    Study Notes

    Kinematics Learning Outcomes

    • Speed is the distance covered by a body in a particular time, measured in meters per second (m/s), and is a scalar quantity.

    Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration

    • Speed is different from velocity, with velocity being a vector quantity.
    • Average speed is calculated by dividing distance traveled by time taken.
    • Uniform acceleration occurs when the velocity of an object changes at a constant rate.
    • Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by time taken.
    • Deceleration is a negative acceleration.

    Graphical Analysis of Motion

    • Speed-time graphs and distance-time graphs can be plotted and interpreted to understand motion.
    • The shape of a speed-time graph can indicate:
    • A body at rest (horizontal line)
    • A body moving with uniform speed (flat, non-zero line)
    • A body moving with uniform acceleration (curved line)
    • A body moving with non-uniform acceleration (irregular curve)
    • The area under a speed-time graph can be calculated to determine the distance traveled for motion with uniform speed or uniform acceleration.

    Free-Fall

    • The acceleration of free-fall for a body near the Earth is constant and approximately 9.8 m/s².
    • Bodies with constant weight falling with and without air resistance experience:
    • Free-fall without air resistance: acceleration at 9.8 m/s²
    • Free-fall with air resistance: terminal velocity is reached, and acceleration decreases.
