Study Notes
Time and Motion
- Measurement of time was important in ancient times, even without clocks or watches
- Ancient people used natural events with regular intervals to measure time
- Examples include time between sunrises (a day), new moons (a month), and Earth's orbit around the sun (a year)
- Ancient time-measuring devices included sundials, water clocks, sand clocks
- Modern-day time measurement uses clocks and watches, which use periodic motion (repeating motions)
- Clocks and watches use the principle of periodic motion to measure time
- Example of periodic motions - earth rotating on its axis, pendulum of a clock, swing, car on hills, bird flaps its wings
Types of Motion
- Earth rotating on its axis - circular motion
- Pendulum of a clock - periodic motion
- Swing - periodic motion
- Moving car on hills - straight line motion
- Bird flapping its wings - periodic motion
- Ant trail - various types of motion
Simple Pendulum
- A simple pendulum consists of a small metal ball (bob) suspended by a long string
- Length of pendulum - distance from point of suspension to centre of bob
- Mean position of bob - position of bob when at rest
- Extreme positions of bob - positions of bob at maximum distance from mean position
- Oscillation of a pendulum - one complete to-and-fro motion of bob about its mean position
- Amplitude of pendulum - maximum displacement of bob from its mean position during oscillation
- Time period of pendulum - time taken by bob to complete one oscillation
- Frequency of pendulum - number of oscillations in one second
Measurement of Time
- We need to measure time intervals shorter than a day; clocks and watches are used
- Clocks and watches use periodic motions (e.g., pendulum)
- Different kinds of clocks and watches are available, such as quartz clocks and digital stopwatches which have different levels of accuracy.
Speed
- Speed is the distance covered by a moving object per unit time
- The standard unit for speed is m/s (metre per second)
- Speed can also be expressed in km/h (kilometre per hour)
Uniform and Non-uniform Motion
- Uniform motion: Object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, constant speed
- Non-uniform motion: Object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, changing speeds
Distance-Time Graphs
- Graphs showing relationship between distance travelled and time taken
- Uniform motion - straight line graph
- Non-uniform motion - curved line graph
- Stationary object - horizontal line graph
