• Data:• Measure and record a length, measure and
record its period

Measurement Lab
• Measure carefully.• Estimate one digit• Include a unit with each value.
• Show all of your work in the calculations(see pp 18 and 22 of your planner for equations)– Consider significant figures at each step– Include units at each step
At 30 km/h
At 75 km/h
Velocity
• --a vector, including a speed and a direction• --units are meters/second (m/s)
• Common speeds:• --walking pace ~2 m/s• --highway speed ~30 m/s

Kinematics
Constant motion
1) A sprinter runs at 10.0 m/s for 3.5 s. How far does he travel?
2) A car travels 1500 m in 45 s. What is its speed?
3) An airplane flies at 240 m/s from Denver to Kansas City, a distance of 1,000,000 m. How long does the flight take?

Accelerated motion
1) A sprinter reaches 10.0 m/s in 2.95 s after the start of a race. What is his acceleration?
2) An airplane accelerates from rest to 180 m/s at an acceleration of 6.0 m/s2. How long does this take-off last?
3) A car accelerates at 3.0 m/s2 for 12 s. What is its change in speed?

What distance is covered in each of these cases?
…is dropped from a height of…
• Two things are given here!
1) vi=0 m/s and
2) a=-9.8 m/s2
…is thrown vertically…
1) a=-9.8 m/s2
2) The object rises as long as v>0 m/s, then it turns around and falls. 3) Rising time = falling time
…is thrown horizontally…
1) viy=0 m/s
2) ay=-9.8 m/s2
3) vx is given, and constant
4) Time is the same for both x and y motion
…is thrown at an angle of…
• This is the big one—ballistic motion.1) Separate motion into x and y components.2) Calculate time in the air by the vy component
3) Motion in the x direction is constant.
4) Highest point is halfway through the flight5) Rising and falling times are equal if the height
is the same.
