ASSIGNMENT #1

LETTER OF INTRODUCTION

Welcome to AP Physics!

We are going to spend a lot of time together next year, so it’s best if I get a head start on learning a bit about you. Also we will use the Internet and the Web a lot next year for this course, so let’s get you used to communicating with me via e-mail.

Your first digital assignment is to successfully send me an e-mail. Due: Fri., June 20, 2014

Draft an e-mail to me following these rules:

a. Use clearly written, full sentences. Do not abbreviate words like you are on Facebook with a friend. Use spell check! This is a professional communication like you would have with a college professor, so let’s practice for your rapidly nearing future!

b. Address it to me at: nadumas19@

c. Make the Subject: “AP Physics: Introduction of ” (Do not include the quote marks or the brackets, just the words)

d. Begin the e-mail with a formal salutation, like “Mrs. Dumas,” or “Dear Mrs. Dumas,”

e. Now introduce yourself (your name) and tell me a little bit about yourself, like:

• Contact information: Include your email address for blogging purposes and your cell number for text messaging. (Tell me your preferred method of contact.)

• What do you like to do (hobbies, sports, music, interests, etc.)?

• Do you have a job?

Scientific Notation, Significant Figures, and the

Factor-Label Method of Solving Problems

Scientific Notation

Scientific notation (Chang, p. 21) is a type of exponential notation in which only one digit is kept to the left of the decimal point. Example: 8.4050 x 10-8.

Significant Figures

It is reasonable that a calculated result can be no more precise than the least precise piece of information that went into the calculation. Thus it is common practice to write numbers in scientific notation with only the last place containing any uncertainty. When we do this we are keeping only the “significant figures” (Chang, pgs 23-24).

To determine the number of significant figures in a number, you read the number from left to right and count all digits starting with the first non-zero digit. Do not count the exponential part.

Thus the number 0.002050 contains 4 significant figures and is written in scientific notation as 2.050 x 10-3. The trailing zeros in a non-decimal number such as 1200 may or may not be significant: the number may be written as 1.2 x 102, 1.20 x 102 or 1.200 x 102 depending on whether it has 2, 3, or 4 significant figures.

Significant Figures in Derived Quantities

When doing calculations, you should use all the digits allowed by your calculator in all intermediate steps. Then in the final step, round off your answer to the appropriate number of “significant figures” such that only the last decimal place contains any uncertainty. You do this by following the rules:

• When adding or subtracting, first express all numbers with the same exponent. Then the number of decimal places in the answer should be equal to the number of decimal places in the number with the fewest decimal places.

• In multiplication or division, the number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as that in the factor with the fewest significant figures.

When using these rules, assume that exact numbers have an infinite number of significant figures (or decimal places). For example, there are exactly 12 inches in one foot.

Solving Problems Using Dimensional Analysis: The Factor-Label Method

Units may be used as a guide in solving problems. First decide what units you need for your answer. Then determine what units you are given in the problem, and what conversion factors will take you from the given units to the desired units. If the units cancel out properly, chances are that you are doing the right thing! The basic set up is

[pic]

Conversion factors are added until the new units are the same as the units desired. Each conversion factor has a denominator equivalent to the numerator but in different units.

3. Use the factor-label method to solve the following problem. Show your work, and give your answer in scientific notation using the proper number of significant figures.

The distance from the sun to the earth is 93 million miles. How many minutes does it take light from the sun to reach earth?

Useful information: 1 km = 0.6214 mile, c = speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m/s)

Constant Velocity: Position-Time Graphs

MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE

In mechanics we are interested in trying to understand the motion of objects. In this chapter, the motion of objects in 1 dimension will be discussed. Motion in 1 dimension is motion along a straight line.

2.1. Position

The position of an object along a straight line can be uniquely identified by its distance from a (user chosen) origin. (see Figure 2.1). Note: the position is fully specified by 1 coordinate (that is why this a 1 dimensional problem).

[pic]

Figure 2.1. One-dimensional position.

[pic]

Figure 2.2. x vs. t graphs for various velocities.

For a given problem, the origin can be chosen at whatever point is convenient. For example, the position of the object at time t = 0 is often chosen as the origin. The position of the object will in general be a function of time: x(t). Figure 2.2. shows the position as a function of time for an object at rest, and for objects moving to the left and to the right.

The slope of the curve in the position versus time graph depends on the velocity of the object. See for example Figure 2.3. After 10 seconds, the cheetah has covered a distance of 310 meter, the human 100 meter, and the pig 50 meter. Obviously, the cheetah has the highest velocity. A similar conclusion is obtained when we consider the time required to cover a fixed distance. The cheetah covers 300 meter in 10 s, the human in 30 s, and the pig requires 60 s. It is clear that a steeper slope of the curve in the x vs. t graph corresponds to a higher velocity.

