Study Notes
Motion in a Straight Line
- An object is in motion if its position changes over time, relative to an observer. Otherwise, it is at rest.
- A point object is a small object whose size is negligible compared to the distance it travels.
- A frame of reference is a set of axes used to observe and measure the position of an object.
- One-dimensional motion occurs along a straight line. Examples include a train on a track.
- Two-dimensional motion occurs in a plane. Examples include a boat on a lake.
- Three-dimensional motion happens in space. Examples include a butterfly in flight.
Distance vs. Displacement
- Distance is the total length of the path traveled, regardless of direction.
- Displacement is the shortest straight-line distance between the initial and final positions.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (length) and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity, having only magnitude.
- Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero. Distance is always positive.
Speed and Velocity
- Speed is the rate at which distance is covered. It is a scalar quantity and is always positive or zero.
- Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. It is a vector quantity and can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by the total time.
- Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time.
- Instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific instant in time.
- Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific instant in time.
Acceleration
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It's a vector quantity.
- Uniform acceleration means the velocity changes by equal amounts in equal time intervals.
- Instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at a specific instant in time.
Graphs of Motion
- Position-time graph: plots position versus time. The slope of the graph represents velocity.
- Velocity-time graph: plots velocity versus time. The slope of the graph represents acceleration. The area under the graph represents displacement.
- Acceleration-time graph: plots acceleration versus time. The slope of the graph is the rate of change of acceleration. The area under the graph represents the change in velocity.
Equations of Motion
- The equations of motion describe how an object's position, velocity, and acceleration change over time, under the influence of a constant acceleration.
Free-falling bodies
- When an object falls under the influence of only gravity, its motion is called free fall.
- The acceleration of a free-falling body is due to gravity and is a constant.
