<p begin="0:00:01.033" dur="0:00:02.967">We will discuss velocities<br />and acceleration.</p>
|

11

<p begin="0:00:04.000" dur="0:00:02.800">I'll start<br />with something simple.</p>
|

12

<p begin="0:00:06.800" dur="0:00:04.466">I have a motion of an object<br />along a straight line--</p>
|
|
13
|

<p begin="0:00:11.266" dur="0:00:03.367">we'll call that<br />one-dimensional motion.</p>
|
|
14
|
+
<p begin="0:00:14.633" dur="0:00:03.100">And I'll tell you that<br />the object is here at time t1.</p>
|
|
15
|
+
<p begin="0:00:17.733" dur="0:00:01.333">At time t2, it's here.</p>

16

<p begin="0:00:19.066" dur="0:00:01.400">At time t3, it's there.</p>
|

17

<p begin="0:00:20.466" dur="0:00:01.767">At time t4, it's here</p>
|
|
18
|
+
<p begin="0:00:22.233" dur="0:00:03.533">and at time t5, it's back<br />where it was at t1.</p>
|
|
19
|
+
<p begin="0:00:25.766" dur="0:00:03.500">And here you see<br />the positions in x</p>
|
|
20
|

<p begin="0:00:29.266" dur="0:00:07.534">where it is located<br />at that moment in time.</p>
|
|
21
|
+
<p begin="0:00:36.800" dur="0:00:03.866">I will define this to be<br />the increasing value of x.</p>
|
|
22
|
+
<p begin="0:00:40.666" dur="0:00:03.500">It's my free choice,<br />but I've chosen this now.</p>
|
|
23
|
+
<p begin="0:00:44.166" dur="0:00:07.234">Now we will introduce what<br />we call the average velocity.</p>
|
|
24
|
+
<p begin="0:00:51.400" dur="0:00:01.066">I put a bar over it.</p>
|
|
25
|
+
<p begin="0:00:52.466" dur="0:00:04.967">That stands for average<br />between time t1 and time t2.</p>
|
|
26
|
+
<p begin="0:00:57.433" dur="0:00:03.067">That we define in physics</p>
|
|
27
|
+
<p begin="0:01:00.500" dur="0:00:03.966">as x at time t2<br />minus x at time t1</p>
|
|
28
|
+
<p begin="0:01:04.466" dur="0:00:03.134">divided by t2 minus t1.</p>
|
|
29
|
+
<p begin="0:01:07.600" dur="0:00:03.166">That is our definition.</p>
|
|
30
|
+
<p begin="0:01:10.766" dur="0:00:04.167">In our case, because<br />of the way that I define</p>
|
|
31
|
+
<p begin="0:01:14.933" dur="0:00:04.567">the increasing value of x,<br />this is larger than 0.</p>
|
|
32
|
+
<p begin="0:01:19.500" dur="0:00:07.933">However, if I take the average<br />velocity between t1 and t5</p>
|
|
33
|
+
<p begin="0:01:27.433" dur="0:00:03.600">that would be 0, because<br />they are at the same position</p>
|
|
34
|
+
<p begin="0:01:31.033" dur="0:00:02.300">so the upstairs is 0.</p>
|
|
35
|
+
<p begin="0:01:33.333" dur="0:00:02.800">If I had chosen t4 and t2--</p>
|
|
36
|
+
<p begin="0:01:36.133" dur="0:00:04.267">average velocity<br />between time t2 and t4--</p>
|
|
37
|
+
<p begin="0:01:40.400" dur="0:00:03.900">you would have seen<br />that that is negative</p>
|
|
38
|
+
<p begin="0:01:44.300" dur="0:00:03.133">because the upstairs<br />is negative.</p>
|
|
39
|
+
<p begin="0:01:47.433" dur="0:00:02.333">Notice that I haven't told you</p>
|
|
40
|
+
<p begin="0:01:49.766" dur="0:00:02.434">where I choose my zero<br />on my x axis.</p>
|
|
41
|
+
<p begin="0:01:52.200" dur="0:00:03.966">It's completely unimportant<br />for the average velocity.</p>
|
|
42
|
+
<p begin="0:01:56.166" dur="0:00:01.767">It makes no difference.</p>
|
|
43
|
+
<p begin="0:01:57.933" dur="0:00:02.800">However, if I had chosen this</p>
|
|
44
|
+
<p begin="0:02:00.733" dur="0:00:03.300">to be the direction<br />of increasing x</p>
|
|
45
|
+
<p begin="0:02:04.033" dur="0:00:03.200">then, of course,<br />the signs would flip.</p>
