Announcements 9 1 09 1 Welcome to Physics 105 o I m Dr Colton Introductory Stuff Syllabus Course objectives pg 3 Schedule pg 1 2 Answers to two common questions o The Physics 107 Lab is completely separate from this course since it s not required for all majors I know practically nothing about it o There is no Blackboard site for this class Instead we ll use my own website details later 3 We ll go over the syllabus shortly Make a note of these corrections though o Wed office hours changed now Wed 2 30 4 pm Fri still 3 30 5 pm o Page 3 printing error look for it after page 6 Reading assignments for other editions pg 2 Grading pg 4 4 As most of you have found out already I send out periodic class wide emails via Route Y Make sure your email address there is current Colton Lecture

bus going the slowest not counting stops Where is it going the fastest When is it moving to the right When is it moving left Colton Lecture 1 pg 5 Colton Lecture 1 pg 6 Clicker quiz Nancy initially at point P in the illustration stays there a moment and then moves along the axis to Q and stays there a moment She then runs quickly to R stays there a moment and then strolls slowly back to P Which of the x t graphs below correctly represents this motion Position vs Displacement Position where something is located often labeled by x Displacement a change in position often labeled by x x xf x0 f final 0 initial pronounced naught What do we mean by position Being on the right left side of the origin What do we mean by displacement Has shifted to the right or left A B D E C Question what was Nancy s total change in position ambiguous Colton Lecture 1 pg 7 Clicker quiz What was Nancy s total displacement d 2 a 4 e 4 b 2 c 0 Clicker quiz What was Nancy s total distance traveled d 2 a 4 e 4 b 2 c 0 Colton Lecture 1 pg 8 Clicker quiz An object goes from one point in space to another After it arrives at its destination its displacement is compared to the distance traveled a either greater than or equal to b always greater than c always equal to d either smaller than or equal to e always smaller than Speed vs Velocity Hint draw a picture of some random path Slope velocity rate of change of position average velocity vave sometimes written v must always specify the time interval start end times Speed vs velocity are they the same thing Question A race car driver does 100 laps of a circular track at a constant 200 mph What was his average speed What was his average velocity Colton Lecture 1 pg 9 Problem On the Tour de Provo bicyclists ride straight south for 3 hours at 8 km hr rest for 2 hours then continue their ride south down a mountain for 1 hour at 20 km hr What is their average velocity for the morning From Problem Solving section of syllabus PEANuT Picture Equations
