Problem of the Day:
In the wake of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, you have
been hired by the 2016 Rio Brazil Olympic Committee to analyze the effectiveness of players across all sports. How can you apply your physics
Motion!
Everything around us moves.
Even things around us that don’t seem to move ARE actually moving
LINEAR MOTION
SPEED
1. Speed is a measure of how fast something in moving
2. It is the rate at which distance is covered
Calculating speed
•Speed depends on two things
▫Distance (how far an object traveled) ▫Time (how long it took to travel)
•If you want to calculate speed, how do you put distance and time together
mathematically?
INSTANTANEOUS SPEED VS. AVERAGE SPEED
But what about...
VELOCITY
VELOCITY IS SPEED IN A GIVEN DIRECTION
for example, SPEED: Swimmer swam 5 m/s
VELOCITY: Swimmer swam 5 m/s to the north
Constant Velocity: CONSTANT SPEED & CONSTANT DIRECTION (constant speed in a straight line)
Speed and velocity can often be the same. But the two are NOT used interchangeably in physics
•The formula for speed and velocity looks like:
▫v = velocity
measured in m/s or km/hr
▫∆x = change in displacement/distance
measured in meters, kilometers, centimeters, etc.
▫∆t = change in time
measured in seconds, minutes, hours, etc.
A change in any quantity, indicated by the Greek
Let’s try this!
•We will be solving word problems from
here on out, and I would like us to follow these five simple steps:
Draw a picture
List the Given Information
I DO
In the Sestriera section (top) of the course in the Sochi Winter Olympics, the majority of the downhill skiers covered a distance of 76 meters in 2 seconds.What is the speed of these skiers in m/s?
We Do: Markerboard
•Usain Bolt broke the world record by
running the 100m dash in 9.58 seconds towards the north in Moscow. What is his average velocity?
• Using the same velocity equation we can also solve for time or distance.
▫ We can solve for whichever variable is
missing as long as the other two are given ▫ It’s all about making the equations do what
we want
• And let me show you what I mean…
I DO
•In the Men’s US Hockey matches in the
Sochi Olympics, the athletes have known to hit slapshots where the puck travels 45 m/s (100 mph!!!) for 1 second. What
YOU DO: Markerboard
•The USA Bobsled Team averages a speed
I DO
•In the speed skating event, the top skater will reach speeds of 14 m/s (31 mph!)
YOU DO:
Student Olympic Event • Dominoes Relay Race▫ Work with your group to solve a series of
speed/velocity questions! ▫ You HAVE TO USE THE 5
STEP METHOD
• In partners, connect the domino pieces together
▫ There is an extra answer that doesn’t fit
▫ There is an extra question that doesn’t go anywhere
