Study Notes
Motion
Types of Motion
- Translational Motion: Movement of an object from one place to another in a straight line or a curved path.
- Rotational Motion: Movement of an object around a fixed axis.
- Oscillatory Motion: Repetitive back-and-forth motion around a fixed point.
- Circular Motion: Movement of an object in a circular path.
Describing Motion
- Distance: Total length of path traveled by an object.
- Displacement: Straight-line distance between initial and final positions.
- Speed: Rate of change of distance with time (scalar quantity).
- Velocity: Rate of change of displacement with time (vector quantity).
- Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity with time (vector quantity).
Kinematic Equations
- v = u + at: Final velocity (v) equals initial velocity (u) plus acceleration (a) times time (t).
- s = ut + 0.5at^2: Displacement (s) equals initial velocity (u) times time (t) plus 0.5 times acceleration (a) times time (t) squared.
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as: Final velocity (v) squared equals initial velocity (u) squared plus 2 times acceleration (a) times displacement (s).
Graphical Analysis
- Distance-Time Graphs: Slope represents speed.
- Velocity-Time Graphs: Slope represents acceleration.
- Acceleration-Time Graphs: Area under the curve represents change in velocity.
Types of Motion
- Translational Motion involves moving an object from one location to another, either along a straight line or along a curved trajectory.
- Rotational Motion is characterized by an object rotating around a fixed axis.
- Oscillatory Motion describes a repetitive movement back and forth around a central point.
- Circular Motion involves an object's movement along a circular path.
Describing Motion
- Distance refers to the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.
- Displacement is the straight-line distance between an object's initial and final positions, with direction included.
- Speed measures how quickly an object covers distance, expressed as a scalar quantity (magnitude only).
- Velocity indicates the rate of change in displacement over time, comprising both speed and direction (vector quantity).
- Acceleration represents the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time, another vector quantity.
Kinematic Equations
- The equation v = u + at states that final velocity equals initial velocity plus the product of acceleration and time.
- In the equation s = ut + 0.5at^2, displacement is derived from the initial velocity multiplied by time plus half the product of acceleration and time squared.
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as expresses the relationship where final velocity squared equals initial velocity squared plus twice the product of acceleration and displacement.
Graphical Analysis
- Distance-Time Graphs illustrate motion, where the slope of the graph indicates the object's speed.
- Velocity-Time Graphs reveal acceleration via the slope, providing insight into how velocity changes over time.
- Acceleration-Time Graphs allow for the determination of changes in velocity, where the area under the curve represents this change.