|
|
46
|
+
<p begin="0:02:07.233" dur="0:00:01.633">Then this would<br />have been negative</p>
|
|
47
|
+
<p begin="0:02:08.866" dur="0:00:01.700">and this would<br />have been positive.</p>
|
|
48
|
+
<p begin="0:02:10.566" dur="0:00:03.334">So the direction,<br />that you are free to choose</p>
|
|
49
|
+
<p begin="0:02:13.900" dur="0:00:01.633">determines the signs.</p>
|
|
50
|
+
<p begin="0:02:15.533" dur="0:00:03.733">The location where you put<br />your zero is not important</p>
|
|
51
|
+
<p begin="0:02:19.266" dur="0:00:02.267">but signs in physics do matter.</p>
|
|
52
|
+
<p begin="0:02:21.533" dur="0:00:01.500">Signs are important.</p>
|
|
53
|
+
<p begin="0:02:23.033" dur="0:00:03.200">Whether you owe me money<br />or I owe you money</p>
|
|
54
|
+
<p begin="0:02:26.233" dur="0:00:02.600">the difference<br />is only a minus sign</p>
|
|
55
|
+
<p begin="0:02:28.833" dur="0:00:02.600">but I think it's important<br />for you.</p>
|
|
56
|
+
<p begin="0:02:34.100" dur="0:00:03.766">Now I will give you<br />not only the positions--</p>
|
|
57
|
+
<p begin="0:02:37.866" dur="0:00:04.934">as I did here on the x axis<br />at discrete moments in time--</p>
|
|
58
|
+
<p begin="0:02:42.800" dur="0:00:01.866">but I'm going to tell you</p>
|
|
59
|
+
<p begin="0:02:44.666" dur="0:00:03.667">exactly where the object is<br />at any moment in time.</p>
|
|
60
|
+
<p begin="0:02:48.333" dur="0:00:02.900">Here you see an xt diagram</p>
|
|
61
|
+
<p begin="0:02:51.233" dur="0:00:05.867">so you see that at t1,<br />the object is at position xt1.</p>
|
|
62
|
+
<p begin="0:02:57.100" dur="0:00:01.833">This is the road of the object.</p>
|
|
63
|
+
<p begin="0:02:58.933" dur="0:00:02.700">This is the straight line,<br />where it's moving.</p>
|
|
64
|
+
<p begin="0:03:01.633" dur="0:00:02.567">It starts here and<br />it goes to this position.</p>
|
|
65
|
+
<p begin="0:03:04.200" dur="0:00:01.900">It goes to this one,<br />it comes back to t4</p>
|
|
66
|
+
<p begin="0:03:06.100" dur="0:00:01.133">and it comes back here.</p>
|
|
67
|
+
<p begin="0:03:07.233" dur="0:00:06.300">I will tell you now<br />every moment in time in between.</p>
|
|
68
|
+
<p begin="0:03:18.066" dur="0:00:02.200">And there it goes.</p>
|
|
69
|
+
<p begin="0:03:23.633" dur="0:00:01.100">Voil�.</p>
|
|
70
|
+
<p begin="0:03:24.733" dur="0:00:02.867">This is now information<br />that is way more.</p>
|
|
71
|
+
<p begin="0:03:27.600" dur="0:00:03.333">You have the information<br />at any moment in time.</p>
|
|
72
|
+
<p begin="0:03:30.933" dur="0:00:04.567">Notice that I now did choose<br />x = 0.</p>
|
|
73
|
+
<p begin="0:03:35.500" dur="0:00:01.833">I chose it somewhere here</p>
|
|
74
|
+
<p begin="0:03:37.333" dur="0:00:03.433">but I could have chosen it<br />at any other point--</p>
|
|
75
|
+
<p begin="0:03:40.766" dur="0:00:01.234">for whatever follows</p>
|
|
76
|
+
<p begin="0:03:42.000" dur="0:00:02.133">you will see that it makes<br />no difference--</p>
|
|
77
|
+
<p begin="0:03:44.133" dur="0:00:02.967">so I have chosen a zero point<br />so that I can make a graph.</p>
|
|
78
|
+
<p begin="0:03:47.100" dur="0:00:04.433">And now we will look<br />at the average velocity</p>
|
|
79
|
+
<p begin="0:03:51.533" dur="0:00:02.900">in a somewhat different way.</p>
|
|
80
|
+
<p begin="0:03:54.433" dur="0:00:03.233">Say I choose my time t2 and t3.</p>
|
|
81
|
+
<p begin="0:03:57.666" dur="0:00:03.300">I draw here now this line.</p>
|
