Kinematics in One Dimension
The Cheetah: A cat that is built for speed. Its strength and agility allow it to sustain a top speed of over 100 km/h. Such speeds can only be maintained for about ten seconds.
Distance and Displacement
Distance is the length of the actual path taken by an object. Consider travel from point A to point B in diagram below:
Distance is the length of the actual path taken by an object. Consider travel from point A to point B in diagram below:

Bd = 20 m
Distance d is a scalar quantity (no direction):Contains magnitude only and consists of a number and a unit.
Distance and Displacement
Displacement is the straight-line separation of two points in a specified direction.
Displacement is the straight-line separation of two points in a specified direction.
A vector quantity:

Distance and Displacement
• For motion along x or y axis, the displacement is determined by the x or y coordinate of its final position. Example: Consider a car that travels 8 m, E then 12 m, W.
• For motion along x or y axis, the displacement is determined by the x or y coordinate of its final position. Example: Consider a car that travels 8 m, E then 12 m, W.
Net displacement Δx is from the origin to the final position:

Average Speed and Instantaneous Velocity
The instantaneous velocity is the magn-itude and direction of the velocity at a par-ticular instant. (v at point C)

Example 1. A runner runs 200 m, east, then changes direction and runs 300 m, west. If the entire trip takes 60 s, what is the average speed and what is the average velocity?
Recall that average speed is a function only of total distance and total time:Total distance: s = 200 m + 300 m = 500 m 500 m

Avg. speed= 8 m/s Direction does not matter!
start
s1 = 200 m
s2 = 300 m
Example 1 (Cont.) Now we find the average velocity, which is the net displacement divided by time. In this case, the direction matters.
xo = 0
t = 60 sx1= +200
mx = -100 m
xo = 0 m; x = -100 m Direction of final
displacement is to the left as shown.
Average velocity:
Note: Average velocity is directed to the west.
Definition of Acceleration
An acceleration is the change in velocity per unit of time. (A vector quantity.)
A change in velocity requires the application of a push or pull (force).
A formal treatment of force and acceleration will be given later. For now, you should know that:• The direction of
accel- eration is same as direction of force.
• The acceleration is proportional to the magnitude of the force.
Pulling the wagon with twice the force produces twice the acceleration and acceleration is in direction of force.
Pulling the wagon with twice the force produces twice the acceleration and acceleration is in direction of force.

Average Velocity:
Instantaneous Velocity:
Uniform Acceleration in One Dimension:
• Motion is along a straight line (horizontal, vertical or slanted).
• Changes in motion result from a CONSTANT force producing uniform acceleration.
• The velocity of an object is changing by a constant amount in a given time interval.
• The moving object is treated as though it were a point particle.
Average velocity for constant a:
setting to = 0
combining both equations:
For constant acceleration:
Formulas based on definitions:

For constant acceleration only
Example 6: An airplane flying initially at 400 ft/s lands on a carrier deck and stops in a distance of 300 ft. What is the acceleration?
Δx = 300 ft
vo = 400 ft/sv = 0
+
Step 1. Draw and label sketch.
Step 2. Indicate + direction
Example: (Cont.)
+
Step 3. List given; find information with signs.Given: vo = 400 ft/s - initial velocity of airplane v = 0 - final velocity after
traveling Δx = +300 ft
Find: a = ? - acceleration of airplane
Δx = 300 ft
vo = 400 ft/sv = 0
Step 4. Select equation that contains a and not t.v 2 - vo
2 = 2aΔx0
a = = -vo

2x
-(400 ft/s)2
2(300 ft)
a = - 300 ft/s2
a = - 300 ft/s2
Why is the acceleration negative?Because Force is in a negative direction which means that the airplane slows down
Given: vo = +400 ft/s
v = 0
Δx = +300 ft
Example 5: A ball 5.0 m from the bottom of an incline is traveling initially at 8.0 m/s. Four seconds (4.0 s) later, it is traveling down the incline at 2.0 m/s. How far is it from the bottom at that instant?

8.0 m/s
-2.0 m/s
t = 4.0 s
+
Given: d = 5.0 m - distance from initial position of the ball
vo = 8.0 m/s - initial velocity
v = -2.0 m/s - final velocity after t = 4.0 s
Find: x = ? - distance from the bottom of the incline
x = 17.0 mx = 17.0 m
Given: d = 5.0 m
vo = 8.0 m/s - initial velocity
v = -2.0 m/s - final velocity after t = 4.0 s
Find: x = ? - distance from the bottom of the incline
Solution: where
Acceleration Due to Gravity
• Every object on the earth experiences a common force: the force due to gravity.
• This force is always directed toward the center of the earth (downward).
• The acceleration due to gravity is relatively constant near the Earth’s surface.