[pic]

Figure 2.3. x vs. t graphs for various creatures.

2.2. Velocity

An object that changes its position has a non-zero velocity. The average velocity [pic]of an object during a specified time interval is defined as:

[pic]

If the object moves to the right, the average velocity is positive. An object moving to the left has a negative average velocity. It is clear from the definition of the average velocity that [pic]depends only on the position of the object at time t = t1 and at time t = t2. This is nicely illustrated in sample problem 2-1 and 2-2.

Sample Problem 2-1

You drive a beat-up pickup truck down a straight road for 5.2 mi at 43 mi/h, at which point you run out of fuel. You walk 1.2 mi farther, to the nearest gas station, in 27 min (= 0.450 h). What is your average velocity from the time you started your truck to the time that you arrived at the station ?

The pickup truck initially covers a distance of 5.2 miles with a velocity of 43 miles/hour. This takes 7.3 minutes. After the pickup truck runs out of gas, it takes you 27 minutes to walk to the nearest gas station which is 1.2 miles down the road. When you arrive at the gas station, you have covered (5.2 + 1.2) = 6.4 miles, during a period of (7.3 + 27) = 34.3 minutes. Your average velocity up to this point is:

[pic]

Sample Problem 2-2

Suppose you next carry the fuel back to the truck, making the round-trip in 35 min. What is your average velocity for the full journey, from the start of your driving to you arrival back at the truck with the fuel ?

It takes you another 35 minutes to walk back to your car. When you reach your truck, you are again 5.2 miles from the origin, and have been traveling for (34.4 + 35) = 69.4 minutes. At that point your average velocity is:

[pic]

After this episode, you return back home. You cover the 5.2 miles again in 7.3 minutes (velocity equals 43 miles/hour). When you arrives home, you are 0 miles from your origin, and obviously your average velocity is:

[pic]

The average velocity of the pickup truck which was left in the garage is also 0 miles/hour. Since the average velocity of an object depends only on its initial and final location and time, and not on the motion of the object in between, it is in general not a useful parameter. A more useful quantity is the instantaneous velocity of an object at a given instant. The instantaneous velocity is the value that the average velocity approaches as the time interval over which it is measured approaches zero:

[pic]

For example: see sample problem 2-5.

[pic]

[pic]

The velocity of the object at t = 3.5 s can now be calculated:

[pic]

2.3. Acceleration

The velocity of an object is defined in terms of the change of position of that object over time. A quantity used to describe the change of the velocity of an object over time is the acceleration a. The average acceleration over a time interval between t1 and t2 is defined as:

[pic]

Note the similarity between the definition of the average velocity and the definition of the average acceleration. The instantaneous acceleration a is defined as:

[pic]

From the definition of the acceleration, it is clear that the acceleration has the following units:

[pic]

A positive acceleration is in general interpreted as meaning an increase in velocity. However, this is not correct. From the definition of the acceleration, we can conclude that the acceleration is positive if

[pic]

This is obviously true if the velocities are positive, and the velocity is increasing with time. However, it is also true for negative velocities if the velocity becomes less negative over time.

2.4. Constant Acceleration

Objects falling under the influence of gravity are one example of objects moving with constant acceleration. A constant acceleration means that the acceleration does not depend on time:

[pic]

Integrating this equation, the velocity of the object can be obtained:

[pic]

where v0 is the velocity of the object at time t = 0. From the velocity, the position of the object as function of time can be calculated:

[pic]

where x0 is the position of the object at time t = 0.

Note 1: verify these relations by integrating the formulas for the position and the velocity.

Note 2: the equations of motion are the basis for most problems (see sample problem 7).

Sample Problem 2-8

Spotting a police car, you brake a Porsche from 75 km/h to 45 km/h over a distance of 88m. a) What is the acceleration, assumed to be constant ? b) What is the elapsed time ? c) If you continue to slow down with the acceleration calculated in (a) above, how much time would elapse in bringing the car to rest from 75 km/h ? d) In (c) above, what distance would be covered ? e) Suppose that, on a second trial with the acceleration calculated in (a) above and a different initial velocity, you bring your car to rest after traversing 200 m. What was the total braking time ?

a) Our starting points are the equations of motion:

[pic](1)

[pic](2)

The following information is provided:

* v(t = 0) = v0 = 75 km/h = 20.8 m/s

* v(t1) = 45 km/h = 12.5 m/s

* x(t = 0) = x0 = 0 m (Note: origin defined as position of Porsche at t = 0 s)

* x(t1) = 88 m

* a = constant

From eq.(1) we obtain:

[pic](3)

Substitute (3) in (2):

[pic](4)

From eq.(4) we can obtain the acceleration a:

