Motion Motion along a straight line


• Everything moves!
• Classification and - this is the simplest type of motion
comparison of motion - it lays the groundwork for more
🢧 kinematics complex motion
• Simplification Kinematic variables in one
– Motion along straight LA Newark dimension
Position x(t) meters
line
Velocity v(t) meters/second
– Forces cause changes in
motion Acceleration a(t) meters/second 2

– Moving object is a
particle or moves like a
particle
All depend on time
particle All are vectors: have direction and magnitude.

One Dimensional Position: x(t) Displacement Along a Straight Line
Position is a vector quantity.
Position has both a direction and magnitude. Must define: t = 0
Position has units of [Length]: meters.
Must define:

x = 0 some position
(Origin)

positive direction for x
Displacement: x1 = 3 m
Displacement is a change of position in time. x2 = -2 m
It is a vector quantity. x = -5 m
x=3m
It has both a direction and magnitude.
It has units of [Length]: meters.

Velocity Velocity is a vector !


• Average velocity

=-8/9 m/s
 -0.9 m/s
• Average speed
=8/9 m/s
 0.9 m/s

• Instantaneous velocity

Velocity has direction !


Velocity is the rate of change of position Velocity can change with time
Lecture 2 Andrei Sirenko, NJIT 11 Lecture 2 Andrei Sirenko, NJIT 12
Instantaneous Velocity Velocity
Consider smaller time intervals:

Instantaneous
velocity v(t) is the Example of negative v
Velocity is positive in the same
slope of the direction as x is positive
tangent line to x(t)
Example of a constant
acceleration:
t changes
v(t) = at
with time !
v(t) is a straight line
v(t) is a function of
time ! 13 Lecture 2 Andrei Sirenko, NJIT 14

Acceleration
• Average acceleration Constant
Acceleration

• Instantaneous acceleration
(a > 0)
v(t) = v0 + at;
• Constant acceleration
x(t) - x0 = v0 t +at2/2

x(t) - x0 = (v(t) 2- v02)/2a

Lecture 2 Andrei Sirenko, NJIT 17 Lecture 2 Andrei Sirenko, NJIT 18

What does zero mean ?



t=0 beginning of the process
 x = 0 is arbitrary; can set where you want it
 x0 = x(t=0); position at t=0; do not mix with the origin


v (t) = 0 x does not change x(t) - x0 = 0
 v0 = 0 v(t) = at; x(t) - x0 = at2/2

a=0 v(t) = v0; x(t) - x0 = v0 t

a0 v(t) = v0 + at; x(t) - x0 = v0 t +at2/2
help: t = (v - v0)/a x - x0 = ½(v 2- v02)/a
a = (v - v0)/t x - x0 = ½ (v + v0 )t
Acceleration and velocity are positive in the same
direction as displacement is positive

Sample Problem
An elevator is initially stationary, then
moves upward (which we take the positive
direction of x), and then stops. Plot v as a
function of time.
(a) x(t) curve for an upward moving elevator
cab
(b) v(t) curve for the cab. Note v = dx/dt!
(c) a(t) curve for the cab. Note a =dv/dt!
