Chapter 4 Linear Motion

Conceptual Physics Chapter 4

Motion is Relative
Even things that appear to be at rest
move!
Identify your frame of reference.
Describe the motion of your table.
State the motion of an object with
respect to your chosen frame of
reference.

Acceleration
If an object speeds up OR slows down
OR changes direction, it undergoes an
acceleration.

A car with its cruise control set at 30


mph travels around a circular track.
Does the car undergo an acceleration?

Acceleration
In 5 seconds a car moving in a straight
line to the north increases its speed
from 50 km/hr to 75 km/hr. What is
the magnitude of its acceleration?

as a result of
gravity.
Does
it accelerate?
If a body falls only under the influence
of gravity, it is said to be in free fall.
By definition, air resistance plays no
role in free fall.
All bodies in free fall, regardless of
mass, will accelerate at the same rate.
Conceptual Physics Chapter 4

15

Free Fall
The acceleration of a freely falling body
is denoted by g.
g = 9.8 m/s2
or approximately 10 m/s2
The direction of free-fall acceleration
is DOWNWARD this is generally
indicated with a negative sign.

How does air resistance affect
the motion of a falling body?