|
82
|
+
<p begin="0:04:07.300" dur="0:00:04.300">And this angle I call alpha</p>
|
|
83
|
+
<p begin="0:04:11.600" dur="0:00:05.133">and this part here<br />I call delta x</p>
|
|
84
|
+
<p begin="0:04:16.733" dur="0:00:04.033">and this here is delta t.</p>
|
|
85
|
+
<p begin="0:04:20.766" dur="0:00:02.034">And so you could right now--</p>
|
|
86
|
+
<p begin="0:04:22.800" dur="0:00:03.333">if you're careful<br />about your sign convention--</p>
|
|
87
|
+
<p begin="0:04:26.133" dur="0:00:03.633">you could write down now<br />that the average velocity</p>
|
|
88
|
+
<p begin="0:04:29.766" dur="0:00:04.167">equals delta x<br />divided by delta t.</p>
|
|
89
|
+
<p begin="0:04:33.933" dur="0:00:02.267">But be careful.</p>
|
|
90
|
+
<p begin="0:04:36.200" dur="0:00:04.100">If the angle is positive--<br />I call this a positive angle--</p>
|
|
91
|
+
<p begin="0:04:40.300" dur="0:00:02.666">then the average velocity<br />is positive</p>
|
|
92
|
+
<p begin="0:04:42.966" dur="0:00:02.234">but if I have a negative angle</p>
|
|
93
|
+
<p begin="0:04:45.200" dur="0:00:03.966">then the average velocity<br />would be negative.</p>
|
|
94
|
+
<p begin="0:04:49.166" dur="0:00:05.567">For instance, between t4 and t5,<br />if I draw this line</p>
|
|
95
|
+
<p begin="0:04:54.733" dur="0:00:03.533">then this angle here is negative</p>
|
|
96
|
+
<p begin="0:04:58.266" dur="0:00:04.900">and so the average velocity<br />between t4 and t5</p>
|
|
97
|
+
<p begin="0:05:03.166" dur="0:00:01.767">is now negative.</p>
|
|
98
|
+
<p begin="0:05:06.900" dur="0:00:02.300">Again, if I had changed<br />the zero points</p>
|
|
99
|
+
<p begin="0:05:09.200" dur="0:00:02.100">you would have found<br />the same values</p>
|
|
100
|
+
<p begin="0:05:11.300" dur="0:00:01.533">for the average velocity.</p>
|
|
101
|
+
<p begin="0:05:12.833" dur="0:00:02.633">The only difference<br />would have been</p>
|
|
102
|
+
<p begin="0:05:15.466" dur="0:00:02.967">the position of the curve<br />in that plot.</p>
|
|
103
|
+
<p begin="0:05:20.866" dur="0:00:03.834">There is a very<br />big difference in physics</p>
|
|
104
|
+
<p begin="0:05:24.700" dur="0:00:02.600">between speed and velocity.</p>
|
|
105
|
+
<p begin="0:05:27.300" dur="0:00:04.566">The average velocity<br />between time t1 and t5 is zero</p>
|
|
106
|
+
<p begin="0:05:31.866" dur="0:00:03.367">but the average speed is not.</p>
|
|
107
|
+
<p begin="0:05:35.233" dur="0:00:06.033">The average speed is defined<br />as the distance traveled</p>
|
|
108
|
+
<p begin="0:05:41.266" dur="0:00:06.667">divided by the time that it<br />takes to travel that distance.</p>
|
|
109
|
+
<p begin="0:05:47.933" dur="0:00:04.667">Now, what is the distance<br />that the object traveled</p>
|
|
110
|
+
<p begin="0:05:52.600" dur="0:00:02.666">between time t1 and time t5?</p>
|
|
111
|
+
<p begin="0:05:55.266" dur="0:00:05.334">Well, the object started at<br />a position here on this x axis</p>
|
|
112
|
+
<p begin="0:06:00.600" dur="0:00:04.633">and then it went up,<br />reached the highest point here</p>
|
|
113
|
+
<p begin="0:06:05.233" dur="0:00:03.267">so I'll make a drawing<br />for you here.</p>
|
|
114
|
+
<p begin="0:06:08.500" dur="0:00:04.366">It reached the highest point<br />here, then it went down.</p>
|
|
115
|
+
<p begin="0:06:12.866" dur="0:00:02.300">And then when it went here</p>
|
|
116
|
+
<p begin="0:06:15.166" dur="0:00:04.567">it went up again and comes<br />down again and it's back.</p>

