Lesson topic: “Acceleration. Rectilinear motion with constant acceleration

In this lesson, the topic of which is: “The equation of motion with constant acceleration. Progressive movement”, we will remember what movement is, how it happens. We also recall what acceleration is, consider the equation of motion with constant acceleration and how to use it to determine the coordinates of a moving body. Let's consider an example of a problem for fixing the material.

The main task of kinematics is to determine the position of the body at any time. The body can rest, then its position will not change (see Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Body at rest

A body can move in a straight line at a constant speed. Then its displacement will change uniformly, that is, equally in equal time intervals (see Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Movement of the body when moving at a constant speed

Movement, speed multiplied by time, we have been able to do this for a long time. The body can move with constant acceleration, consider such a case (see Fig. 3).

Rice. 3. Body motion with constant acceleration

Acceleration

Acceleration is the change in speed per unit of time(see fig. 4) :

Rice. 4. Acceleration

Speed ​​is a vector quantity, therefore, the change in speed, i.e., the difference between the vectors of the final and initial speed, is a vector. Acceleration is also a vector directed in the same direction as the velocity difference vector (see Fig. 5).

We are considering a rectilinear motion, so we can choose a coordinate axis along the straight line along which the motion occurs, and consider the projections of the velocity and acceleration vectors on this axis:

Then its speed uniformly changes: (if its initial speed was equal to zero). How to find the move now? Multiplying speed by time is impossible: the speed was constantly changing; which one to take? How to determine where the body will be at any time during such a movement - today we will solve this problem.

Let's immediately define the model: we are considering a rectilinear translational motion of the body. In this case, we can apply the material point model. The acceleration is directed along the same straight line along which the material point moves (see Fig. 6).

translational movement

Translational motion is such a motion in which all points of the body move in the same way: at the same speed, making the same movement (see Fig. 7).

Rice. 7. Forward movement

How else can it be? Wave your hand and follow: it is clear that the palm and shoulder moved differently. Look at the Ferris wheel: points near the axis hardly move, and the booths move at a different speed and along different trajectories (see Fig. 8).

Rice. 8. Movement of selected points on the Ferris wheel

Look at a moving car: if you do not take into account the rotation of the wheels and the movement of parts of the motor, all points of the car move in the same way, we consider the movement of the car to be translational (see Fig. 9).

Rice. 9. Vehicle movement

Then it makes no sense to describe the movement of each point, you can describe the movement of one. The car is considered a material point. Please note that during translational movement, the line connecting any two points of the body during movement remains parallel to itself (see Fig. 10).

Rice. 10. The position of the line connecting two points

The car drove straight for an hour. At the beginning of the hour, his speed was 10 km/h, and at the end - 100 km/h (see Fig. 11).

Rice. 11. Drawing for the problem

The speed changed uniformly. How many kilometers has the car traveled?

Let's analyze the condition of the problem.

The speed of the car changed uniformly, that is, its acceleration was constant throughout the journey. Acceleration is by definition equal to:

The car was driving in a straight line, so we can consider its movement in the projection on one coordinate axis:

Let's find a move.

Increasing Speed ​​Example

Nuts are placed on the table, one nut per minute. It is clear: how many minutes pass, so many nuts will be on the table. Now let's imagine that the speed of putting nuts increases evenly from zero: no nuts are put in the first minute, one nut is put in the second, then two, three, and so on. How many nuts will be on the table after some time? It is clear that it is less than if the maximum speed was always maintained. Moreover, it is clearly seen that it is less than 2 times (see Fig. 12).

Rice. 12. The number of nuts at different laying speeds

It is the same with uniformly accelerated motion: let's say that at first the speed was equal to zero, at the end it became equal (see Fig. 13).

Rice. 13. Speed ​​change

If the body were constantly moving at such a speed, its displacement would be equal, but since the speed increased uniformly, it would be 2 times less.

We are able to find the displacement with UNIFORM motion: . How to get around this problem? If the speed does not change much, then the movement can be approximately considered uniform. The change in speed will be small over a short period of time (see Fig. 14).

Rice. 14. Speed ​​change

Therefore, we divide the travel time T into N small segments of duration (see Fig. 15).

Rice. 15. Splitting a segment of time

Let's calculate the displacement at each time interval. The speed increases at each interval by:

On each segment, we will consider the movement to be uniform and the speed approximately equal to the initial speed on the given time interval. Let's see if our approximation does not lead to an error if we assume that the motion is uniform over a small interval. The maximum error will be:

and the total error for the entire journey -> . For large N, we assume that the error is close to zero. We will see this on the graph (see Fig. 16): there will be an error on each interval, but the total error for a sufficiently large number of intervals will be negligible.

