Study Notes

Motion

Types of Motion

  • Translational Motion: Object changes its position in a straight line or a curved path.
  • Rotational Motion: Object rotates around a fixed axis.
  • Vibrational Motion: Object oscillates about a fixed point.
  • Circular Motion: Object moves in a circular path.

Kinematics

  • Displacement: Change in position of an object.
    • Measured in meters (m)
    • Vector quantity
  • Velocity: Rate of change of displacement.
    • Measured in meters per second (m/s)
    • Vector quantity
  • Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity.
    • Measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)
    • Vector quantity
  • Speed: Magnitude of velocity.
    • Measured in meters per second (m/s)
    • Scalar quantity
  • Time: Measured in seconds (s)

Equations of Motion

  • Uniform Acceleration:
    • v = u + at
    • s = ut + (1/2)at^2
    • v^2 = u^2 + 2as
  • Uniform Velocity:
    • s = vt
    • v = constant

Graphical Analysis

  • Distance-Time Graph:
    • Slope represents velocity
    • Area under the curve represents distance traveled
  • Velocity-Time Graph:
    • Slope represents acceleration
    • Area under the curve represents displacement
  • Acceleration-Time Graph:
    • Slope represents jerk (rate of change of acceleration)
    • Area under the curve represents velocity