[pic](5)

b) Substitute eq.(5) into eq.(3):

[pic](6)

c) The car is at rest at time t2:

[pic](7)

Substituting the acceleration calculated using eq.(5) into eq.(3):

[pic](8)

d) Substitute t2 (from eq.(8)) and a (from eq.(5)) into eq.(2):

[pic](9)

e) The following information is provided:

* v(t3) = 0 m/s (Note: Porsche at rest at t = t3)

* x(t = 0) = x0 = 0 m (Note: origin defined as position of Porsche at t = 0)

* x(t3) = 200 m

* a = constant = - 1.6 m/s2

Eq.(1) tells us:

[pic](10)

Substitute eq.(10) into eq.(2):

[pic](11)

The time t3 can now easily be calculated:

[pic](12)

2.5. Gravitational Acceleration

A special case of constant acceleration is free fall (falling in vacuum). In problems of free fall, the direction of free fall is defined along the y-axis, and the positive position along the y-axis corresponds to upward motion. The acceleration due to gravity (g) equals 9.8 m/s2 (along the negative y-axis). The equations of motion for free fall are very similar to those discussed previously for constant acceleration:

[pic]

[pic]

[pic]

where y0 and v0 are the position and the velocity of the object at time t = 0.

Example

A pitcher tosses a baseball straight up, with an initial speed of 25 m/s. (a) How long does it take to reach its highest point ? (b) How high does the ball rise above its release point ? (c) How long will it take for the ball to reach a point 25 m above its release point.

[pic]

Figure 2.4. Vertical position of baseball as function of time.

a) Our starting points are the equations of motion:

[pic]

[pic]

The initial conditions are:

* v(t = 0) = v0 = 25 m/s (upwards movement)

* y(t = 0) = y0 = 0 m (Note: origin defined as position of ball at t = 0)

* g = 9.8 m/s2

The highest point is obtained at time t = t1. At that point, the velocity is zero:

[pic]

[pic]

The ball reaches its highest point after 2.6 s (see Figure 2.4).

b) The position of the ball at t1 = 2.6 s can be easily calculated:

[pic]

c) The quation for y(t) can be easily rewritten as:

[pic]

where y is the height of the ball at time t. This Equation can be easily solved for t:

[pic]

Using the initial conditions specified in (a) this equation can be used to calculate the time at which the ball reaches a height of 25 m (y = 25 m):

t = 1.4 s

t = 3.7 s

[pic]

Figure 2.5. Velocity of the baseball as function of time.

The velocities of the ball at these times are (see also Figure 2.5):

v(t = 1.4 s) = + 11.3 m/s

v(t = 3.7 s) = - 11.3 m/s

At t = 1.4 s, the ball is at y = 25 m with positive velocity (upwards motion). At t = 2.6 s, the ball reaches its highest point (v = 0). After t = 2.6 s, the ball starts falling down (negative velocity). At t= 3.7 s the ball is located again at y = 25 m, but now moves downwards.

|Given below is a strobe picture of a ball rolling across a table. Strobe pictures reveal the position of the object at regular intervals of time, in this case, |

|once each 0.1 seconds. |

|[pic] |

|Notice that the ball covers an equal distance between flashes. Let's assume this distance equals 20 cm and display the ball's behavior on a graph plotting its |

|x-position versus time. |

|[pic] |

|The slope of this line would equal 20 cm divided by 0.1 sec or 200 cm/sec. This represents the ball's average velocity as it moves across the table. Since the |

|ball is moving in a positive direction its velocity is positive. That is, the ball's velocity is a vector quantity possessing both magnitude (200 cm/sec) and |

|direction (positive). |

|[pic] |

|The following physlet by John M. Clement will allow you to test your understanding of this relationship between an object's linear motion and the graphical |

|representation of its behavior. |

|Given below are five combinations of position-time graphs for one-dimensional motion. On each graph, the slope represents the object's velocity. |

|[pic] |

|s vs t - the object is standing still at a positive location. Since the slope equals zero it has no movement. |

| |

|[pic] |

|s vs t - the object is traveling at a constant positive velocity. The locations of its position are increasingly positive. |

| |

|[pic] |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|s vs t - the object is traveling at a constant positive velocity but is traveling through a negative region. For example, a car is traveling north on South |

|Clyde Morris Boulevard towards International Speedway. |

| |

|[pic] |

|s vs t - this slope represents a constant negative velocity since the object is traveling in a negative direction at a constant rate. Notice that the locations |

|of its position are becoming less and less positive. |

| |

|[pic] |

| |

| |

|s vs t - the object is traveling at a constant negative velocity through a negative region. For example, a car is traveling south on South Clyde Morris |

|Boulevard towards Dunlawton. The locations of its position are increasingly negative. |
