    Study Notes

    Kinematics

    Velocity And Acceleration

    • Velocity: the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time
      • Measured in meters per second (m/s)
      • Can be positive, negative, or zero
    • Acceleration: the rate of change of an object's velocity
      • Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²)
      • Can be positive, negative, or zero
    • Relationship between velocity and acceleration:
      • Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time
      • Velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time

    Displacement And Distance

    • Displacement: the shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions
      • Measured in meters (m)
      • Can be positive, negative, or zero
    • Distance: the total length of the path traveled by an object
      • Measured in meters (m)
      • Always positive
    • Key difference: displacement is a vector quantity, while distance is a scalar quantity

    Uniform And Non-uniform Motion

    • Uniform Motion: motion with a constant velocity
      • Object travels equal distances in equal time intervals
      • Graph of position vs. time is a straight line
    • Non-uniform Motion: motion with a changing velocity
      • Object travels different distances in equal time intervals
      • Graph of position vs. time is a curved line
    • Examples:
      • Uniform motion: a car moving at a constant speed on a straight road
      • Non-uniform motion: a car accelerating from rest to a high speed

    Kinematics

    Velocity And Acceleration

    • Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, measured in meters per second (m/s).
    • Velocity can be positive, negative, or zero, indicating direction of motion.
    • Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
    • Acceleration can be positive, negative, or zero, indicating increase or decrease in velocity.
    • Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time.
    • Velocity is the integral of acceleration with respect to time.

    Displacement And Distance

    • Displacement is the shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions, measured in meters (m).
    • Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the direction of motion.
    • Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, measured in meters (m).
    • Distance is always positive, as it is a measure of the total path length.
    • Displacement is a vector quantity, while distance is a scalar quantity.

    Uniform And Non-uniform Motion

    • Uniform motion occurs when an object travels with a constant velocity.
    • In uniform motion, the object travels equal distances in equal time intervals.
    • The graph of position vs. time is a straight line in uniform motion.
    • Non-uniform motion occurs when an object's velocity changes.
    • In non-uniform motion, the object travels different distances in equal time intervals.
    • The graph of position vs. time is a curved line in non-uniform motion.
    • Examples of uniform motion include a car moving at a constant speed on a straight road.
    • Examples of non-uniform motion include a car accelerating from rest to a high speed.

    Kinematics

    Velocity And Acceleration

    • Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, measured in meters per second (m/s).
    • Velocity has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
    • Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
    • Acceleration has both magnitude and direction.

    Displacement And Distance

    • Displacement is the shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions, measured in meters (m).
    • Displacement is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
    • Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, measured in meters (m).
    • Distance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude.

    Types of Motion

    • Uniform motion occurs when an object's velocity remains constant.
    • In uniform motion, acceleration is zero.
    • In uniform motion, an object travels equal distances in equal time intervals.
    • Non-uniform motion occurs when an object's velocity changes.
    • In non-uniform motion, acceleration is not zero.
    • In non-uniform motion, an object travels different distances in equal time intervals.
