Study Notes
Speed vs. Velocity
- Coordinate System: Rightward is the positive direction.
-
Sid the Sloth: Ran 80 meters right and 162 meters left in 3 minutes.
- Average velocity (m/s): Calculate displacement and time.
- Average speed (m/s): Calculate total distance and time.
-
Jonah: Walked 25 meters to his truck, then back to pick up coffee in 240 seconds.
- Average velocity (over 240 seconds): Calculate total displacement and time.
- Average speed (over 240 seconds): Calculate total distance and time.
-
Armani: Walked 30 meters to car, then drove 76 meters in 145 seconds.
- Average velocity (over 145 seconds): Calculate total displacement and time.
- Average speed (over 145 seconds): Calculate total distance and time.
Acceleration
-
Runner: Increased speed from 5 m/s to 9 m/s in 4 seconds.
- Acceleration (m/s²): Calculate change in velocity and time.
-
Car: Slowed from 20 m/s to 5 m/s in 2 seconds.
- Acceleration (m/s²): Calculate change in velocity and time.
-
Dropped Ball: Velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.
- Acceleration (m/s²): Calculate acceleration of dropped object.
Momentum
-
Beach Ball: Rolling at 0.78 m/s with momentum of 0.22 kg⋅m/s.
- Mass (kg): Momentum = mass * velocity.
-
Truck: 6,000 kg truck traveling at 13.0 m/s.
- Momentum (kg⋅m/s): Momentum = mass * velocity.
Additional Concepts
- Weight (Earth, Mars, Venus): Calculations based on mass (and acceleration due to gravity) for a physical science test book (mass = 2.2 kg, Earth (g = 9.8 m/s²), Mars (g = 3.7 m/s²), Venus (g = not given)).
-
Force (cart): Shoving a 18 kg cart with groceries down an aisle at an acceleration of 3 m/s².
- Force (N): Calculate force using mass and acceleration.
- Force (Paper Cup): Wind pushing a paper cup across sand, accelerating at 25 m/s²; the force exerted by the wind = 5N. Calculate weight of the cup
-
Acceleration (Friend on Swing): Pushing a 50 kg friend on a swing with 10 N force
- Acceleration (m/s²): Calculate acceleration using force and mass.
- Momentum Calculator: Calculating momentum given various circumstances