Rice. 16. Error on intervals

So, each next speed value is one and the same value greater than the previous one. We know from algebra that this is an arithmetic progression with a progression difference:

The path on the sections (with uniform rectilinear motion (see Fig. 17) is equal to:


Rice. 17. Consideration of areas of body movement

On the second section:

On the nth section, the path is equal to:

Arithmetic progression

Arithmetic progression such a numerical sequence is called in which each subsequent number differs from the previous one by the same amount. An arithmetic progression is given by two parameters: the initial term of the progression and the difference of the progression. Then the sequence is written like this:

The sum of the first terms of an arithmetic progression is calculated by the formula:

Let's sum up all the paths. This will be the sum of the first N members of the arithmetic progression:

Since we have divided the movement into many intervals, we can assume that , then:

We had a lot of formulas, and in order not to get confused, we did not write x indices each time, but considered everything in projection onto the coordinate axis.

So, we have obtained the main formula of uniformly accelerated motion: displacement with uniformly accelerated motion in time T, which we, along with the definition of acceleration (change in speed per unit time), will use to solve problems:

We were working on a car problem. Substitute the numbers into the solution and get the answer: the car drove 55.4 km.

Mathematical part of the problem solution

We have dealt with movement. And how to determine the coordinate of the body at any time?

By definition, the movement of a body in time is a vector whose beginning is at the starting point of the movement, and whose end is at the end point where the body will be in time. We need to find the coordinate of the body, so we write an expression for the projection of the displacement onto the coordinate axis (see Fig. 18):

Rice. 18. Movement projection

Let's express the coordinate:

That is, the coordinate of the body at the moment of time is equal to the initial coordinate plus the projection of the movement that the body made during the time . We have already found the projection of displacement during uniformly accelerated motion, it remains to substitute and write down:

This is the equation of motion with constant acceleration. It allows you to find out the coordinate of a moving material point at any time. It is clear that we choose the moment of time within the interval when the model works: the acceleration is constant, the movement is rectilinear.

Why the equation of motion cannot be used to find a path

In what cases can we consider modulo movement to be equal to the path? When a body moves along a straight line and does not change direction. For example, with uniform rectilinear motion, we do not always clearly stipulate whether we find the path or the movement, they still coincide.

With uniformly accelerated motion, the speed changes. If the speed and acceleration are directed in opposite directions (see Fig. 19), then the speed modulus decreases, and at some point it will become zero and the speed will change direction, that is, the body will start moving in the opposite direction.

Rice. 19. Velocity modulus decreases

And then, if in this moment time the body is at a distance of 3 m from the beginning of the observation, then its displacement is 3 m, but if the body first passed 5 m, then turned around and passed another 2 m, then the path will be 7 m. And how to find it if you don’t know these numbers? You just need to find the moment when the speed is zero, that is, when the body turns around, and find the path to and from this point (see Fig. 20).

Rice. 20. The moment when the speed is 0

Motion with constant acceleration is a motion in which the acceleration vector remains constant both in magnitude and in direction. An example of this type of movement is the movement of a point in the field of gravity (both vertically and at an angle to the horizon).

Kinematics is the study of classical mechanical motion in physics. Unlike dynamics, science studies why bodies move. She answers the question of how they do it. In this article, we will consider what acceleration and movement with constant acceleration are.

The concept of acceleration

When a body moves in space, in some time it overcomes a certain path, which is the length of the trajectory. To calculate this path, use the concepts of speed and acceleration.

Speed ​​as a physical quantity characterizes the speed of change in time of the distance traveled. The speed is directed tangentially to the trajectory in the direction of body movement.

Acceleration is a slightly more complex quantity. In short, it describes the change in speed at a given point in time. The math looks like this:

To understand this formula more clearly, let's give a simple example: suppose that in 1 second of motion the body's speed increased by 1 m/s. These figures, substituted into the expression above, lead to the result: the acceleration of the body during this second was equal to 1 m/s 2 .

The direction of acceleration is completely independent of the direction of velocity. Its vector coincides with the vector of the resultant force that causes this acceleration.

An important point in the above definition of acceleration should be noted. This value characterizes not only the change in speed modulo, but also in direction. The latter fact should be taken into account in the case of curvilinear motion. Further in the article only rectilinear motion will be considered.

