Study Notes
Motion and Time
- Different types of motion exist, including along a straight line, circular, or periodic.
- Table 9.1 provides examples of different types of motion.
- Motion can be slow or fast, depending on the object and the time taken to cover a distance.
- Activity 9.1 demonstrates how to observe and analyze the position of moving objects.
- Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a unit of time.
- The basic unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).
- Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken.
- Time is fundamental to motion.
- The basic unit of time is a second (s).
- Other units include minutes (min) and hours (h).
- Objects moving with a constant speed are in uniform motion.
- Objects in non-uniform motion change their speed.
Measuring Time
- Time can be measured using periodic motions, like a pendulum.
- Quartz clocks are accurate time-measuring devices.
- Measurement of time intervals is crucial across various applications.
Speed
- Speed is a crucial aspect of motion.
- Objects can move at various speeds.
- Comparing the distances traveled by objects in a unit of time aids in determining which is faster.
- Speed is calculated by dividing distance by the time taken to cover that distance.
Distance-Time Graph
- Distance-time graphs represent motion visually.
- The x-axis (horizontal) usually represents time and the y-axis (vertical) represents distance.
- A straight-line graph indicates uniform motion.
- The gradient (slope) of the graph equals the speed and a straight line graph illustrates uniform motion.
- Various scales used for distance-time graphs facilitate representation of data on the graph.
