00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Linear Motion. |
00:05 | In this tutorial we will, Verify Newton's first law of motion using constant acceleration simulation. |
00:13 | Calculate position and velocity of a car using equations of motion. |
00:19 | Verify Newton's second law of motion using air track glider simulation. |
00:26 | Here I am using, Ubuntu Linux OS version 16.04.
Firefox Web Browser version 62.0.3. |
00:39 | To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with Apps on Physics. |
00:46 | For the pre-requisites tutorials please visit this site. |
00:51 | Use the given link to download the App. |
00:55 | I have already downloaded Apps on Physics to my Downloads folder. |
01:00 | In this tutorial we will use,
Motion with constant Acceleration and Newton's Second Law Experiment Apps |
01:10 | Double-click on html5phen folder. Double-click on the phen folder. |
01:17 | To open Motion with Constant Acceleration, press Ctrl + F keys simultaneously. |
01:24 | In the search bar type acceleration. |
01:28 | Right click on acceleration_en.htm file. |
01:33 | Select the option Open With Firefox web Browser. |
01:38 | Motion with constant Acceleration App opens in the browser. |
01:43 | Interface has two panels. |
01:46 | Green control panel contains text fields. |
01:50 | Here we can edit Initial position , Initial velocity and Acceleration. |
01:58 | At the bottom of the green panel there are two radio buttons. |
02:03 | Show velocity vector and Show acceleration vector.
By default Show velocity vector is selected. |
02:13 | On the yellow panel we have three digital clocks.
They show the elapsed time. |
02:20 | Here we can see a green and red coloured barriers. |
02:25 | Click on Start button. |
02:28 | Click the Slow motion check-box. |
02:31 | Observe that a car starts to move with a constant acceleration. |
02:37 | The default value for Acceleration is
1 m/s2 (meter per second square). |
02:42 | When the car crosses the green barrier with its front bumper, green digital clock stops. |
02:49 | Similarly when the car crosses the red barrier, the red digital clock stops. |
02:55 | Notice that car has moved out of the screen, but it is still in motion. |
03:01 | This is indicated by grey digital clock. |
03:05 | This clock shows the instantaneous time of the moving car. |
03:10 | Observe that, the values of x and v are changing continuously. |
03:16 | It means that the car is in uniform motion. |
03:20 | And it will continue to be in motion until an external force is applied.
This is due to Newton's first law of motion. |
03:30 | Click on the Pause button and uncheck the Slow motion check-box. |
03:36 | Let’s assume that by clicking Pause button we have applied an external force on the car. |
03:43 | Notice that the grey digital clock has stopped. |
03:47 | It means that car has stopped moving. |
03:51 | Click on the Reset button. |
03:54 | Let's change the Initial position to 5 meter and press Enter. |
03:59 | Change the Initial velocity to 5 m/s (meter per second) and press Enter. |
04:04 | And value of Acceleration to 2 m/s2 (meter per second square) and press Enter. |
04:10 | Observe the Position v/s time and Velocity v/s time graphs. |
04:15 | The red point in the Position v/s time graph has shifted from 0 meter to 5 meter. |
04:22 | The pink point in the Velocity v/s time graph has shifted from 0 m/s to 5 m/s. |
04:30 | Notice the shift in blue point in Acceleration v/s time graph. |
04:35 | Click on the Start button. |
04:38 | And then click on the Pause button when car touches the red barrier. |
04:43 | Observe that the pink colored vector shows the direction of velocity. |
04:48 | Now let us study the variations in each graph. |
04:52 | Observe the Acceleration v/s time graph. |
04:56 | It shows a straight line parallel to the time axis. |
05:00 | As time changes acceleration remains constant. |
05:05 | Observe the Velocity v/s time graph.
