Study Notes
Types of Motion
- Translational Motion: Motion along a straight line or a curved path.
- Rotational Motion: Motion around a fixed axis.
- Oscillatory Motion: Repeated back-and-forth motion around a fixed point.
- Vibratory Motion: Rapid oscillations about a fixed point.
Describing Motion
- Distance: Total length of the path traveled.
- Displacement: Shortest distance between initial and final positions.
- Speed: Rate of change of distance with time.
- Velocity: Rate of change of displacement with time.
- Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity with time.
Motion in One Dimension
- Uniform Motion: Constant speed in a straight line.
- Uniformly Accelerated Motion: Constant acceleration in a straight line.
Motion in Two and Three Dimensions
- Projectile Motion: Motion under gravity, with both horizontal and vertical components.
- Circular Motion: Motion in a circular path, with constant speed and changing direction.
Key Concepts
- Inertia: Tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
- Force: Push or pull that causes acceleration.
-
Newton's Laws of Motion:
- Inertia: An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force.
- Force and Acceleration: Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.
- Action and Reaction: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