|

118

<p begin="0:06:23.066" dur="0:00:03.934">you would now have to know<br />exactly what this distance is</p>

144

<p begin="0:08:07.800" dur="0:00:04.000">So think of this<br />as being t3 and this as t2.</p>

148

<p begin="0:08:23.266" dur="0:00:04.267">That's the first derivative<br />of the position versus time.</p>

<p begin="0:08:27.533" dur="0:00:02.167">And now comes an equation</p>

150

<p begin="0:08:29.700" dur="0:00:02.433">which is one of the very few</p>

151

<p begin="0:08:32.133" dur="0:00:03.667">that I want you to remember<br />in x... in 801:</p>

153

<p begin="0:08:43.266" dur="0:00:02.400">but for the rest<br />of your time at MIT.</p>

155

<p begin="0:08:45.666" dur="0:00:03.267">And this could be larger than 0,<br />this could be 0</p>

156

<p begin="0:08:48.933" dur="0:00:02.167">and this could be<br />smaller than 0.</p>

157

<p begin="0:08:51.100" dur="0:00:03.433">If the angle of alpha,<br />the tangential, is positive</p>
|

158

<p begin="0:08:54.533" dur="0:00:02.000">then it is a positive value.</p>

159

<p begin="0:08:56.533" dur="0:00:03.100">If it is negative, however,<br />when you're here</p>
|
|
160

<p begin="0:08:59.633" dur="0:00:02.200">then it is a negative velocity.</p>
|

161

<p begin="0:09:01.833" dur="0:00:02.767">And if the angle<br />of alpha is zero</p>

162

<p begin="0:09:04.600" dur="0:00:02.233">then the velocity is zero.</p>
|
|
163
|

<p begin="0:09:06.833" dur="0:00:02.600">So if we now look at this plot</p>
|
|
164
|

<p begin="0:09:09.433" dur="0:00:04.533">we can search for the times<br />that the velocity is zero</p>
|
|
165

<p begin="0:09:13.966" dur="0:00:03.667">so you have to look<br />for the derivative being zero.</p>
|
|
166
|
+
<p begin="0:09:17.633" dur="0:00:02.800">That means<br />the angle alpha being zero.</p>
|
|
167
|
+
<p begin="0:09:20.433" dur="0:00:02.433">Clearly, here the velocity<br />is zero.</p>

168

<p begin="0:09:22.866" dur="0:00:02.434">Right here,<br />at this turning point--</p>
|

169

<p begin="0:09:25.300" dur="0:00:03.400">that means when the object<br />is here-- it is zero.</p>
|
|
170

<p begin="0:09:28.700" dur="0:00:02.166">When the object is here</p>
|
|
171
|

<p begin="0:09:30.866" dur="0:00:02.034">it is again zero<br />at this moment in time.</p>
|
|
172
|
+
<p begin="0:09:32.900" dur="0:00:03.600">Again, the angle is zero,<br />and it is again zero here.</p>
|
|
173
|
+
<p begin="0:09:36.500" dur="0:00:03.433">So those are the times<br />that the velocity is zero.</p>
|
|
174
|
+
<p begin="0:09:39.933" dur="0:00:03.067">What are the times<br />that the velocity is positive?</p>
|
|
175
|

<p begin="0:09:43.000" dur="0:00:01.633">Well, it's positive here.</p>
|
|
176
|
+
<p begin="0:09:44.633" dur="0:00:01.800">The velocity's positive here</p>
|
|
177
|

<p begin="0:09:46.433" dur="0:00:02.667">still positive, positive,<br />becomes negative</p>

178

<p begin="0:09:49.100" dur="0:00:03.566">negative, positive,<br />zero, negative.</p>
|
|
179
|

<p begin="0:09:52.666" dur="0:00:05.600">So that's the definition<br />of v, instantaneous velocity.</p>
|
|
180
|

<p begin="0:10:00.100" dur="0:00:03.400">What is the instantaneous speed?</p>
|

181

<p begin="0:10:03.500" dur="0:00:03.533">Well, speed is<br />not sign-sensitive.</p>
|

182

<p begin="0:10:07.033" dur="0:00:05.000">Suppose that the velocity here--<br />just... I call that v1--</p>

<p begin="0:10:15.766" dur="0:00:03.767">I just grabbed this number<br />out of the blue.</p>

186

<p begin="0:10:24.033" dur="0:00:03.667">suppose that was<br />minus 100 meters per second.</p>
|
|
187