Speed ​​when moving with constant acceleration

Acceleration is constant if it retains its modulus and direction during motion. Such a motion is called uniformly accelerated or uniformly slowed down - it all depends on whether the acceleration leads to an increase in speed or to its decrease.

In the case of a body moving with constant acceleration, the speed can be determined by one of the following formulas:

The first two equations characterize uniformly accelerated movement. The difference between them is that the second expression is applicable for the case of a non-zero initial velocity.

The third equation is an expression for the speed at uniformly slow motion with constant acceleration. The acceleration is directed against the speed.

The graphs of all three functions v(t) are straight lines. In the first two cases, the straight lines have a positive slope relative to the x-axis, in the third case this slope is negative.

Distance formulas

For a path in the case of movement with a constant acceleration (acceleration a = const), it is not difficult to obtain formulas if you calculate the integral of the speed over time. Having done this mathematical operation for the above three equations, we get the following expressions for the path L:

L \u003d v 0 * t + a * t 2 / 2;

L \u003d v 0 * t - a * t 2 / 2.

The graphs of all three path-time functions are parabolas. In the first two cases, the right branch of the parabola increases, and for the third function it gradually reaches a certain constant, which corresponds to the distance traveled until the body stops completely.

The solution of the problem

Moving at a speed of 30 km / h, the car began to accelerate. In 30 seconds he walked a distance of 600 meters. What was the acceleration of the car?

First of all, let's convert the initial speed from km/h to m/s:

v 0 \u003d 30 km / h \u003d 30000/3600 \u003d 8.333 m / s.

Now we write the equation of motion:

L \u003d v 0 *t + a*t 2 /2.

From this equality, we express the acceleration, we get:

a = 2*(L - v 0 *t)/t 2 .

All physical quantities in this equation are known from the conditions of the problem. We substitute them into the formula and get the answer: a ≈ 0.78 m / s 2. Thus, moving with a constant acceleration, the car increased its speed by 0.78 m/s every second.

We also calculate (for interest) what speed he acquired after 30 seconds of accelerated movement, we get:

v \u003d v 0 + a * t \u003d 8.333 + 0.78 * 30 \u003d 31.733 m / s.

The resulting speed is 114.2 km/h.

3. Learning new material.

Plan for presenting new material:

1. Instantaneous speed.

2. Acceleration.

3. Speed ​​in rectilinear uniformly accelerated motion.

1. Instantaneous speed. If the speed of the body changes with time, to describe the movement, you need to know what the speed of the body is at a given time (or at a given point in the trajectory). This speed is called instantaneous speed.

You can also say that the instantaneous speed is the average speed over a very small interval of time. When driving at a variable speed, the average speed measured over different time intervals will be different.

However, if smaller and smaller time intervals are taken when measuring the average speed, the value of the average speed will tend to some specific value. This is the instantaneous speed at a given time. In the future, speaking of the speed of a body, we will mean its instantaneous speed.

2. Acceleration. With uneven movement, the instantaneous speed of the body is a variable; it is different in modulus and (or) in direction at different moments of time and at different points of the trajectory. All car and motorcycle speedometers show us only the instantaneous speed module.

If the instantaneous speed of non-uniform movement changes unequally over the same time intervals, then it is very difficult to calculate it.

Such complex uneven movements are not studied at school. Therefore, we will consider only the simplest non-uniform motion - uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion.

Rectilinear motion, in which the instantaneous speed changes in the same way for any equal time intervals, is called uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion.

If the speed of a body changes as it moves, the question arises: what is the “rate of change of speed”? This quantity, called acceleration, plays the most important role in all mechanics: we will soon see that the acceleration of a body is determined by the forces acting on this body.

Acceleration is the ratio of a change in the speed of a body to the time interval during which this change occurred.

Unit of acceleration in SI: m/s 2 .

If a body moves in one direction with an acceleration of 1 m/s 2, its speed changes every second by 1 m/s.

The term "acceleration" is used in physics when it comes to any change in speed, including when the modulus of speed decreases or when the modulus of speed remains unchanged and the speed changes only in direction.

3. Speed ​​in rectilinear uniformly accelerated motion.

It follows from the definition of acceleration that v = v 0 + at.

If we direct the x-axis along the straight line along which the body moves, then in projections onto the x-axis we get v x \u003d v 0 x + a x t.

Thus, in a rectilinear uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity projection linearly depends on time. This means that the graph of v x (t) is a straight line segment.
