Average Velocity

平均速度は、オブジェクトが時間とともに移動する速度を示し、2 つのポイント間の合計変位をそれらの間の移動にかかった時間で割ったものとして定義されます。
たとえば、p1 と p2 が時間 t1 と t2 におけるオブジェクトの位置である場合、平均 x-速度は Δx を Δt.平均速度はベクトル量であり、変位が正か負かに応じて正または負になる可能性があることに注意してください。
位置対時間グラフは、オブジェクトが時間とともに位置をどのように変化するかを図式的に表す方法です。X軸に時間を、Y軸に位置をプロットします。したがって、オブジェクトの平均 x 速度は、線 p1, p2 の傾きに等しくなります。
平均速度は、物体が移動した合計距離を距離を完了するのにかかった時間で割ったものとして定義されます。平均速度とは異なり、スカラー量です。

平均速度

運動学における他の物理量を計算するには、時間変数を導入する必要があります。 時間変数を使用すると、物体の運動中の位置だけでなく、物体の移動速度も知ることができます。 物体の移動速度は、位置が時間とともに変化する速さで表されます。 各位置 xi に、対応する時間 ti を割り当てます。 各瞬間の動きの詳細が重要でない場合、速度は通常、平均速度として表されます。 このベクトル量は、単純に 2 点間の合計変位 x を、それらの間の移動にかかる時間 t で割ったものです。 平均速度はベクトルであり、初期位置と最終位置に応じて正または負の値になります。 平均速度の式は以下のように表されます

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/12617/12617_Equation_1.png" style="height: 35px;" />

一方、平均速度は総移動距離を経過時間で割ったもので、平均速度の大きさとは必ずしも一致するわけではありません。たとえば、旅行の開始と終了が同じ場所である場合、総変位はゼロになるため、平均速度はゼロになります。 ただし、総移動距離は 0 より大きいため、平均速度は 0 ではありません。 例えば、300 km のロードトリップに出かけ、特定の時間に目的地に到着する必要がある場合、平均速度が重要になります。車の走行距離計は、総走行距離を測定します。 したがって、車が移動した合計距離を合計時間で割ると、車の平均速度が求められます。

たとえば、上海リニアモーターカーは、龍陽路から浦東国際空港まで 30 km の距離を結びます。 所要時間は平均 8 分です。 リニアモーターカーの平均速度はどのくらいでしょうか？



既知の量は距離と時間です。 未知の量である平均速度は、合計距離を時間で割ったものです。 したがって、リニアモーターカーの平均速度は 225 km/時です。

average velocity and average speed

Average velocity and average speed help describe motion in kinematics. To compare motion over time, we use the time variable. Time lets us track an object’s position and how fast that position changes.

For motion between two points, each position x_i is paired with a time t_i. When the details of motion at each instant are not important, we use average velocity. Average velocity is a vector quantity, so it includes direction. It is found by dividing total displacement, Δx, by the time interval, Δt.

Because it is a vector, average velocity can be positive or negative. The sign depends on the object’s initial and final positions. Average speed is different. It is the total distance traveled divided by the elapsed time, so it is not necessarily the same as the magnitude of average velocity.

A round trip shows the difference clearly. If an object starts and ends at the same place, its total displacement is zero, so its average velocity is zero. Its average speed is not zero, because the total distance traveled is still greater than zero. On a road trip of 300 km, average speed is the quantity that matters if you need to reach a destination by a certain time. A car’s odometer measures total distance traveled, so dividing that distance by total time gives the car’s average speed.

The Shanghai Maglev train gives another example. It travels from Longyang Road to Pudong International Airport over a distance of 30 km. The trip takes about 8 minutes on average. Using the distance and time, the train’s average velocity is 225 km/hr.

Average Velocity and Average Speed

position and displacement

Reference Frames and Motion in a Line

Position in straight-line motion depends on a frame of reference. A frame of reference is an arbitrary set of axes used to describe an object’s position and motion. It gives meaning to where something is located at a particular time. Earth is often used as the reference frame. In that case, we describe an object’s position relative to stationary objects on Earth. A rocket launch can be described this way. A cyclist’s position can also be described relative to the buildings they pass. <br...

instantaneous velocity - i

Instantaneous Speed and Direction

Instantaneous velocity describes how fast an object is moving at a specific instant. It gives the motion of a particle at one point in time or at one point along its path. Average velocity over a time interval cannot show this level of detail. Instantaneous velocity, often written as v x , is the limit of average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero. It can also be found as the derivative of x with respect to t . Like average velocity, it is a vector with dimensions of length per unit...