<p begin="0:10:27.700" dur="0:00:01.966">This is negative<br />and this is positive.</p>
|
|
188
|
+
<p begin="0:10:29.666" dur="0:00:02.067">Then we would have<br />to say, in physics--</p>
|
|
189
|
+
<p begin="0:10:31.733" dur="0:00:02.767">whether you like it or not,<br />it's not very pleasing--</p>
|
|
190

<p begin="0:10:34.500" dur="0:00:01.600">but you would have to say</p>
|
|
191
|
+
<p begin="0:10:36.100" dur="0:00:02.666">that this velocity<br />is lower than that one</p>
|
|
192
|

<p begin="0:10:38.766" dur="0:00:02.534">because minus 100<br />is lower than plus 30.</p>
|
|
193
|

<p begin="0:10:41.300" dur="0:00:03.633">But the speed, of course,<br />is higher here</p>
|
|
194
|
+
<p begin="0:10:44.933" dur="0:00:04.567">because the speed is<br />the magnitude of the velocity</p>
|
|
195
|

<p begin="0:10:49.500" dur="0:00:02.433">and is not sign-sensitive.</p>
|
|
196
|
+
<p begin="0:10:51.933" dur="0:00:03.267">So this has the highest speed,<br />of 100 meters per second</p>
|
|
197
|
+
<p begin="0:10:55.200" dur="0:00:01.633">and this has a lower speed</p>
|
|
198
|
+
<p begin="0:10:56.833" dur="0:00:01.933">but this has<br />the lowest velocity.</p>
|
|
199
|
+
<p begin="0:10:58.766" dur="0:00:01.767">It's just an algebraic game</p>
|
|
200
|
+
<p begin="0:11:00.533" dur="0:00:03.067">but very important<br />when you make your calculations.</p>
|
|
201
|
+
<p begin="0:11:05.433" dur="0:00:04.700">I have always wondered<br />what the average speed</p>
|

202
|

<p begin="0:11:10.133" dur="0:00:04.067">or the average velocity<br />is of a bullet.</p>

203

<p begin="0:11:14.200" dur="0:00:04.300">Now I want you to realize<br />I am not a fan of guns at all</p>
|
|
204
|

<p begin="0:11:18.500" dur="0:00:02.166">but it always intrigued me.</p>
|
|
205
|

<p begin="0:11:20.666" dur="0:00:03.867">How can I measure the average<br />speed of a bullet--</p>
|
|
206
|
+
<p begin="0:11:24.533" dur="0:00:03.367">and I have discussed it<br />with some people here--</p>
|
|
207
|
+
<p begin="0:11:27.900" dur="0:00:03.133">and we came up<br />with an easy way to do that.</p>
|
|
208
|
+
<p begin="0:11:31.033" dur="0:00:06.900">We have a wire, which goes<br />into the blackboards, wire I</p>
|
|
209
|
+
<p begin="0:11:37.933" dur="0:00:02.967">and we have<br />another wire that goes</p>
|
|
210
|
+
<p begin="0:11:40.900" dur="0:00:05.500">into the blackboards, wire II,<br />and the separation is D meters.</p>
|
|
211
|
+
<p begin="0:11:46.400" dur="0:00:02.000">We have to measure that.</p>
|
|
212
|
+
<p begin="0:11:48.400" dur="0:00:01.500">The set-up is here</p>
|
|
213
|
+
<p begin="0:11:49.900" dur="0:00:05.700">so this is wire number I<br />and this is wire number II.</p>
|
|
214
|
+
<p begin="0:11:55.600" dur="0:00:03.100">So you will see D<br />coming in like this,</p>
|
|
215
|
+
<p begin="0:11:58.700" dur="0:00:04.133">so I'll make this a I<br />and I'll make this a II.</p>
|
|
216
|
+
<p begin="0:12:02.833" dur="0:00:02.300">That's the way it's set up.</p>
|
|
217
|
+
<p begin="0:12:05.133" dur="0:00:03.433">And we fire the bullet,<br />which breaks this wire.</p>
|
|
218
|
+
<p begin="0:12:08.566" dur="0:00:02.434">At that moment, the timer starts</p>
|
|
219
|
+
<p begin="0:12:11.000" dur="0:00:04.533">and then it breaks this wire<br />and that's when the timer stops.</p>
|
|
220
|
+
<p begin="0:12:17.900" dur="0:00:03.133">Now, I told you<br />a measurement is meaningless</p>
|
|
221
|

