MOTION UNDER A CONSTANT FORCE

MOTION WITH A CONSTANT ACCELERATION

Rossana Viola e Maria Bortoluzzi

VOCABULARY:

• Velocity : vettore velocità.

• Speed : modulo del vettore velocità.

• Grade : pendenza di una retta in un sistema di riferimento (piano cartesiano) • Air-bearing rail: rotaia a cuscinetto d’aria.

they are difficult motions to describe because of their

irregular

speed variations !

Rossana Viola e Maria Bortoluzzi

There is a

natural

motion in which speed variation in time is almost

regular

:

it’s the motion of drop of a body close to the earth’s surface

It may be described in a simple enough way!

Rossana Viola e Maria Bortoluzzi

• In figure a sphere drop is represented.

• It has been photographed at equal intervals  t= 0.05 s.

• In following intervals  t the distance covered by the sphere

is not

constant but it

progressively increases .
