1.Speed: measure of how fast something is moving. 2.Average Speed: The average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total amount of time it took. 3.Constant Speed: speed that does not change 4.Elapsed time: time that has elapsed, or passed, since the beginning of the event.

Linear Motion

 Kinematics is the study of how things move, but does not address the question of why they move.

 The study of why things move is called dynamics.

 Therefore, the “general” term for the study of motion MECHANICS  Kinematics + Dynamics =MECHANICS

Understanding physics begins with motion or the study of displacement. A.Terms related to motion -changing the position of a moving object in a particular direction is called magnitude. Displacement has vector (quantity) & direction & so a vector quantity, represented by a straight line segment from 1 point to another.

- Relative motion is the displacement of an object in relation to objects considered stationary & can either be motion in a straight line, or a curved line (path). We will examine straight line motion first.

TERMS RELATED TO MOTION

 Displacement:  Displacement: change in position due to a “difference” in start position and final position  Distance + Direction = Velocity  Displacement is used with the term “velocity” EXAMPLE

 When we describe something in motion, we are comparing it to something else. Example: A car is driving 45 miles per hour: You only know it is moving because the road and trees around it are staying still.

 So, for motion to be found, there must be something that is stationary---called a reference point

I. –Speed (measure of how fast something moves) define as the time rate of motion. a. If speed is constant, a straight line graph will be found since at any randomly chosen interval, the same value would be given. Speed=distance/time b. Average speed-divide total distance covered by the elapsed time; does not include the different speeds & variations taking place.

 When you measure speed, it is based on the “TOTAL” distance covered  OR, “how far” an object has traveled in a given amount of time

 “per” means “every”  So, 45 miles per hour is saying that something moves a distance of 45 miles EVERY hour (distance/time)

c. – Instantaneous speed—speed at instant, can be determined easily by a speedometer.

 Velocity is a “vector” quantity, therefore it has direction  The main difference between speed & velocity---- velocity has direction and displacement EXAMPLE  Velocity has displacement (position) which means that there is an “initial” point and a “final” point- --d f or d i

 Velocity (speed in a given direction)-a vector quantity since velocity has magnitude & direction; may be a positive or negative value depending on the direction object is moving.

A. Average velocity- the total displacement divided by the total elapsed time. B. Constant velocity-constant speed (motion at same speed) constant direction (motion in a straight line) C. Changing or variable velocity-either speed or direction changes.
