Study Notes
Mechanics and Kinematics
- Mechanics studies the effects of forces on objects, while kinematics focuses on the description of motion.
- Dynamics examines how motion is affected by forces acting on objects.
Car Motion Analysis
- Motion choices include:
- Change in direction
- Change in speed (decrease or increase)
- Change in speed and direction (decrease or increase)
- Example observations indicated:
- Car 1 showed a change in speed (increase) from 20 km/h to 40 km/h over 3 seconds.
- Car 2 exhibited a change in speed and direction (increase).
- Car 3 demonstrated change in speed (increase) initially and then a change in speed and direction (decrease).
Distance vs. Displacement
- Distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path traveled by an object, measured in kilometers.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, indicating the change in an object's position relative to a reference point, also measured in kilometers.
Speed vs. Velocity
- Speed is a scalar quantity indicating how fast or slow an object moves regardless of direction; it is calculated as distance over time.
- Velocity is a vector quantity that measures how fast or slow an object moves, factoring in the initial and final position and direction of travel.
- Average speed is computed as total distance traveled in a specific time interval.