instantaneous velocity - ii

Instantaneous Velocity from Position Graphs

Instantaneous velocity describes how fast an object is moving at a specific moment along its path. It is the limit of average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero. It can also be written as the derivative of displacement with respect to time. Like average velocity, instantaneous velocity is a vector, so it has both size and direction. Its units are length per unit time. Instantaneous velocity can be positive or negative. A position-time graph can show it at any point on the motion...

average acceleration

Average Acceleration and Velocity Change

Average acceleration describes how velocity changes over time. In physics, acceleration is not just about speeding up. It also includes slowing down and changing direction. Since velocity is a vector, it has both magnitude and direction. A change in velocity can come from a change in speed, a change in direction, or both. For example, a runner may travel at 10 km/h due east, stop, reverse direction, and then continue at 10 km/h due west. Even though the speed is the same, the velocity has...

instantaneous acceleration

Negative Acceleration and Instant Speed Change

Acceleration shows how velocity changes, and it does not always point in the same direction as motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration points opposite to its motion. This is often called deceleration, but that term can cause confusion because deceleration is not a vector and does not point in a specific direction in a coordinate system. A subway train is a simple example. When the train slows down, it is still accelerating, but the acceleration points opposite to the direction it...

kinematic equations - i

Velocity from Constant Acceleration

Velocity from constant acceleration shows how an object’s speed and direction change when the acceleration stays the same. The first kinematic equation connects initial velocity, acceleration, and time for motion with constant acceleration. It helps describe how velocity changes at a steady rate throughout the motion. The equation matches common sense in several cases. If acceleration is zero, the final velocity is the same as the initial velocity, so the object keeps a constant velocity. If...

kinematic equations - ii

Using the Second Kinematic Equation

The second kinematic equation relates an object’s final position to its initial position, its starting velocity, and the extra distance gained as velocity changes. It is used only when acceleration stays constant during the motion. That makes it useful for straight-line motion problems with a steady rate of acceleration. A car merging onto a 200 m freeway ramp is a good example. In the example, the car starts at 10 m/s and accelerates at 2 m/s². The known values are the distance, the initial...

kinematic equations - iii

Constant-Acceleration Kinematics Formulas

Constant-acceleration kinematics formulas connect an object’s motion when acceleration stays the same. They help describe how velocity and position change over time. These equations are useful for solving motion problems and for understanding the relationships among distance, time, velocity, and acceleration. The third kinematic equation does not use time as a variable. Instead, it gives final velocity in terms of acceleration and the distance over which that acceleration acts. The fourth...

kinematic equations: problem solving

Solving Constant Acceleration Motion Problems

Solving one-dimensional motion problems with constant acceleration starts with identifying the known quantities and choosing the right kinematic equation. A kinematic equation is a motion formula that relates displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. Depending on what is known and unknown, you may need one equation or two equations to find the answer. In many problems, the number of equations needed matches the number of unknowns. Two-body pursuit problems are different. They always...

free-falling bodies: introduction

Gravity and Free-Fall Motion

Gravity and free-fall motion explain how objects move when only Earth’s gravity acts on them. In free-fall, the motion is caused by gravitational force, and air resistance is neglected. This means the object accelerates toward Earth’s center. This result is surprising because everyday experience includes friction and air resistance. We often expect lighter objects to fall more slowly than heavier ones. People held that idea until Galileo Galilei proved that mass does not change the...

free-falling bodies: example

Gravity-Driven Free Fall Motion

Gravity-driven free fall motion is the motion of an object when gravity is the only force acting on it and air resistance is absent. In this case, the object is in free-fall. The acceleration due to gravity stays constant, no matter how much the object weighs. Free-fall is not limited to objects moving straight down. It also includes motion that is affected only by gravity. Because the acceleration is constant, the motion can be described with kinematic equations. Objects dropped from the...

velocity-and-position-by-graphical-method

Acceleration Graphs for Motion Prediction

Acceleration graphs can be used to find velocity and position over time. The area under an acceleration-time graph gives the change in velocity. The area under a velocity-time graph gives the change in position, or displacement. A real example is an airplane using an inertial navigation system. Before takeoff, the pilot enters the airplane’s initial position and velocity. The system then uses acceleration data to calculate the airplane’s velocity and position during flight. When acceleration...

velocity and position by integral method

Finding Motion from Acceleration Data

Velocity and position can be found from acceleration using integral calculus. When acceleration is known as a function of time, the velocity function comes from integrating acceleration. The position function then comes from integrating velocity. For constant acceleration, these integral steps match the first and second kinematic equations for velocity and position. The example in this lesson uses a motorboat that is moving at 5.0 m/s and then begins to slow down as it approaches the dock. Its...
