    KINEMATICS

    Let's Recall

    FOUR KINEMATIC EQUATIONS


    Objectives:
    1. Define free falling object

    2. Use the fact that that the magnitude of acceleration


    due to gravity on the Earth’s surface is 9.8m/s2

    3. Solve problems involving free fall and object thrown


    upward
    FREE FALL
    Free Falling Object
    “Free-fall” motion is a Uniformly
    Accelerated Motion that takes
    place in a vertical direction.

    Anytime an object moves vertically,


    either going upwards, or going
    downwards, we say it is in Free-fall.
    ALWAYS REMEMBER!
    #1 The constant acceleration of the object is ALWAYS
    directed downwards due to the influence of Earth’s
    gravity; the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is
    referred to as “g” and has a value of 9.8 m/s2 .

    Because of sign conventions, where we choose up to


    be the positive direction and down to be the negative,
    we will say that, in Free-fall, the vertical acceleration of
    an object is -g = -9.8 m/s2 .

    [Recall: the negative sign indicates that the direction of the acceleration is downwards.]
    ALWAYS REMEMBER!
    #2

    When an object is in Free-fall, we will always ignore any


    effects that air resistance may have on the object’s
    motion

    [For a demonstration of a feather and steel ball


    being dropped in air, and then without air resistance,

    SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
    Basic Equation Free Fall
    Vf = Vi + at Vf = gt
    d = 1/2 (Vf + Vi) t h = 1/2 (Vf ) t
    d = Vi t + 1/2at2 h = 1/2gt2
    Vf 2 =Vi2 + 2ad Vf 2 = 2gh
    Initial velocity (Vi ) would always be at zero value.
    Acceleration is always = g = (9.8m/s2)
    Displacement = Height (h) = Vertical Displacement

    Basic Equation Free Fall


    Vf = X Vi + at Vf = gt
    d = 1/2 (Vf + X Vi) t h = 1/2 (Vf ) t
    d = VX i t + 1/2at 2 h = 1/2gt2
    Vf 2 =V Xi2 + 2ad Vf 2 = 2gh
    Sample Problem 1
    Sir Isaac Newton had
    an apple drop from a
    tree that reached his
    head after 2.78
    seconds. How high was
    the tree? What is the
    apple’s final velocity?
    Sample Problem 2
    You are standing at the edge
    of the cliff and drop a ball. It
    takes 12.6 secs to hit the
    ground. What is the velocity of
    the ball?
    Sample Problem 3
    How long does it take for a
    rock to fall from a 15.50 m high
    building?
    What is its final Velocity?
    OBJECT THROWN UPWARD
    Object Thrown Upward

    An object thrown upward is


    also an example of a freely
    falling body, since it goes
    against gravity, and then falls
    back down to move along
    with it.
    Thrown Upward Vf = 0
    C Vi = 0

    In this position.

    Falling down
    Speed is equal
    to the Speed in
    position D

    B
    In this position.
    Speed is equal
    to the Speed in
    position B
    In this position.
    Speed is equal
    to the Speed in
    position E E
    Vi = 26.3m/s A Vf = 26.3m/s
    Symmetries of Object Thrown
    Upward
    1. Time symmetry means that the time
    required for an object to reach its maximum
    height is equal to the time it takes for the
    object to go back to its starting point from the
    peak.
    2. Speed symmetry means the speed of the
    object as it travels upward is equal to its speed
    going downward to its origin.
    SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
    Thrown Upward Free Fall
    Vf = Vo + gt Vf = gt
    h = 1/2 (Vf + Vo) t h = 1/2 (Vf ) t
    h = Vot + 1/2gt2 h = 1/2gt2
    Vf 2 =Vo2 + 2gh Vf 2 = 2gh
    NOTE:

    When solving a problem about objects


    thrown upward, we must remember that
    gravity is negative, since the object resists
    gravity.
    Sample Problem
    A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 26.3m/s.

    a. How long does it take to reach the highest point?


    b. How high does it rise?
    c. How long does it take the ball to hit the ground
    after it reaches the highest point?
    d. What is its velocity when it returns to the level
    from which it started?
    SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
    Thrown Upward Free Fall
    Vf = Vo + gt Vf = gt
    h = 1/2 (Vf + Vo) t h = 1/2 (Vf ) t
    h = Vot + 1/2gt2 h = 1/2gt2
    Vf 2 =Vo2 + 2gh Vf 2 = 2gh
    Sample Problem
    a. How long does it take to reach the highest point? c. How long does it take the ball to hit the
    ground after it reaches the highest point?
    a. Vf = Vo + gt
    t = (Vf - Vo) / g c. t = 2.68s
    t = (0 - 26.3m/s) / 9.8m/s2
    t = 2.68s d. What is its velocity when it returns to the
    level from which it started?

    d. h = 35.29m
    b. How high does it rise?

    b. h = Vot - 1/2gt2
    h = (26.3m/s)(2.68s) - 1/2 (9.8m/s2)(2.68s)2
    h = 35.29m
    LET’S PRACTICE!
    Instruction: Answer the following problems using in complete
    solution. Strictly follow GRESA w/ FBD.

    1. While taking some water from a well, Mark dropped his


    necklace and saw it settle on the bottom after 5.66 seconds.
    How fast did the necklace travel before it hit the bottom? How
    deep was the well?

    2. A marble is dropped from a bridge and strikes the water in 7


    seconds. Calculate the speed with which it strikes and the
    height of the bridge.
    LETS CHECK
    1. Define free falling object

    3. Use the fact that that the magnitude of acceleration


    due to gravity on the Earth’s surface is 9.8m/s2

    4. Solve problems involving free fall and object thrown
