What is distance
Distance is how far we have travelled or moved.
What is the SI unit for distance
s is quantity (in equations) and m is unit (answer)
What is displacement
the quickest distance in a straight line to gte to destination
What is the qauntity and unit symbol for displacement
Qauntity- s with arrow on top and SI unit is m but when si unit, always add direction
First, the plane drops supplies to a town that is 40km to the east.
Next, the plane flies 30km north, to pick up some more supplies. They decide to stop there overnight.
What is the distance the plane has travelled from the start of its trip to the end location?
70 km (addition)
First, the plane drops supplies to a town that is 40km to the east.
Next, the plane flies 30km north, to pick up some more supplies. They decide to stop there overnight.
What is the total displacement of the plane from base camp?
50km North east (Pythagoras theorem)
What is speed
The measure of how fast something moves
Speed SI units
quantitive= v and otherwise is ms-1 or m/s
How do you convert from km/h to m/s
you multiply the km/h by 3.6 to get m/s, and you divide the m/s by 3.6 to get km/h
A flight from Adelaide to Melbourne is 640 km and takes a commercial plane 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. Calculate the speed of the plane as it flies.
142ms-1
What is the average speed?
How fast something has travelled overall, ignoring changes in speed
What is instantaneous speed?
Hoe fast something is traveling at a particular time
A skydiver rode a hot air balloon upward a distance of 7000 m for 21 minutes, then jumped and fell for 2.0 minutes, then opened their parachute and drifted downward for 5.0 minutes before landing. Calculate the average speed for the entire trip.
8.3 ms-1
What is velocity
It is a qauntity like speed that takes into account the direction of the motions
SI units?
the symbol is v with an arrow on top and SI unit is ms-1 (always with direction at end)
What is a distance time graph
It is a graph that shows how far an object travels as time progresses
How to calculate average speed of a line on a distance graph?
slope=rise/ run
=y step/ x step
= y2-y1/x2-x1
=answer
How to calculate instantaneous speed of an object
Only one digit
slope= rise/run
=y/x
=answer
What does a displacement graph do?
Show how the position of the object changes compared to where it started
How does a ticker timer work
it makes a mark at a frequency of 50 dots per second. The further away the dots, the fast the object is going.
How to calculate the speed using ticker timer
Look at how many dots for certain length. Then times length until 50 dots every second
What is acceleration?
The change in velocity over a period of time
Acceleration unit?
symbol= a and si unit is metres per second per second (ms-2 or m/s2)
Gravity is a form of?
Acceleration
