CHAPTER 1 KINEMATICS • Measurements & units • Scalars & vectors • Displacement, Velocity and acceleration • Relative velocity. • Motion in two dimensions and in three dimensions • Special case: Gravity
Summary • Vectors: Positions, Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration.
Vector or Scalar? • Speed……….. • Velocity……... • Acceleration.. • Time…………. • Force………… • Distance…….. scalar vector vector scalar scalar it depends...
Some Derivatives • Powers • Trig Functions • Exponentials

Learning Check John is moving to x direction by equation: X= - 25t2 +3t +7 (cm) 1- What is John ‘s position at time t=0? and t = 3(s) ? 2- What is his velocity at time time t=0? and t = 3(s) ? Average speed of John after 10s moving? 3- What is his acceleration at time time t=0? and t = 3(s) ? Average acceleration of John after 10s moving?
a 3 Acceleration at t=4, a(4) = Change of v between t=4 and t=1. Dv = t 4 -3 Learning checkAcceleration vs Time Plots • Gives acceleration at any time. • Area gives change in velocity
Solution Equation of motion is Constant Acceleration where acceleration is constant. Integrate both sides The o in v subscript refers to the original or initial value at the beginning of the time interval of interest.
Arranging this equation Substituting the velocity equation from the previous page Integrating both sides
X=2+10t +4t2 (m) At t=3 x= 2+3.10 +4.9 = 68 (m) V= 10 + 8t (m/s) At x=4 4= 2+10t +4t2 4t2 +10t –2 =0 t = ? Learning Check
Part 5 Motion in two dimensions
Example • Where is velocity zero? • Where is velocity positive? • Where is velocity negative? • Where is speed largest? • Where is acceleration zero? • Where is acceleration positive? position vs. time velocity vs. time
Isaac Newton in 1689, by Sir Godfrey Kneller. Part 6 Free fall
Exercises of today’s lecture A ball is thrown straight up in the air and returns to its initial position. During the time the ball is in the air, which of the following statements is true? A - Both average acceleration and average velocity are zero. B - Average acceleration is zero but average velocity is not zero. C - Average velocity is zero but average acceleration is not zero. D - Neither average acceleration nor average velocity are zero.
Summary of Concepts • kinematics: A description of motion • position:your coordinates • displacement:x = change of position • velocity:rate of change of position • average : x/t • instantaneous: slope of x vs. t • acceleration:rate of change of velocity • average: v/t • instantaneous: slope of v vs. t
