Study Notes
Mechanics - Dr. Yasmin Mohamed Yousef Bakier
- Dr. Yasmin Mohamed Yousef Bakier is from the Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Egypt.
- Her office is located on the 5th floor, Room 510.
Motion in One Dimension
- This section discusses motion along a straight line.
- Key concepts include displacement, velocity, and speed.
Displacement, Velocity, and Speed
- Displacement: The change in position of a particle, a vector quantity.
- If a particle moves from position xᵢ to x , displacement = x - xᵢ.
- If x > xᵢ, displacement is positive.
- If x < xᵢ, displacement is negative.
- Distance Traveled: Total path length covered by a particle (scalar quantity). Distance ≠ Displacement.
- Average Velocity: The ratio of displacement to the time interval. Average velocity = (x - xᵢ) / (t - tᵢ). Its unit is m/s.
- Average Speed: Total distance traveled divided by total time taken. Average speed is a scalar and has no direction.
Displacement, Velocity and Speed - Position-Time Graphs
- The motion of a particle can be understood from a position-time graph.
- The slope of the line joining two points on a position-time graph represents the average velocity between the corresponding time instants.
Geometrical meaning of V
- The slope of a straight line joining initial and final points of a position-time graph equals the average velocity.
Example of Displacement, Velocity, and Speed
- A car's motion along the x-axis is described with initial and final positions and times. The displacement, average velocity, and average speed are calculated.
Instantaneous Velocity and Speed
- Instantaneous Velocity: The limit of the average velocity as the time interval approaches zero.
- Instantaneous velocity is the slope of the tangent to the position-time curve at a given time.
- Instantaneous speed: The magnitude of instantaneous velocity (scalar).
Instantaneous Acceleration
- Instantaneous acceleration: The limit of the average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero.
- Instantaneous acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Example of Displacement, Velocity, and Speed - Numerical Calculation
- A particle moves according to a given equation, x = -4t + 2t². Displacement, average velocity, and average speed over different time intervals are found.
- Calculating instantaneous velocity at a specific time.
Average Acceleration
- Average acceleration is calculated as Δ ν/Δt, where Δν is the change in velocity and Δt is the time interval.
- A particle's average acceleration in a given interval is the ratio of the change in velocity over the change in time.
Example of Average Acceleration
- A particle's velocity is given by a function of time, vx = 40 – 5t². The average acceleration is found for the interval from 0 to 1 second and instantaneous acceleration at t = 2 seconds.
One Dimensional Motion with Constant Acceleration
- When the acceleration of an object is constant, its velocity changes at a uniform rate.
- The velocity-time graph is a straight line. Key equations link velocity, time, displacement, and acceleration.
Displacement as a function of time/velocity
- If acceleration is constant, formulas are available for calculating displacement based on initial/final velocity and time, and based on initial/final velocity and acceleration.
Velocity as a function of Displacement
- Describes the relationship between velocity and position when the acceleration is constant.
Kinematic Equations of motion in a straight line
- Equations summarize the relationships between position, velocity, acceleration, and time for motion with constant acceleration.
Freely Falling Objects
- Objects falling under the influence of gravity only. The acceleration due to gravity is constant.
- Kinematic equations are applicable.
Example of Freely Falling Objects
- A example problem illustrating an object thrown upwards from a building
- Addresses calculation of time to maximum height, maximum height, time to return to initial height, velocity at different times, and velocity and position at a given time.
