Study Notes
Motion
- Rest: An object is at rest if its position does not change over time.
- Motion: An object is in motion if its position changes over time.
- Relative Motion: An object can be at rest relative to one thing and in motion relative to another at the same time.
Distance and Displacement
- Distance: The length of the actual path traveled by an object during motion. It's a scalar quantity.
- Displacement: The shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions. It's a vector quantity.
- Distance vs. Displacement: Distance can never be zero or negative, while displacement can be positive, zero, or negative. Distance travelled will never be less than the displacement.
Uniform and Non-uniform Motion
- Uniform Motion: An object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, regardless of how small the intervals are.
- Non-uniform Motion: An object travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time.
Speed
- Speed: The distance travelled by a body in unit time. Its SI unit is meters per second (m/s).
- Uniform Speed: A body covers equal distances in equal time intervals.
- Non-uniform Speed: A body covers unequal distances in equal time intervals.
- Average Speed: The total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.
Velocity
- Velocity: The distance travelled by a body in unit time in a given direction. Its SI unit is meters per second (m/s).
- Uniform Velocity: A body travels in a straight line, covering equal distances in equal time intervals.
- Non-uniform Velocity: A body covers unequal distances in a particular direction in equal time intervals or if the direction of motion changes.
- Average Velocity: The arithmetic mean of the initial and final velocity when velocity changes uniformly over time.
Acceleration
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
- Calculating Acceleration: (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time Taken
- Units of Acceleration: Meters per second squared (m/s²)
- Positive Acceleration: Velocity increases.
- Negative Acceleration (Retardation): Velocity decreases.
- Uniform Acceleration: Velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time.
- Non-uniform Acceleration: Velocity changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time.
Distance-Time Graphs
- Uniform Speed: Distance-time graph is a straight line.
- Non-uniform Speed: Distance-time graph is a curved line.
- Speed from Slope: The slope of the distance-time graph represents the speed of the object.
Velocity-Time Graphs
- Uniform Velocity: Velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis.
- Displacement/Distance: The area enclosed by the velocity-time graph and time axis represents the distance or displacement.
- Uniform Acceleration: Velocity-time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis.
- Acceleration from Slope: The slope of the velocity-time graph represents the acceleration.
- Non-uniform Acceleration: Velocity-time graph has any shape.
Equations of Motion
- For Uniform Acceleration:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + (1/2) at²
- v² - u² = 2as
- Variables:
- u: initial velocity
- v: final velocity
- a: acceleration
- t: time
- s: distance
Uniform Circular Motion
- Definition: When a body moves along a circular path at a constant speed.