<p begin="0:12:21.033" dur="0:00:04.133">without knowledge of the<br />uncertainty in your measurement.</p>
|
|
222
|
+
<p begin="0:12:27.133" dur="0:00:02.833">So there are<br />two uncertainties involved--</p>
|
|
223
|
+
<p begin="0:12:29.966" dur="0:00:02.767">the distance<br />and the timing uncertainty.</p>
|
|
224
|
+
<p begin="0:12:32.733" dur="0:00:05.733">This distance<br />I will measure for you, D.</p>
|
|
225
|

<p begin="0:12:38.466" dur="0:00:05.134">I have here a large ruler.</p>
|

226

<p begin="0:12:43.600" dur="0:00:02.466">Here's one wire,<br />here's the other wire.</p>
|

227

<p begin="0:12:46.066" dur="0:00:02.300">I cannot do that<br />any better, really</p>
|
|
228
|

<p begin="0:12:48.366" dur="0:00:02.100">than maybe even half<br />a centimeter</p>
|
|
229
|
+
<p begin="0:12:50.466" dur="0:00:02.967">because the situation<br />is not all that stable--</p>
|
|
230
|

<p begin="0:12:53.433" dur="0:00:03.933">I don't know what happens when<br />the bullet will hit the wire--</p>
|
|
231
|
+
<p begin="0:12:57.366" dur="0:00:04.934">so I would say<br />it is 148� centimeters</p>
|
|
232

<p begin="0:13:02.300" dur="0:00:07.266">but I cannot guarantee it to<br />better than half a centimeter--</p>

233

<p begin="0:13:09.566" dur="0:00:03.767">148� plus or minus<br />0.5 centimeters.</p>
|
|
234
|

<p begin="0:13:14.966" dur="0:00:02.000">I want you to appreciate</p>
|
|
235
|

<p begin="0:13:16.966" dur="0:00:03.500">that this is a very small<br />percentage error.</p>
|
|
236

<p begin="0:13:20.466" dur="0:00:02.900">This is only five parts<br />out of 1,500.</p>
|
|
237
|

<p begin="0:13:23.366" dur="0:00:01.867">That is one out of 300,</p>
|
|
238
|
+
<p begin="0:13:25.233" dur="0:00:03.333">so that is only<br />a one-third percent error.</p>
|
|
239
|

<p begin="0:13:28.566" dur="0:00:04.567">That's very small-- that's<br />what we call the relative error.</p>
|
|
240
|

<p begin="0:13:33.133" dur="0:00:02.500">Then I ask myself the question--</p>
|
|
241
|

<p begin="0:13:35.633" dur="0:00:04.367">I want to measure the accuracy<br />of the speed of the bullet</p>

242

<p begin="0:13:40.000" dur="0:00:01.666">to about two percent.</p>

243

<p begin="0:13:41.666" dur="0:00:01.334">That was my goal.</p>

<p begin="0:28:15.666" dur="0:00:04.234">Well, that's<br />the derivative dx/dt</p>
|
|
503
|
+
<p begin="0:28:19.900" dur="0:00:07.166">and I use the following--<br />x equals t to the power n.</p>
|
|
504
|
+
<p begin="0:28:27.066" dur="0:00:02.900">Then, as most<br />of you should know</p>
|
|
505
|
+
<p begin="0:28:29.966" dur="0:00:03.867">dx/dt is then n times t<br />to the power n minus one.</p>
|
|
506
|
+
<p begin="0:28:33.833" dur="0:00:01.733">That's all I'm using.</p>
|
|
507
|
+
<p begin="0:28:35.566" dur="0:00:03.400">So the derivative of eight<br />is zero.</p>
|
|
508
|
+
<p begin="0:28:38.966" dur="0:00:04.034">I get here minus six,<br />I get here plus 2t--</p>
|
|
509
|
+
<p begin="0:28:43.000" dur="0:00:03.633">this would be<br />in meters per second---</p>
|
|
510
|
+
<p begin="0:28:46.633" dur="0:00:01.933">and the acceleration...</p>
|
|
511
|

