Describing Motion KINEMATICS in One Dimension “To understand motion is to understand nature.” Leonardo da Vinci Chapter 2
MECHANICS Study of motion, force and energy Kinematics How objects move Dynamics Why objects move
Kinematics Objectives • Represent motion through the use of words, motion diagrams, graphs, and mathematical models. • Use the terms position, distance, displacement, and time interval in a scientific manner to describe motion.
Reference Frames Any measurement of position, distance or speed must be made with respect to a frame of reference 80 km/h
Distance and Displacement Distance, d – total ground covered Displacement, Dx – change in position of an object (position is measured from the origin of a chosen coordinate system)
Distance and Displacement Example - A car travels 400 km from Livingston to Philadelphia and then back 200 km to Trenton. What is the displacement of the car? What distance did the car travel? X = 0 0 100 200 300 400 km Livingston Trenton Philadelphia displacement distance
Displacement Has magnitude (size) and direction. It is a VECTOR Vectors are represented by arrows x(m) 1 2 3 -1
Displacement Has magnitude and direction. It is a VECTOR x(m) 1 2 3 -1
Average Speed and Average Velocity • Average speed describes how fast a particle is moving. It is calculated by: • Average velocity describes how fast the displacement is changing with respect to time: always positive Scalar (has magnitude only) sign gives direction in 1 Dimension Vector (has magnitude and direction) Average speed and average velocity often have the same magnitude, but not always
Example - A car travels 400 km from Philadelphia to Livingston in 2 hours and then back 200 km to Trenton in 1 hr. What is the car’s speed and velocity? Dx X = 0 100 200 300 400 km Livingston Trenton Philadelphia Average speed Average velocity
Example • The position-time graph shows the progress of two runners, A and B. • When does runner B pass runner A? • Where does runner B pass runner A? • What is the starting position for runner A? runner B? • After 10 hrs, what is the average velocity of runner A? After 10 hrs, what is the average velocity of runner B? • If the finish line is at 40 km, who won the race?

Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity Average velocity only depends on the initial and final positions. These 2 cars have the same average velocities but different velocities at each instant. When the velocity is not uniform, the instantaneous velocity is not the same as the average velocity. AVERAGE VELOCITY: X = -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 km X = -40 -20 0 20 40 60 80 km Start t=0 End t=2 hr
x Dx Dt t Average Velocity from a Graph A B Remember that the average velocity between the time at A and the time at B is the slope of the connecting line, the secant line.
How can we find the instantaneous velocity at a point? x A B t What happens if A and B become closer to each other?
Average Velocity from a Graph x B A t What happens if A and B become closer to each other?
Average Velocity from a Graph x B A t What happens if A and B become closer to each other?
Instantaneous Velocity from a Graph x A and B are effectively the same point. The time difference is effectively zero. B A t The line “connecting” A and B is a tangent line to the curve. The velocity at that instant of time, v, is represented by the slope of this tangent line.
Instantaneous Velocity from a Graph x B t The instantaneous velocity at B is the slope of the tangent line at B
Example:What is the instantaneous velocityat t=1s? 3.5s? 6 s?What is the average velocity for the first 1 s? the first 3.5 s? the first 6 s? What is the average speed for the first 1 s? the first 3.5 s? the first 6 s? Instantaneous velocity Average velocity Average speed
Acceleration • Average acceleration describes how the velocity changes with respect to time. It is calculated by: Vector SI units: m/s2 • Instantaneous acceleration describes how the velocity changes over a very short time interval: Acceleration tells us how fast the velocity changes whereas velocity tells us how fast the position changes.
Example - A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 87 km/hrin 6.0 s. What is the average acceleration? Average acceleration START 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 0 x 0 4 8 12 16 20m/s v a 4m/s2

Displacement and velocity are in the direction of motion • When acceleration is in the SAME direction as velocity, the object is speedingup • When acceleration is in the OPPOSITE direction to velocity, the object is slowingdown
