass than the other?
What do you think should have happened?What did you observe?
![Page 63: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
The mass does not matter!
Both balls will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height.
If you do not believe this, tracker.jar will allow you to analyse the motion.

Suppose we can
switch off air
resistance.
Which will hit
the ground first?
The elephant and the feather in free-fall
![Page 67: In this section we will… …develop our understanding of using numbers and equations to describe motion](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062318/5515e926550346d46f8b5075/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The force of gravity near
the Earth’s surface gives
all objects the same
acceleration.
So why doesn’t the
feather reach the ground
at the same time as the
elephant?
The elephant and the feather with air resistance

We commonly use
a negative to
indicate
downward motion.

A tennis ball dropped from a height and allowed
to bounce
Consider the ball being dropped, allowed to bounce and return to its original height.
Sketch your predictions for speed–time, velocity–time and acceleration–time graphs.

When dropped, the ball gains speed in the negative direction hence the –ve sign for acceleration.
The ball then loses speed in the positive direction, coming to rest at the original height.
Does this happen in real life? Explain!
