  1. Chapter 2 Motion in One Dimension

  2. Dynamics • Dynamics: branch of physics describing the motion of an object and the relationship between that motion and other physics concepts • Kinematics is a part of dynamics. In kinematics we are interested in the description of motion, without the description of the cause of the motion • Any motion involves three concepts used to study objects in motion: • 1) Displacement • 2) Velocity • 3) Acceleration

  3. Linear motion • In this chapter we will consider moving objects: • Along a straight line • With every portion of an object moving in the same direction and at the same rate (particle-like motion)

  4. Types of physical quantities • In physics, quantities can be divided into such general categories as scalars, vectors, matrices, etc. • Scalars – physical quantities that can be described by their value (magnitude) only • Vectors – physical quantities that can be described by their value and direction

  5. Distance, position, and displacement • Distance (scalar) a total length of the path traveled regardless of direction (SI unit: m) • In each instance we choose an origin – a reference point, convenient for further calculations • Position of an object (vector) is described by the shortest distance from the origin and direction relative to the origin • Displacement (vector) – a change from position xi to position xf

  6. Velocity and speed • Average speed (scalar) - a ratio of distance traveled (over a time interval) to that time interval (SI unit: m/s) • Average velocity (vector) - a ratio of displacement (over a time interval) to that time interval • Instantaneous velocity (vector) – velocity at a given instant • Instantaneous speed (scalar) – a magnitude of an instantaneous velocity

  7. Velocity and speed

  8. Velocity and speed

  9. Instantaneous velocity • The instantaneous velocity is the slope of the line tangent to the x vs. t curve • This would be the green line • The light blue lines show that as Δt gets smaller, they approach the green line

  10. Acceleration • Average acceleration (vector) - a ratio of change of velocity (over a time interval) to that time interval (SI unit = (m/s)/s = m/s2) • Instantaneous acceleration (vector) – a rate of change of velocity at a given instant

  11. Acceleration • The blue line is the average acceleration • The slope (green line) of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration

  12. Case of constant acceleration • Average and instantaneous accelerations are the same • Conventionally • Then

  13. Case of constant acceleration • Average and instantaneous accelerations are the same • Conventionally • Then

  26. Chapter 2 Problem 36 A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 40.0 mi/h in 12.0 s. Find (a) the distance the car travels during this time and (b) the constant acceleration of the car.

  27. Case of free-fall acceleration • At sea level of Earth’s mid-latitudes all objects fall (in vacuum) with constant (downward) acceleration of • a = - g ≈ - 9.8 m/s2≈ - 32 ft/s2 • Conventionally, free fall is along a vertical (upward) y-axis

  28. Chapter 2 Problem 45 A certain freely falling object requires 1.50 s to travel the last 30.0 m before it hits the ground. From what height above the ground did it fall?
