Chapter 2: Motion in One Dimension
- Topics: Position, Velocity, Speed, Instantaneous Velocity, Speed, Acceleration, One-dimensional motion with constant acceleration, Vector analysis
Chapter 2.1 Displacement, Velocity, and Speed
- Displacement: Change in a particle's position; a vector quantity
- ∆x = xf - xi
- if xf > xi, ∆x is positive (+)
- if xf < xi, ∆x is negative (-)
- Displacement is not equal to distance traveled
- Distance traveled = AC + CB
- Displacement = AB
Chapter 2.2 Instantaneous Velocity and Speed
- Instantaneous velocity: The limit of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero.
- vx = lim∆t→0 ∆x / ∆t = dx/dt
- The slope of the tangent line on a position-time graph is equal to instantaneous velocity.
- Instantaneous velocity can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Instantaneous speed: Magnitude of the instantaneous velocity
Chapter 2.3 Acceleration
- Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity.
- ax = ∆vx/∆t = dvx/dt.
- ax: Average acceleration, ∆vx: Change in velocity
- SI units: m/s²
Chapter 2.5 One-Dimensional motion with constant acceleration
- Velocity changes at a constant rate
- Velocity-time graph is a straight line.
- Equations: vf = vi + at, xf - xi = .5 * (vf + vi)t, xf - xi = vit + .5at2, vf2 = vi2 + 2a*(xf - xi)
Additional Information
- Example Problems: Include worked-out examples illustrating calculations related to displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
- Problem Solving Strategy: Outline a step-by-step approach for solving problems involving motion.
- Units and Dimensions: Be familiar with SI and British engineering units, and the dimensions of physics quantities.
