1 Describing Motion
• You don't always need to see something move to know that motion has taken place.
• A reference point is needed to determine the position of an object.
Motion and Position
• Motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
• The motion of an object depends on the reference point that is chosen.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• An important part of describing the motion of an object is to describe how far it has moved, which is distance.
• The SI unit of length or distance is the meter (m). Longer distances are measured in kilometers (km).
Distance
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
Distance
• Shorter distances are measured in centimeters (cm).
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• The runner travels 50 m in the original direction (north) plus 30 m in the opposite direction (south), so the total distance she ran is 80 m.
Displacement
• Suppose a runner jogs to the 50-m mark and then turns around and runs back to the 20-m mark.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Displacement is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point.
Displacement
• Sometimes you may want to know not only your distance but also your direction from a reference point, such as from the starting point.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• The length of the runner's displacement and the distance traveled would be the same if the runner's motion was in a single direction.
Displacement
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Displacements in the same direction can be added.
Adding Displacements
• For example:
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Displacements in opposite directions can be subtracted.
Adding Displacements
• For example, if you walk 10 m east and then 5 m west, the size of your displacement is:
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Displacements that are not in the same direction or in opposite directions cannot be directly added or subtracted.
Adding Displacements
• For example, if you walk 4 m east and then 3 m north, your displacement is 5 m in a roughly northeast direction, but the total distance traveled is 7m.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• You could describe movement by the distance traveled and by the displacement from the starting point.
• You also might want to describe how fast it is moving.
Speed
• Speed is the distance an object travels per unit of time.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Any change over time is called a rate.
• If you think of distance as the change in position, then speed is the rate at which distance is traveled or the rate of change in position.
Calculating Speed
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
Calculating Speed
• The SI unit for distance is the meter and the SI unit of time is the second (s), so in SI, units of speed are measured in meters per second (m/s).
Section

1 Describing Motion
• Suppose you are in a car traveling on a nearly empty freeway. You look at the speedometer and see that the car's speed hardly changes.
• If you are traveling at a constant speed, you can measure your speed over any distance interval.
Motion with Constant Speed

• Average speed describes speed of motion when speed is changing.
Average Speed
• Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time of travel.
• If the total distance traveled was 5 km and the total time was 1/4 h, or 0.25 h. The average speed was:

1 Describing Motion
• The motion of an object over a period of time can be shown on a distance-time graph.
Graphing Motion
• Time is plotted along the horizontal axis of the graph and the distance traveled is plotted along the vertical axis of the graph.

Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• On a distance-time graph, the distance is plotted on the vertical axis and the time on the horizontal axis.
Plotting a Distance-Time Graph
• Each axis must have a scale that covers the range of number to be plotted.
Section
1Section
1 Describing Motion
• Once the scales for each axis are in place, the data points can be plotted.
Plotting a Distance-Time Graph

2 Velocity and Momentum
• Speed describes only how fast something is moving.
Velocity
• To determine direction you need to know the velocity.
• Velocity includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion.
Section
2Section
2 Velocity and Momentum
• Because velocity depends on direction as well as speed, the velocity of an object can change even if the speed of the object remains constant.
Velocity
• The speed of this car might be constant, but its velocity is not constant because the direction of motion is always changing.

3 Acceleration
Acceleration, Speed and Velocity
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. When the velocity of an object changes, the object is accelerating.
• A change in velocity can be either a change in how fast something is moving, or a change in the direction it is moving.
• Acceleration occurs when an object changes its speed, its direction, or both.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Speeding Up and Slowing Down
• When you think of acceleration, you probably think of something speeding up. However, an object that is slowing down also is accelerating.
• Acceleration also has direction, just as velocity does.
• A change in velocity can be either a change in how fast something is moving or a change in the direction of movement.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Speeding Up and Slowing Down
• If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the speed increases.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Speeding Up and Slowing Down
• If the speed decreases, the acceleration is in the opposite direction from the velocity, and the acceleration is negative.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Changing Direction
• Any time a moving object changes direction, its velocity changes and it is accelerating.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Speed-time Graphs
• For objects traveling in a straight line, a speed-time graph can provide information about the object’s acceleration.
• The slope of the line on a speed-time graph equals the object’s acceleration.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Calculating Acceleration
• To calculate the acceleration of an object, the change in velocity is divided by the length of time interval over which the change occurred.
• To calculate the change in velocity, subtract the initial velocity—the velocity at the beginning of the time interval—from the final velocity—the velocity at the end of the time interval.
Section
3Section

Calculating Acceleration
• Then the change in velocity is:

Calculating Acceleration
• Using this expression for the change in velocity, the acceleration can be calculated from the following equation:
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Calculating Acceleration
• If the direction of motion doesn't change and the object moves in a straight line, the size of change in velocity is the same as the change in speed.
• The size of change in velocity then is the final speed minus the initial speed.

Speeding Up
• Suppose a jet airliner starts at rest at the end of a runway and reaches a velocity of 80 m/s east in 20 s.
David Frazier/Corbis
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Speeding Up
• The airliner is traveling in a straight line down the runway, so its speed and velocity are the same size.
• Because it started from rest, its initial speed was zero.
Section

Speeding Up
• Its acceleration can be calculated as follows:
Section

3 Acceleration
Slowing Down
• The final speed is zero and the initial speed was 3 m/s.
• Now imagine that a skateboarder is moving in a straight line with a velocity of 3 m/s and north comes to a stop in 2 s.
Ken Karp for MMH

3 Acceleration
Calculating Negative Acceleration
• The skateboarder's acceleration is calculated as follows:
• The acceleration is in the opposite direction of the skateboard’s velocity when the skateboarder is slowing down.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
Motion in Two Dimensions
• When an object changes direction, it is accelerating.
• Most objects do not move in only in straight lines.
• Like displacement and velocity, accelerations in the same direction can be added and accelerations in opposite directions can be subtracted.
• Accelerations that are not in the same direction or in opposite directions cannot be directly added together.

Changing Direction
• The speed of the horses in this carousel is constant, but the horses are accelerating because their direction is changing constantly.

• When a ball enters a curve, even if its speed does not change, it is accelerating because its direction is changing.
Circular Motion
• When a ball goes around a curve, the change in the direction of the velocity is toward the center of the curve.

• If you’ve tossed a ball to someone, you’ve probably noticed that thrown objects don’t always travel in straight lines. They curve downward.
Projectile Motion
• Earth’s gravity causes projectiles to follow a curved path.
Section

3 Acceleration
• When you throw a ball, the force exerted by your hand pushes the ball forward.
Horizontal and Vertical Motions
• This force gives the ball horizontal motion.
Donald Miralle/Getty Images
• No force accelerates it forward, so its horizontal velocity is constant, if you ignore air resistance.
Section
3Section
3 Acceleration
• However, when you let go of the ball, gravity can pull it downward, giving it vertical motion.
Horizontal and Vertical Motions
• The ball has constant horizontal velocity but increasing vertical velocity.
Section
