Study Notes
Types of Motion
- A material point M is an idealization, whereas a real macroscopic body is composed of connected material points.
Translational Motion
- In translational motion, all points of the body follow the same trajectory, but are shifted relative to each other.
- During translational motion, any straight line within the body remains parallel to itself.
Rotational Motion
- In rotational motion, all points of the body move in circular paths around a common axis.
Types of Regular Movement
- Regular movement can be classified as either straight or curved, depending on the shape of the trajectory.
Material Point
- A material point is a body whose dimensions can be neglected.
- The position of a material point M in space can be determined using:
- Three coordinates: x, y, z
- Radius vector 𝒓, drawn from the origin to the material point M
Radius Vector and Time
- The radius vector 𝒓 changes in length and direction over time.
- The radius vector is a function of time: 𝒓 = 𝒓(𝒕)
- This equation is called the vector equation of motion.
Vector Equation of Motion
- One vector equation of motion is equivalent to three kinematic equations of motion of a point.
Trajectory and Displacement
- The continuous line described by the material point M during its movement is the trajectory.
- The length of the trajectory is the path ΔS (scalar).
- Δ𝒓 is a vector directed from the starting point of the trajectory to the end point, representing the displacement.
