1 One-Dim-Motion Solution

The document outlines a problem set for a Physics course focused on natural science for the winter semester 2023/2024. It includes questions about the nature of temperature and velocity, the determination of position in one dimension, and tasks related to position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs. Additionally, it prompts students to discuss the effects of forces on motion and the changes in velocity over time without external forces.

Physics for Natural Science WS 23/24

Problem set 1

1) Why is temperature a scalar and velocity a vector? (1P)


2) How many coordinates are needed to uniquely determine a position and can one of these coordinates
be negative (if yes, explain in one sentence why)? (1P)
3) Imagine a problem, where an object is moving in 1 dimension. An example would be a ball thrown
vertically in the air. In this case, you need just one spatial coordinate (1-dimention in space).
a) Below is the position-time graph for the object. Take a small ball and move the ball according to the
position-time graph. The time for the starting position is t0. For which of the times, t1 or t2 is the ball i)
closest to its starting position ii) furthest away from its starting position? (2P)

b) Which of the following velocity-time graphs shows the motion of the ball? (2P)

c) Draw the acceleration-time graph for the ball. (2P)


d) Make a rough guess what mathematical function describes the position-time graph. Once done write
down the corresponding mathematical functions for the velocity and acceleration. (2P)
e) We did not speak about forces in the lecture. However, just explain from your current understanding
of a force, if you think that a force is acting on the object to make the movement. (1P)
4) Imagine an object that has a velocity v at time t=0 and no forces are acting on it. How does the
velocity change over time? (No need that the answer is correct. The main thing is that you argue from
your understanding of forces and your experience with the motion of objects) (1P)
