1. Chapter 2 Kinematics in One Dimension

2. Mechanics: Study of motion in relation to force and energy, ie, the effects of force and energy on the motion of an object. Kinematics – Mechanics that describes how an object moves, no reference to the cause (force) or mass of the object. [Gk: kinema = movement]. Dynamics– Mechanics that deals with force: why objects move.

3. To describe motion of an object, we need to specify its position, displacement, velocity and acceleration. Chap 2: Motion in one dimension only – along a straight line. Horizontal direction: position = x, displacement  x, velocity v x, acceleration a x. Vertical direction: position = y, displacement  y, velocity v y, acceleration a y. Chap 4 will discuss kinematics in 2-dimension [circular motion, projectile motion]. Introduction

6. Consider a car driven at a perfectly steady 60 miles per hour on a long and straight section of the highway. In the first hour it will travel 60 mi. In the second hour it will cover another 60 mi. etc. We say the car is moving with uniform motion. Uniform Motion

7. Uniform motion is a straight line motion where: Equal displacements are covered in any successive equal intervals of time. The velocity is constant. The graph of position versus time is a straight line.

8. Uniform Motion t x xx xx 1 2 3 4 60 120 180 240 0 0 position velocity t v 1 2 3 4 20 40 60 80 0 0

9. Non-uniform Motion An object in non-uniform motion – means velocity does not stay uniform (constant) during the motion. Either its magnitude or direction changes. Moving along a straight line with varying speed, or moving along a curved path. x(t) tt v(t)

10. Average Velocity Velocity is the rate of change of position with time. The average velocity is displacement divided by the change in time. v ave =  x/  t v ave = slope of position vs time graph v ave = (x f – x i )/(t f – t i ) x t xx tt

11. Instantaneous velocity is the limit of average velocity as  t gets small. It is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of x(t) versus t. It is the derivative of x(t) with respect to t. Instantaneous Velocity

15. The position of an object changes with time according to the expression x = t 2 + 3t - 9 (a) What is the velocity of the object at t = 3 s? (b) What is the position of the object when its velocity is 11 m/s? Example

16. Area Under velocity-time Graph Area under the velocity-time graph = magnitude of the displacement over the time interval. time (s) velocity (m/s) uniform (constant) velocity t1t1 t2t2 Area = v(t 2 -t 1 ) = (x 2 – x 1 ) =  x time (s) velocity (m/s)

17. Example A sprinter starts from rest and runs with a constant acceleration for 6 s before reaching his maximum speed. He then runs at the maximum speed the rest of the way. If he ran the 200 m in 25.0 s, at what speed did he cross the finish line?

18. Average acceleration = Motion with Constant Acceleration Constant acceleration – straight line motion where the speed changes at a constant rate. A car moving north. At time t=2sec, its speed is 4 m/s. At t=4 sec, its speed is 8 m/s. At t=6 sec, its speed is 12 m/s. Every 2 sec, its speed changes by 4 m/s. OR, every 1 sec, its speed changes by 2 m/s. It is moving with constant acceleration: a = 2 m/s/s = 2 m/s 2 north. Uniformly accelerated motion – when an object moves with constant acceleration.

19. Uniform (Constant) Acceleration An object moving with uniform acceleration – means acceleration stays uniform (constant) throughout the motion. Its magnitude and direction stays the same. Its velocity changes uniformly. Moving along a straight line. a = slope t a(t) v(t) t vv tt

20. Graphical Representation velocity, v (m/s) Time, t (s) Slope of the line = average acceleration O If the slope is zero, the object is moving with zero acceleration (constant velocity)

21. Motion with Constant Acceleration t v a = slope of the velocity-time graph T/F? If the acceleration of an object is zero, it must be at rest. T/F? If an object is at rest, its acceleration must be zero. a<0 a>0

Kinematic Equations for Constant Acceleration v f = v i + a  t x f = x i +v i  t + ½a  t 2 v f 2 = v i 2 + 2a  x Average velocity v ave = (v i + v f )/2 Uniformly accelerated motion: a = constant. Time: Initial = t i, final = t f Positions: Initial = x i, final = x f Velocity: Initial = v i, final = v f

While going up the incline the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.4 m/s 2. Draw a graph of v x versus t. What is the speed of the train after 8.0s on the incline? How far has the train traveled up the incline after 8.0 s?

28. Free Fall Free fall: Only force of gravity acting on an object making it fall. Effect of air resistance is negligible. Motion in vacuum. Motion of objects in air where air resistance is negligible (not feather). Force of gravity acting on an object near the surface of the earth is F = W = mg. Acceleration of any object in free fall: a = 9.8 m/s 2 down (a y = -9.8 m/s 2 ). g = 9.8 m/s 2 hence a y = -g
