Study Notes
Speed, Velocity and Acceleration
- Velocity is calculated by dividing distance by time. For example, a vehicle traveling 400 miles over 7.2 hours has a velocity of 56 miles per hour.
- Distance can be calculated by multiplying velocity and time. For example, traveling at 99 miles per hour for 3.7 hours results in a distance of 360 miles.
- Time can be calculated by dividing distance by velocity. For example, a semi-truck traveling 387 miles at 50 miles per hour takes 7.74 hours.
- Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by time. For example, a motorcycle accelerating from 80 m/s to 100 m/s over 3 seconds experiences an acceleration of 6.7 m/s².
Newton's Laws of Motion
- Newton's 1st Law of Motion: An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. Basically, more mass means the object is resistant to change in motion, meaning it will accelerate slower with the same force.
- Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when you push off the ground to walk, you are also pushing the Earth forward, although the Earth's immense mass prevents any noticeable motion.
Gravity and Motion
- Earth's gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s².
- A rolling object travels faster the further away it gets from the base of a ramp because the ramp becomes taller, which allows it to gain momentum and accelerate further.
- Air resistance is assumed to be insignificant in this idealized scenario.
Data Analysis of Rolling Objects
- Bowling balls, golf balls and steel balls were observed rolling down a ramp at varying distances.
- Bowling balls and golf balls slowed down as the distance from the base of the ramp increased.
- Steel balls initially gained speed as they rolled down the ramp, but eventually slowed down as they continued to roll.
- The data suggests that different objects react differently to friction and gravity, especially over varying distances.
