004. `Query 4

Physics I

03-11-2008

Intro Prob 6 given init vel, accel, `dt find final vel, dist

If initial velocity is v0, acceleration is a and time interval is `dt, then in symbols what are the final velocity vf and the displacement `ds?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Given those terms, I would say that the equation would have to be

v0 + a = vf

and

a * 'dt = 'ds

because if you add the initial velocity and the acceleration, you would have the final velocity.

If you multiply the acceleration by the change in time you would get the displacement.

**You would use accel. and `dt to find `dv:

a * `dt = `dv. Adding `dv to initial vel. vo you get final vel.

Then average initial vel. and final vel. to get ave. vel.:

(v0 + vf) / 2 = ave. vel.

You would then multiply ave. vel. and `dt together to get the distance.

For example if a = 3 m/s^2, `dt = 5 s and v0 = 3 m/s:

3 m/s^2 * 5 s = 15 m/s = `dv

15 m/s + 3 m/s = 18 m/s = fin. vel.

(18 m/s + 3 m/s) / 2 = 10.5 m/s = vAve

10.5 m/s * 5 s = 52.5 m = dist.

In more abbreviated form:

a * `dt = `dv

v0 + `dv = vf

(vf + v0) /2 = vAve

vAve * `dt = `ds so

`ds = (vf + v0) / 2 * `dt.

**

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

So, the acceleration multiplied by the change in time gives us the change in velocity. Then if you add the change in velocity to the initial velocity you get the final velocity, and then the average velocity is the inital velocity plus the final then divided by 2. For the distance you multiply the ave. velocity and the change in time to get the distance.

What is the displacement `ds associated with uniform acceleration from velocity v0 to velocity vf in clock time `dt?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The displacement associated with the uniform acceleration from v0 to vf in clock time is the distance an object moves at the specified velocity within a specified time. So 'ds = (vf - v0) * 'dt

** Since accel is uniform vAve = (v0 + vf) / 2.

Thus displacement is

`ds = vAve * `dt = (v0 + vf) / 2 * `dt,

which is the first equation of uniformly accelerated motion. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok, because the acceration is uniform, the displacement is equal to the average velocity multiplied by the change in time.

Describe the flow diagram we obtain for the situation in which we know v0, vf and `dt.

if we know the inital velocity, the final velocity and the change in time then we are able to determine the displacement as well as the average velocity

** The first level in the diagram would contain `dt, v0 and vf.

Then v0 and vf would connect to `dv in the second level.

The second level would also contain vAve, connected from vf in the first level to v0 in the first level.

The third level would contain an a, connected to `dv in the second level and `dt in the first level.

The third level would also contain `ds, connected to vAve in the fourth level and `dt in the first level. **

the diagram would show the components listed in levels and lines connecting them as they would be used together to find another component.

I can learn from a flow diagram, but I have a very hard time trying to draw one up on my own.
