Mechanics The study of Physics begins with mechanics. Mechanics is the branch of physics that focuses on the motion of objects and the forces that cause the motion to change. There are two parts to mechanics: Kinematics and Dynamics. Kinematics deals with the concepts that are needed to describe motion, without any reference to forces.

Distance and Displacement Starting from origin, O a person walks 90-m east, then turns around and walks 40-m west. Q: What is the total walked distance? A: 130-m Q: What is the displacement? A: 50-m, due east.
Displacement The displacementΔx is a vector that points from the initial position to the final position. SI Unit of Displacement: meter (m)
2.2 Speed and Velocity • Average Speed • Average Velocity • Instantaneous Velocity • Instantaneous Speed
Average Speed Units for speed: m/s, MPH, kmPH.
Average Velocity Units for velocity: m/s, MPH, kmPH.
Instantaneous Velocity and Speed The instantaneous velocityv indicates how fast an object moves and the direction of the motion at each instant of time. The magnitude of the instantaneous velocity is called the instantaneous speed, and it is the number (with units) indicated by the speedometer.
Acceleration Units: m/s2, cm/s2
Instantaneous acceleration Acceleration at a particular instant is called instantaneous acceleration.
Deceleration An object speeds up when the acceleration and velocity vectors point in the same direction.
Deceleration An object speeds up when the acceleration and velocity vectors point in the same direction. Whenever the acceleration and velocity vectors have opposite directions, the object slows down and is said to be “decelerating.”
Deceleration An object speeds up when the acceleration and velocity vectors point in the same direction. Whenever the acceleration and velocity vectors have opposite directions, the object slows down and is said to be “decelerating.” Example 4: A drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the brakes to slow down. The driver begins slowing down when t0 = 9.0 s and the car's velocity is v0 = +28 m/s. When t = 12.0 s, the velocity has been reduced to v = +13 m/s. What is the average acceleration of the dragster?
