    Study Notes

    Motion

    Uniform Motion

    • An object moves with a constant velocity (speed and direction)
    • The object travels an equal distance in an equal time interval
    • The acceleration of the object is zero
    • Example: a car moving on a straight road with a constant speed

    Non-Uniform Motion

    • An object moves with a changing velocity (speed and/or direction)
    • The object travels an unequal distance in an equal time interval
    • The acceleration of the object is not zero
    • Example: a car accelerating from rest or turning around a curve

    Acceleration

    • The rate of change of velocity
    • A vector quantity with both magnitude (amount of change) and direction
    • Can be positive (acceleration) or negative (deceleration)
    • Units: m/s² (meters per second squared)

    Graphs of Motion

    • Position-Time Graphs
      • Show the position of an object over time
      • Slope represents velocity
      • Curvature represents acceleration
    • Velocity-Time Graphs
      • Show the velocity of an object over time
      • Slope represents acceleration
      • Area under the curve represents displacement

    Equations of Motion

    • Kinematic Equations
      • Describe the motion of an object without considering the forces acting on it
      • Three equations:
        1. v = u + at (velocity = initial velocity + acceleration × time)
        2. s = ut + (1/2)at² (displacement = initial velocity × time + (1/2) × acceleration × time²)
        3. v² = u² + 2as (final velocity² = initial velocity² + 2 × acceleration × displacement)
    • Applications
      • Solving problems involving motion, such as finding the velocity, displacement, or acceleration of an object
      • Analyzing and interpreting motion graphs and data
