Kinematics

Physics 11  Kinematics is the description of the motion of


objects (without reference to the forces producing
Chapter 2: the motion).
Motion in One Dimension  In Chapters 1 and 2, we are restricting our
study of motion in 3 ways:

Kinematics
Position 1) The motion is along a straight line only
Instantaneous and Average Velocity
Instantaneous and Average Acceleration 2) The cause of motion (forces) not discussed
Motion Diagrams and x, v, and a Graphs
Free Fall 3) All objects are treated as particles

Position Position
position  vector quantity that describes 4.0 m
where an object is with respect to a reference x  4.0m
origin
point (origin)  The object is 4.0 m to
the left of the origin.
 In one dimensional motion, direction is
indicated by + or -.
y  2.0m
 Unless otherwise stated, we will assume 2.0 m
 The object is 2.0 m above
that to the right is + (in the x direction) and
the origin.
up is + (in the y direction). origin

Representing Position Representing Position
 There are different ways to represent position.  Another way is with a motion diagram as we

 A third way is
with a graph of x
versus t.

Representing Position Average and Instantaneous Velocity

 Remember that velocity


is defined as displacement
divided by time interval:

x
vx 
t

 We can therefore get the


velocity of an object from

the slope of the position-
all points of space, we can make the graph a continuous

curve called a position-versus-time graph.

Average and Instantaneous Velocity Average and Instantaneous Acceleration

Given a plot of x versus t:


Given a plot of v versus t:
 The average velocity  The average acceleration
(between 2 times) is equal (between 2 times) is equal to
to the slope of the line that the slope of the line that
connects the two points. connects the two points.

 The instantaneous  The instantaneous acceleration


velocity (at a given time) is (at a given time) is equal to the
slope of the tangent line.
equal to the slope of the
tangent line.

Equations of Constant Acceleration Freefall
 Without air resistance (in freefall),
Equations of constant acceleration: all objects accelerate at the same rate,
regardless of their mass or size.

x f  (v)x i ax t
 Near the Earth’s surface, the
acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2

xf x (v x) i t  1 a (t)

 The distance between successive
2 images increases as the object’s speed
(v(v 2
)x fx i) 2a xx increases (at a rate of 9.8 m/s every
second).

Freefall

Freefall motion is symmetric:

 time up = time down


(assuming y = y0)

 speed at a given height is the


same on the way up as it is on the
way down (velocities are
different)

This can sometimes be very useful in problem


solving.
