  1. Physics 2007 Kinematics in One Dimension

  2. Kinematics • A Branch of mechanics • Describes an objects motion • Excludes mass and force factors • Studies change in position in an amount of time.

  3. Scalar & Vector Quantities • Scalar Quantity • A quantity that includes the magnitude of motion only. • Vector Quantity • A quantity that includes magnitude and direction of motion.

  4. Speed • Instantaneous • Speed at any given instant in time.

  5. Speed • Average • Average of all instantaneous speeds • found simply by a distance/time ratio. Average Speed = total distance = 30 m = 5 m/s total time 15 sec 0 meters 15 meters 30 meters 5 seconds 10 meters

  6. Speed Graphs Y axis Constant Speed Position (meter) Y axis Time (second) X axis Increasing Speed Position (meter) Time (second) X axis
