Rates of Change
• Very general idea• Can be applied to nearly anything• So common as to be “obvious”• Understanding motion will be an application
of this idea

Rates of Change
Baby Thomas was born weighing 10 pounds. On his first birthday, Thomas weighs 22 pounds. His mother reads in a baby book that infants should grow at 1 pound per month. Is baby Thomas growing at this rate???
Hurry!!! His mother is shaking with anxiety.

Suggested Student Activity
• Make a stop animation movie with constant acceleration!– Make a table headings of acceleration, velocity, and
position (see sample)– Calculate velocity and position at each time step for a
punted football, jumping pony, growing tree, roller coaster etc.
– Make your object and set. – Using Stop Motion Animator (or similar software), “Grab” a
frame with your object at each position. You’ll need to measure the distance between each frame.
– Save the file as movie– This could also be done as a flip book, or as a live action
video with a strobe light

Summary
• Kinematics is understood as a “rate of change”– Velocity is the rate of change of position– Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
• A rate of change can be seen as the slope of a plot
• Students can create stop animation movies or flipbooks to demonstrate mastery of kinematics concepts

Superman Ride Data
The plot is height vs. time. When is the altitude the highest? When is the velocity highest? When is the velocity constant, and when is it changing?
![Page 30: Kinematics & Superman Educator resources for motion Jonah Kanner – July 10, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a8197c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Measurements in the park
• Riders: Record the acceleration during the ride• Watchers: Measure the velocity of the train near
the bottom of the first big hill:– Pick a point on the track– Time how long the train (front to back) takes to pass
that point– The Superman trains are 16.2 m. Use this to estimate
the velocity• Watchers: Estimate the angle of the lift and the
first drop

Questions with data set• Going up the 1st hill:
– Should the position be 0, constant or changing?– Should the velocity be 0, constant, or changing?– Should the acc. be 0, constant, or changing?
• Can you spot a problem with the accelerometers?
– Use altitude data to estimate speed going up the big hill• Coming down the first hill:
– How much should the acceleration be while in the middle of the hill? Is it? (Hint: free fall)
– Does the acceleration peak at the top, the middle, or the bottom of the hill? Why?
• Estimate the speed going down the 1st hill 3 ways:– Δv = a*t (Use accelerometer data)– Use altitude data to estimate Δy and Δt (use trig for total speed)– Use data measured on the stop watch

Questions with data set
• Horizontal loop– Radius is 30.5 m– V ~ 20 m/s (Can get this from energy)– Get acceleration from accelerometer data– Calculate the centripetal acceleration and
compare to measured acceleration
