    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.
