traveled by a moving object
• DISPLACEMENT
– the length of the STRAIGHT LINE PATH
from a moving object’s ORIGIN to its
FINAL POSITION

– Examples
• Distance, Time, Mass, Volume
• VECTOR
– A measured quantity that HAS DIRECTION
– SIGN SHOWS DIRECTION

Displacement = 70.7 m
Avg Speed = 2 m/s

Avg Speed = 1.4 m/s
Avg Velocity = 1.4 m/s
Note that the bird has the same average
SPEED and VELOCITY because its
DISTANCE and DISPLACEMENT
were EQUAL!

be found by considering:
- its starting velocity
- its acceleration
- the amount of time over
which it accelerates”

The Kinematics of Freefall
What happens as objects fall?!?
• Physicists DO NOT KNOW WHY objects fall!
• But, we can describe HOW they fall
– As they fall, THEY GO FASTER
– This means that they ACCELERATE!
– They ACCELERATE at a CONSTANT RATE
“g” - The “Magic” Number
• “Little g” is a ‘shorthand’for
ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
• All LARGE OBJECTS have a “little g” value!
– Examples
• “g” is 1.67 m/s2 on the Moon
• “g” is 26 m/s2 on Jupiter
• “g” is 9.81 m/s2 on Earth
Over the Edge
Horizontal Projectiles
A red ball rolls off the edge of a table
What does its path look like as it falls?
Parabolic path
As the red ball rolls off the edge, a green
ball is dropped from rest from the same
height at the same time.
Which one will hit the ground first?
They will hit
at the SAME
TIME!!!
Push and Pull
Newton’s Laws
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object
in motion continues in motion with constant
velocity (that is, constant speed in a straight line)
unless it experiences a net external force.
Also known as the “Law of Inertia”
Inertia
Tendency of an object to maintain its STATE OF MOTION
Proportional to MASS
Do these guys have a lot of inertia?
MORE MASS
means
MORE INERTIA
LOTS OF INERTIA

GET MOVING or
STOP
Force
• A push or pull on an object
• Changes STATE OF MOTION
• CONTACT FORCE
– Physical interaction between objects
– Normal, Tension, Friction
• FIELD FORCE
– “Action over a distance”
– Gravity (Weight)
A block of wood is sitting motionless on a table.
What forces are acting on it?
Normal
Weight
FN
Fg
Normal Force is a
REACTION
force that any
object exerts
when PUSHED ON
Weight is gravity
pulling toward
CENTER of the
EARTH
Net Force
• No NET FORCE if
– MOTIONLESS
– MOVING WITH CONSTANT VELOCITY
• Unbalanced force  CHANGE IN MOTION
• Changing motion  ACCELERATION
Force  Acceleration
• How much acceleration?
• Depends on:
– AMOUNT OF FORCE
• MORE FORCE = MORE ACCELERATION
– MASS OF OBJECT
• MORE MASS = LESS ACCELERATION
Newton’s Second Law
“The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to
the net external force acting on the object and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.”

Unit of force is the NEWTON (N)
Free Body Diagrams

from a hose to the east. In what direction
is the force on the hose?
There will be a force on the hose to the WEST

the boat?

Wave Properties
Definitions
MEDIUM – a continuous collection of particles
Examples:
AIR
WATER
METAL
PULSE – a single disturbance in a medium
WAVE – a regularly repeating pulse in a medium
that transmits energy without transmitting mass
Transverse Waves
Direction of wave travel is PERPENDICULAR
to the motion of the medium

Transverse Waves
• The particles in a
transverse wave only move
UP and DOWN
• ENERGY is transferred
but the particles DO NOT
MOVE in the direction of
wave travel
• More ENERGY means
more AMPLITUDE
Longitudinal Waves
Direction of wave travel is PARALLEL to the
motion of the medium
Example: Sound waves

Longitudinal Waves
• The particles in a
longitudinal wave only
move SIDE to SIDE
• ENERGY is transferred and
particles MOVE BACK and
FORTH in the direction of
wave travel
• More ENERGY means
more AMPLITUDE
How does it do that?!?
Introduction to Energy, Work, and
Power
Where does FORCE come from?
Potential Energy (PE)
stored in a device or ‘field’
Gravitational PE
Spring PE
Electrical Potential
Chemical Energy
Nuclear Bonding Energy
WORK
(results
in force)
Kinetic Energy (KE)
energy of a
MOVING object
Thermal (Internal) Energy (Q)
“Waste Energy” or Heat
lost during any energy transfer
Definitions
• Energy
– the ability to do WORK
• Work
– Release of ENERGY in MOVING an object.
– FORCE exerted through a DISTANCE
• Power
W = F·d
– WORK done in a certain amount of TIME
P = W/t
Units
• Unit of energy  JOULE (J)
• Work is “change” in energy  JOULE (J)
• Power is ENERGY / TIME  WATT (W)
Law of Conservation of Energy
• The energy of a closed system will always remain
constant – energy cannot be created or destroyed.
• Seems to be violated by “waste” energy
• We must INCLUDE waste energy!
ETOT = KE + PE + Q
Electricity Comes Alive
Electrical Current
How can we manipulate energy in
electric fields?

How much electrical PE?
• Electrical P.E. is also called VOLTAGE or
POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE
• Unit for electrical potential  VOLT
• 1 Volt = 1 Joule/Coulomb
W
V
q
Amount of work done in moving
a charge and the amount of charge
moved
Current
Current: is the rate at which charge flows
through a given point
Current can only be sustained if there is a POTENTIAL
DIFFERENCE or VOLTAGE between two points!
The unit of current is the AMPERE or AMP
1 ampere = 1 COULOMB PER SECOND
1A = 1C/s
Resistance
Resistance: is a measurement of how strongly
an object will oppose current
An object’s resistance depends on FOUR factors:
Resistivity
Is specific to a material – the
higher it is, the more natural
resistance the material has.
Cross-sectional Area
How big is the object across?
The wider it is, the more current
it will allow to pass.
Length
How long is the object?
The longer it is, the more it will
oppose current flow.
Temperature
If the object is warm, the
molecules inside will be bouncing
around more – opposing current.
Magnetism
• Magnetism is a FIELD FORCE
– Acts over a DISTANCE without CONTACT
• Magnets produce FIELDS around them that
influence some types of metal
– IRON, NICKEL, and COBALT
• Closely related to ELECTRICITY
Light is a WAVE
Electromagnetic Spectrum and
EM Waves
EM Waves
• Light is part of the ELECTROMAGNETIC
SPECTRUM
• EM WAVES are radiated by ALL objects at the