Note that velocity increases linearly with time. |
05:12 | Look at the Position v/s time graph. |
05:16 | This graph is exponentially increasing, due to the change in position and velocity of the car. |
05:23 | Let us verify the values of position and velocity using equations of motion. |
05:30 | Here are the Equations of motion. |
05:33 | We will note the measured and calculated values in the table. |
05:39 | Next we will use both green and red barrier to measure position and velocity. |
05:45 | Click and drag the green barrier to 15 meter. |
05:49 | Similarly drag the red barrier to 40 meter. |
05:53 | Click on the Start button and then Pause when it touches the green barrier. |
05:59 | Note that the App has measured the values of position and velocity. |
06:05 | Let us calculate velocity using the first equation of motion. |
06:11 | Substitute the values of acceleration, time and initial velocity shown in the App in the equation. |
06:19 | 8.06 m/s is the calculated value of the velocity. |
06:25 | Let us calculate the position using the second equation of motion. |
06:30 | Similarly substitute the values shown in the App. |
06:34 | 14.99 meter is the calculated value of the position. |
06:40 | Observe that the values of position and velocity are approximately equal to the measured values. |
06:48 | Note the calculated and measured values in the table. |
06:52 | As an assignment
Measure the position and velocity when the car reaches the red barrier. |
06:59 | Calculate the values using Equations of motion. |
07:03 | Complete the table and compare your answers with the ones shown in the App. |
07:09 | Now we will explore the next App. |
07:12 | To open Newton's Second Law Experiment App, Right click on the newtonlaw2_en.htm file and Open With Firefox Web Browser. |
07:24 | Using this App we will verify the Newton's second law. |
07:29 | The App opens with air track glider setup. |
07:33 | The screen shows a wagon on the air track. |
07:37 | Here digital clock is used to record the time when wagon crosses the LB.
LB is the light barrier. |
07:46 | The graph records position v/s time data. |
07:51 | In the green control panel we can vary
Mass of the wagon , Hanging mass and Coefficient of friction. |
08:00 | The default Mass of the wagon is 100 g.
It can take values from 1 g to 1000 g |
08:09 | Scroll down the screen. |
08:12 | Here we have the formula used in this experiment. |
08:16 | By default, motion with constant acceleration is used in the App. |
08:22 | Click on the Start button. |
08:25 | This button is a toggle for Start and Record data. |
08:29 | Observe that the hanging mass pulls the wagon downwards. |
08:34 | Default value of the Hanging mass is 1 gram, it takes values from 1 gram to 100 grams. |
08:42 | Here digital clock notes the time when the wagon crosses the LB. |
08:47 | The distance from the start to LB is shown as 0.5 meter. |
08:53 | The App has calculated the acceleration using the formula 2s/t2(2s upon t square). |
08:59 | The calculated value of acceleration is 0.097 m/s2. |
09:06 | Click on the Reset button. |
09:09 | Click and drag the LB to the left on second black rectangle. |
09:14 | Click on the Start button. |
09:17 | Notice that here also the value of acceleration is 0.097 m/s2. |
09:25 | Click on the Record data button.
The values are recorded in the Data box. |
09:32 | Observe that the Diagram button is inactive. |
09:36 | It becomes active when at least four values are recorded in the Data box. |
09:42 | Again click and drag the LB to second green rectangle. |
09:47 | Click on the Start button and then click on Record data button. |
09:53 | Similarly take four more readings for distance and time and record in the Data box. |
10:00 | In the Data box, readings of six different distances have been recorded. |
10:06 | Observe the plotted points for position and time in the graph. |
10:11 | Diagram button is now active.
Click on the Diagram button to plot the graph. |
10:18 | An exponential graph appears on the screen. |
10:22 | Notice that, acceleration remains same for all the distances. |
10:27 | It means that change in distance does not change the acceleration. |
10:33 | According to Newton's second law the acceleration depends on the mass of the wagon. |
10:39 | Click on the Reset button. |
10:42 | Now change the Mass of the wagon to 300 g. |
10:46 | Click on Start button. |
10:49 | Notice the change in the acceleration. |
10:52 | The value of acceleration has changed to 0.033 m/s2. |
10:59 | Click on the Reset button. |
11:02 | Now let us change the value of Hanging mass to 4 g. |
11:07 | Click on Start button. |
11:11 | Notice the change in the acceleration. The value of acceleration has changed to 0.129 m/s2. |
11:21 | Recall that acceleration depends on mass of the wagon and the hanging mass. |
11:28 | Let us make a tabular column to note the values. |
11:33 | As an assignment
Change the values of mass of the wagon and note the changes in acceleration. |
11:41 | For each value of mass of the wagon change the value of the Hanging mass. |
11:47 | Observe the difference in the acceleration. |
11:51 | Your completed assignment should look like this. |
