Basic Topics
Background Material on Scientific Method
◦ Mostly reading
◦ Bode’s Law
Not important but is an example of someone
whose results were invalidated by later
observations.
This concept of testing and retesting a “Law” or
Theory and modifying to include both new and
older information is the foundation of modern
physical science

Standards
Why do we need them
What are they
◦ Time
◦ Distance
◦ Mass
Dynamics
Concept of equilibrium
Velocity
◦ Change in “distance” /time
Acceleration
◦ Change in velocity (speed?)/time
Concept of average speed and velocity
Concept of average speed and velocity
Concept of average acceleration
The nature of VECTORS
A runner leaves home for a training
session. He typically runs at a speed of 8
miles per hour. It takes him two hours to
make the trip.
◦ What was his average speed?
◦ What was his average velocity?
◦ What was his average acceleration?
◦ How far did he run?
◦ What color underwear was he wearing?
Acceleration of Gravity
What is g?
I throw an object up with a speed of 30
m/s,
◦ how long does it take to get to the point
where it stops?
◦ How much longer does it take to be falling at
a speed of 15 m/s
Do it a step at a time.
A woman throws a 50kg vertically with an
initial speed of 20 m/s. How far does it
travel to the point where it is at rest?
The initial velocity is v0 20 m/s
The final velocity is zero
The acceleration is –g
◦ (MINUS .. Against the original throw.)
It travels for 2 seconds
Let’s look at the graph
Graph (m/s vs. sec) – Example

time
You plan to drive 60 miles with the cruise control set
at 50 mph. How long will it take to get there?
Newton’s Laws
Newton 1
◦ A body at rest or moving at a constant
velocity will tend to remain at rest or at the
same constant velocity unless acted upon by
an external force.
Newton II
◦ A body subjected to an unbalanced force (F)
will accelerate (a) at a rate that is
proportional to the unbalanced force.
◦ The relationship DEFINES the concept of
mass or inertia