<p begin="0:28:48.566" dur="0:00:04.967">I have to take the derivative<br />of the velocity, I get plus two.</p>
|
|
512
|
+
<p begin="0:28:53.533" dur="0:00:02.600">So notice that the acceleration</p>
|
|
513
|
+
<p begin="0:28:56.133" dur="0:00:02.967">is constant in time,<br />is not changing</p>
|
|
514
|
+
<p begin="0:28:59.100" dur="0:00:02.700">but the velocity is changing.</p>
|
|
515
|
+
<p begin="0:29:01.800" dur="0:00:02.766">Well, at time t equals zero...</p>
|
|
516
|
+
<p begin="0:29:04.566" dur="0:00:03.667">just, I will start<br />to probe a little bit.</p>
|
|
517
|
+
<p begin="0:29:08.233" dur="0:00:04.867">I want to get a feeling<br />for what this object is doing.</p>
|
|
518
|
+
<p begin="0:29:13.100" dur="0:00:04.133">At time t equals zero,<br />x is plus eight</p>
|
|
519
|
+
<p begin="0:29:17.233" dur="0:00:04.733">The velocity is minus six<br />meters per second</p>
|
|
520
|
+
<p begin="0:29:21.966" dur="0:00:04.667">and the acceleration<br />equals plus two.</p>
|
|
521
|
+
<p begin="0:29:26.633" dur="0:00:05.900">I can also ask myself<br />at what time does x = 0?</p>
|
|
522
|
+
<p begin="0:29:32.533" dur="0:00:02.200">What are the times<br />that x is zero?</p>
|
|
523
|
+
<p begin="0:29:34.733" dur="0:00:03.133">Well, I have to solve<br />this second-order equation</p>
|
|
524
|
+
<p begin="0:29:37.866" dur="0:00:03.567">which is something that<br />you've all done in high school</p>
|
|
525
|
+
<p begin="0:29:41.433" dur="0:00:02.867">and you will find that<br />that's the case</p>
|
|
526
|
+
<p begin="0:29:44.300" dur="0:00:04.366">when the time is plus two<br />and when the time is plus four.</p>
|
|
527
|
+
<p begin="0:29:48.666" dur="0:00:06.700">Take the plus two...<br />that makes this four.</p>
|
|
528
|
+
<p begin="0:29:55.366" dur="0:00:02.934">4 + 8 = 12, minus 6 x 2,<br />that's 0.</p>
|
|
529
|
+
<p begin="0:29:58.300" dur="0:00:05.166">So you see the 2 works and<br />you check that the 4 also works.</p>
|
|
530
|
+
<p begin="0:30:05.700" dur="0:00:02.866">Just for my curiosity,<br />when is the velocity zero?</p>
|
|
531
|
+
<p begin="0:30:08.566" dur="0:00:01.034">Oh, that's easy--</p>
|
|
532
|
+
<p begin="0:30:09.600" dur="0:00:01.900">that's when this equation<br />is zero</p>
|
|
533
|
+
<p begin="0:30:11.500" dur="0:00:01.833">so that's when t equals three.</p>
|
|
534
|
+
<p begin="0:30:15.700" dur="0:00:02.300">What is, at that moment,<br />the position?</p>
|
|
535
|
+
<p begin="0:30:18.000" dur="0:00:02.500">Well, I substitute<br />t equals three in here</p>
|
|
536
|
+
<p begin="0:30:20.500" dur="0:00:02.400">and that gives me minus one.</p>
|
|
537
|
+
<p begin="0:30:22.900" dur="0:00:03.733">x = -1.</p>
|
|
538
|
+
<p begin="0:30:26.633" dur="0:00:05.367">So now I'm ready to plot x<br />as a function of t.</p>
|
|
539
|
+
<p begin="0:30:32.000" dur="0:00:02.300">It's, of course, a parabola</p>
|
|
540
|
+
<p begin="0:30:34.300" dur="0:00:04.433">and I use this information<br />that we have just derived.</p>
|
|
541
|
+
<p begin="0:30:38.733" dur="0:00:01.900">So here comes my plot.</p>
|
|
542
|
+
<p begin="0:30:44.800" dur="0:00:03.800">Let this be<br />increasing value of x</p>
|
|
543
|
+
<p begin="0:30:48.600" dur="0:00:05.166">let this be eight<br />and let this be minus one.</p>
|
|
544
|
+
<p begin="0:30:56.166" dur="0:00:02.200">This is the time axis.</p>
|
|
545
|
+
<p begin="0:30:58.366" dur="0:00:01.867">I have a zero here</p>
|
|
546
|
+
<p begin="0:31:00.233" dur="0:00:05.167">and so I want to cover,<br />let's say, about six seconds</p>
|
|
547
|
+
<p begin="0:31:05.400" dur="0:00:08.000">so I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.</p>
|
|
548
|
+
<p begin="0:31:16.766" dur="0:00:02.734">Now I am going to use<br />this information</p>
|
|
549
|
+
<p begin="0:31:19.500" dur="0:00:04.200">in order to give you a curve<br />which is similar to that one</p>
|
|
550
|

