Match the following concepts with their descriptions:

Kinematics = Study of the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion Dynamics = Study of the motion of objects and the forces that cause the motion Uniform motion = Constant velocity Force = Push or pull that causes an object to change its motion

Match the following types of motion with their characteristics:

Motion in One Dimension = Motion along a straight line Motion in Two and Three Dimensions = Motion in a plane or in space Projectile motion = Motion under the influence of gravity, with horizontal and vertical components Circular motion = Motion in a circular path, with constant speed and changing direction

Match the following concepts with their definitions:

Energy = Ability to do work Kinetic energy = Energy of motion Potential energy = Energy of position or stored energy Work = Transfer of energy from one object to another

Match the following concepts related to momentum with their descriptions:

Momentum = Product of an object's mass and velocity Conservation of momentum = Total momentum remains constant in a closed system Elastic collisions = Collisions in which kinetic energy is conserved Inelastic collisions = Collisions in which kinetic energy is not conserved

Match the following concepts with their related laws:

Newton's First Law = Law of Inertia: an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force Newton's Second Law = F = ma: the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration Newton's Third Law = Action and Reaction: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction Law of Conservation of Energy = Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

Match the following concepts with their measurements:

Displacement = Change in position of an object Velocity = Rate of change of displacement with respect to time Acceleration = Rate of change of velocity with respect to time Gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Study Notes

Kinematics

  • Study of the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion
  • Describes the position, velocity, and acceleration of objects
  • Key concepts:
    • Displacement: change in position of an object
    • Velocity: rate of change of displacement with respect to time
    • Acceleration: rate of change of velocity with respect to time

Dynamics

  • Study of the motion of objects and the forces that cause the motion
  • Describes the relationship between forces and motion
  • Key concepts:
    • Force: push or pull that causes an object to change its motion
    • Newton's Laws:
      • First Law (Law of Inertia): an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force
      • Second Law (F = ma): the force applied to an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration
      • Third Law (Action and Reaction): for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Motion in One Dimension

  • Motion along a straight line
  • Key concepts:
    • Uniform motion: constant velocity
    • Non-uniform motion: changing velocity
    • Acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2)

Motion in Two and Three Dimensions

  • Motion in a plane or in space
  • Key concepts:
    • Projectile motion: motion under the influence of gravity, with horizontal and vertical components
    • Circular motion: motion in a circular path, with constant speed and changing direction
    • Rotational motion: motion of an object rotating around a fixed axis

Energy and Work

  • Energy: ability to do work
  • Key concepts:
    • Kinetic energy: energy of motion
    • Potential energy: energy of position or stored energy
    • Work: transfer of energy from one object to another
    • Conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

Momentum and Collisions

  • Momentum: product of an object's mass and velocity
  • Key concepts:
    • Conservation of momentum: total momentum remains constant in a closed system
    • Elastic collisions: collisions in which kinetic energy is conserved
    • Inelastic collisions: collisions in which kinetic energy is not conserved
