Lecture 2

Definitions

Mechanics:

The study of motion.

Kinematics:

The mathematical description of motion in 1-D and 2-D motion.

Dynamics:

The study of the forces that cause motion.

Consider in this chapter only motion in one dimension:

motion along a straight line.

First define position, displacement, velocity and

acceleration.

Then, using these concepts, study the motion of objects

traveling in 1-D with a constant acceleration.

Chapter Outline

Definition of Motion

Motion represents a continuous change in the position of an

object.

A car moving down a highway.

Example of motion:

Particle’s Position

Particle’s Position is the location of the particle with respect

to a chosen reference point that we can consider to be the

origin of a coordinate system.

Positions to the right of the origin are positive.

Positions to the left of the origin are negative.

Displacement

In other word; it is the difference between the final position xf

, and the initial position xi .

Displacement of a particle βˆ†x is defined as its change in position

in some time interval.

βˆ†π‘₯ = π‘₯𝑓 βˆ’ π‘₯𝑖

A displacement to the right will be a positive displacement.

Displacement

For example

starting with xi = 60 m and ending at xf = 150 m, the

displacement is :

A displacement to the left will be a negative displacement.

Displacement

For example

starting with xi = 150 m and ending at xf = 60 m, the

displacement is :

Distance is the absolute value of the displacement.

Distance is always positive and tells how far something is from

something else but does not tell us whether it is to the right or to the

left.

Units are important in Physics (and in all of Science)

In the lab, we will usually measure distance or displacement in units

of meters (m).

Distance or displacement could also be measured in centimeters

(cm) or kilometers (km) or even miles (mi).

Distance and Displacement

Example

between A & D

Ans.

Total Distance = distance from A to B + distance from

B to C + distance from B to C

= 180 m + 140 m + 100 m

= 420 m.

Ans.

The average Speed of an object over

a given time interval is defined as the

total distance traveled divided by the

total time elapsed:

SI Unit: meter per second (m/s)

Speed is a a scalar quantity.

The average Velocity during a time

interval t is the displacement Ξ”x

divided by the time t :

SI Unit: meter per second (m/s)

Velocity is a vector quantity.

Speed & Velocity

Speed & Velocity is also measured in km/h (and even in mi/hr).

Total distance traveled:

From the car’s position described by the curve, we find that the

distance traveled from A to B is 22m plus 105m the distance traveled

from B to F for a total of 127m.

Ans. :

β€’ Applying the Formula to find Total Distance:

Ans. :

The instantaneous velocity πœ—π‘–π‘›π‘ π‘‘ is the velocity right

now, at this particular moment.

If the velocity is constant :

πœ—π‘–π‘›π‘ π‘‘ = πœ—π‘Žπ‘£π‘”

SI unit : meter per second (m/s)

The instantaneous velocity

Acceleration

Acceleration is a change of velocity divided by a change of time.

π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘” =βˆ†πœ—

βˆ†π‘‘=πœ—π‘“ βˆ’ πœ—π‘–

𝑑𝑓 βˆ’ 𝑑𝑖

This quantity has units of (meters/second)/second.

We will write this as m/sec2 (there are no "square seconds").

As with the velocity, we can describe the instantaneous acceleration, the

acceleration right now, at this particular moment. If the acceleration is

constant :

We are often interested in how fast the velocity is changing. This

is the acceleration.

π‘Žπ‘–π‘›π‘ π‘‘ = π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘”

AccelerationIf there is no change in speed, but there is a change in direction

the acceleration has occured

Example: Find the acceleration from the figure below

π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘” = 3π‘š

𝑠𝑒𝑐/𝑠𝑒𝑐 = 3 π‘š/𝑠𝑒𝑐2

β€’ When the object’s velocity and acceleration are in the

same direction, the object is speeding up (other hind

the value for acceleration is positive).

β€’ On the other hand, when the object’s velocity and

acceleration are in opposite direction, the object is

slowing down. (also called deceleration)