<p begin="0:31:23.700" dur="0:00:03.966">except this is a simple one--<br />this is just a parabola.</p>
|
|
551
|
+
<p begin="0:31:27.666" dur="0:00:03.900">So I know<br />that at time t equals zero</p>
|
|
552
|
+
<p begin="0:31:31.566" dur="0:00:03.600">the object is at position eight.</p>
|
|
553
|
+
<p begin="0:31:35.166" dur="0:00:04.267">I know that x is zero...<br />that x is zero</p>
|
|
554
|
+
<p begin="0:31:39.433" dur="0:00:02.767">at the time 2 and at the time 4</p>
|
|
555
|
+
<p begin="0:31:42.200" dur="0:00:04.600">so the object is here<br />at this time and at this time.</p>
|
|
556
|
+
<p begin="0:31:46.800" dur="0:00:04.433">And I know that<br />at time t equals three</p>
|
|
557
|

<p begin="0:31:51.233" dur="0:00:06.033">it is at position minus one,<br />so the object is here.</p>
|
|
558
|
+
<p begin="0:31:57.266" dur="0:00:03.167">And I also know<br />that the velocity is zero</p>
|
|
559
|

<p begin="0:32:00.433" dur="0:00:01.667">so we can check that.</p>
|
|
560
|
+
<p begin="0:32:02.100" dur="0:00:02.800">And so if I make this plot now</p>
|
|
561
|
+
<p begin="0:32:04.900" dur="0:00:04.633">then we would get a curve<br />that's sort of like this</p>
|
|
562

<p begin="0:32:09.533" dur="0:00:04.733">and yes, indeed, notice,<br />the velocity here is zero.</p>
|

563

566

<p begin="0:32:25.933" dur="0:00:04.967">You can see that-- the object<br />at t equals zero is here.</p>

567

<p begin="0:32:30.900" dur="0:00:02.600">This is where the object is,<br />I hope you realize that.</p>

<p begin="0:32:33.500" dur="0:00:01.266">The object is never here.</p>

569

573

<p begin="0:32:44.466" dur="0:00:02.067">the velocity must be<br />less than zero</p>

<p begin="0:32:46.533" dur="0:00:02.000">and indeed it is,<br />it's minus six.</p>
|

575

<p begin="0:32:48.533" dur="0:00:02.333">But there is the acceleration</p>

579

601

606

<p begin="0:34:13.900" dur="0:00:04.666">Then you really begin<br />to get it in your brains.</p>
|

607

<p begin="0:34:18.566" dur="0:00:05.200">I now would like to write down,<br />in most general form</p>

608

<p begin="0:34:23.766" dur="0:00:04.700">the equation for the position<br />and the velocity</p>

609

<p begin="0:34:28.466" dur="0:00:05.134">as a function of time<br />for a one-dimensional motion</p>

610

<p begin="0:34:33.600" dur="0:00:03.766">whereby the acceleration<br />is constant.</p>
|
|
611
|

<p begin="0:34:37.366" dur="0:00:02.634">So it's going to be<br />one-dimensional again</p>
|
|
612

<p begin="0:34:40.000" dur="0:00:02.733">and we have a is going<br />to be a constant.</p>
|
|
613

<p begin="0:34:42.733" dur="0:00:02.367">And so the equation<br />that I write down</p>

614

<p begin="0:34:45.100" dur="0:00:03.200">is the most general way<br />that I can write it down.</p>
|

615

<p begin="0:34:48.300" dur="0:00:05.933">So we're going to get<br />x equals some number C1</p>

616

<p begin="0:34:54.233" dur="0:00:06.867">plus some C2 times t,<br />plus some C3 times t squared.</p>

620

<p begin="0:35:07.933" dur="0:00:02.467">and here we had...<br />uh, what did we have?</p>

621

<p begin="0:35:10.400" dur="0:00:05.366">Minus... we had minus 6t<br />and we had plus 1t squared.</p>

622

<p begin="0:35:15.766" dur="0:00:06.367">So you recognize these three...<br />I can now take the derivative</p>
|
|
623

<p begin="0:35:22.133" dur="0:00:06.167">and so I get C2 plus 2C3<br />times t</p>

624

<p begin="0:35:28.300" dur="0:00:08.400">and then I get<br />the acceleration equals 2C3.</p>

625

<p begin="0:35:36.700" dur="0:00:06.066">And now we get some insight<br />into these quantities.</p>

626

<p begin="0:35:42.766" dur="0:00:04.567">Clearly, x1... C1<br />is the position of x</p>
