Define displacement in your own wordsDraw an example
DistanceDistance
The length of a path between two pointsSI Unit = Meters (m)Large Distances = Kilometers (km)Small Distances = Centimeters (cm)
1 000 m = 1 km1 m = 100 cm
Example: RollercoasterMeasure path car travels
DisplacementDisplacement
The direction from the starting pointAND
the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point
Used when giving directions (i.e. 15 blocks North)
Example: RollercoasterThe direction from the starting point to the car
AndThe length of the straight line from the starting point to the car
NOTE: after you complete your ride and the car is back in place, the displacement is ZERO!!!
Distance/Displacement Demo
VectorsVector
A quantity that has magnitude and direction
Magnitude = Size, length, or amountRepresented by arrows on a graph or map
Length of arrow = magnitude
Displacement is an example of a vector
Combining Displacements
Two displacements (represented by two vectors)
SAME DIRECTION
ADD MAGNITUDE
Two displacements (represented by two vectors)
OPPOSITE DIRECTION
SUBTRACT MAGNITUDE

4 km + 2 km = 6 km
4 km - 2 km = 2 km
Vector Addition & Subtraction
Sample Problems
Resultant Vectors
Displacement that isn’t along a straight path
The vector sum of 2 or more vectors
Points directly from start to finish
Used when 2 or more displacement vectors have different directions

Ticket InUsing Analogies
Is displacement more like the length of a rope that is pulled tight or the length of a coiled rope?
Problem solvingShould your directions to a friend for traveling from one city to another include displacements or distances?Explain
Draw your own diagram for the following situations. Then, find thedistance (Dist) and label the displacement (Displ) each person moves. Record your answers on your paper.
1. John flies directly east for 20 km, then turns to the north and flies foranother 10 km before dodging a flock of geese.
2. Cameron flies directly west for 13 km, then turns to the south andflies for another 30 km. He then flies east for 13 km before landing atthe airport.
3. Marissa runs north for 37 meters, then turns east and runs foranother 10 meters, then stops.
4. Alex walks east for 3 km, stops for a break, and then runs the samedirection for 4 km before he stops.
5. Taylor rides her bicycle 20 km north, turns around, and thenrides the bicycle 15 km back toward her starting point.
SpeedThe ratio of the distance an object moves to the amount of time the object moves
SI unit = meters per second (m/s)Example:
Roller Blader travels 2 m/sCar 80 km/hr
Expressed two waysAverageInstantaneous
Average vs Instantaneous
SpeedAverageComputed for the ENTIRE duration of a tripTotal distance traveled (d) / time (t)Lets you know how long a trip will take
InstantaneousMeasured at a PARTICULAR instantThe rate at which an object is moving at a given point in timeEX car speedometer
Tells you how fast you are going that instant
Speed RecordsAccording to the Guinness World Records the fastest human sprinter is Usain Bolt, who set a record of 9.63 seconds in the 2012 Olympics finals.
In 2009, Sam Whittingham broke his own record again for a human powered cyclist speed of 82.819 MPH!
In 2010, Barbara Buatois broke her own record, with a women's human powered cyclist speed of 75.69 MPH.
In 2011, Greg Westlake broke his own record with an arm powered cyclist world speed record of 45.68 MPH.
Ticket OutA car travels 85 km from town A to Town B, then 45 km from Town B to town C. The total trip took 1.5 hours. What was the average speed of the car?
Ticket InExplain your own words the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed

Average VelocityA description of BOTH speed and direction of motion
Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position.”
Results of changes in velocityChange in SpeedChange in directionChange in both
VelocityImagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. While this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. Because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. Since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity.
If a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. Every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. For certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
Constant VelocityMoving with uniform motion
