6. Introduction This is a branch of mechanics which deals with the description of the motion of objects, without references to the forces which act on the system. In kinematics, we will study the following two types of motion: (a) one dimensional motion, i.e. along a straight line (b) two dimensional motion – projectile motion.

7. Displacement Displacement is the distance travelled along a specific direction. vector quantity. symbol is s. SI unit is the metre, m. Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the body. Note: Definition:

8. Displacement 10 m Distance = 10 m Displacement ??? 10 m (i) (f) (i) (f) Displaced 10 m to the right Displaced 10 m to the left

9. Velocity Velocity is the rate of change of distance along a specific direction, or simply the rate of change of displacement. vector quantity. SI units are m s -1 symbol is u (initial speed) or v (final speed). is not always equal to. Note: Definition:

10. Velocity (Quick check!) A car travels from point A to point B with the following speeds: 20 m s -1 for 2.0 s 40 m s -1 for 2.0 s 60 m s -1 for 6.0 s What is the average speed of this car for this journey? A 12 m s -1 B 13.3 m s -1 C 40 m s -1 D 48 m s -1  A B = total distance / time

11. Velocity (Quick check!) Then same car now travels back from B to A with the following speeds: 60 m s -1 for 4.0 s 40 m s -1 for 6.0 s What is the average speed of this car for the whole journey? A 24 m s -1 D 96 m s -1 C 40 m s -1 B 48 m s -1  A B = 480 x 2 / 20

13. Acceleration Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. vector quantity. SI units are m s -2 symbol is a. The acceleration of a body is constant or uniform if its velocity changes at a constant rate. Note: Definition: more

14. Retardation / Deceleration Retardation or deceleration is a term used to describe a decrease in the magnitude of velocity with time. Occurs when velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions. a v accelerating a v decelerating

15. Retardation / Deceleration Are these objects undergoing constant velocity? (c)a change in direction only e.g. circular motion. (b) a change in both magnitude and direction. (a)a change in magnitude e.g. body speeding up or slowing down.

16. Uniformly accelerated motion Refers to motion where the velocity of a body is changing at a steady rate. (constant acceleration) a toy car sliding down a slope a ball being thrown in the air. Eg) v t Constant acceleration  no acceleration

17. Acceleration due to gravity, g ( constant acceleration) Acceleration due to gravity is produced by the gravitational field of the earth and it is always directed downward relative to the earth’s surface. It can be taken to be constant at 9.81 m s -2 (unless otherwise stated)

20. Displacement-Time Graph (i)instantaneous displacement (the displacement of a body at any instant of time) (ii)instantaneous velocity (gradient of the graph at a particular point) (iii) average velocity Useful information from this graph:

21. Displacement-Time Graph eg) Consider a car traveling along the x-axis. What deduction can be made about the car’s motion if its displacement-time relation is represented by (i) Graph 1 and (ii) Graph 2?

22. Graph 1 Displacement-Time Graph

23. Graph 1: (a) The displacement x carries only positive values. This implies that the car moves along the positive x direction. (b) The displacement x increases uniformly with time, thus the velocity of the car remains constant. (c) Average velocity = =

24. Graph 2 Displacement-Time Graph

25. Graph 2: (a) Since the displacement x remains positive throughout the motion, the car’s positions remain to the right of the origin O. (b) At points A and C, the car is stationary, since its displacement x is not changing at these two points. (c) Around B, the displacement x increases uniformly with time, so the car must be traveling in the positive x- direction with uniform velocity.

26. Displacement-Time Graph Graph 2: (d) After point C, the displacement x of the car is decreasing. This implies that the car is traveling in the opposite direction, i.e. the negative direction. (e) The gradient at D is greater than at E. Thus, the magnitude of the velocity at D is greater than at E. (f) Around E, the displacement x decreases with time at a decreasing rate up to F. This shows that the car eventually stops at F.

34. Sign Conventions (Quick check!) eg) A motorist travelling at 13 m s -1 approaches traffic lights which turn red when he is 25 m away from the stop line. His reaction time (time between seeing the red lights and applying the brakes) is 0.70 s and the condition of the road and his tyre is such that he cannot slow down at a rate of more than 4.5 m s -2. If he brakes fully, what is the total distance covered when he finally comes to a stop? (A) 22 m(B) 28 m (C) 36 m(D) 41 m

37. Projectile Motion A projectile motion can be considered as a combination of two independent components of motion: (i) horizontal motion with constant speed throughout, zero acceleration (since there is no acceleration horizontally), assuming there is no air resistance. (ii) vertical motion with uniform acceleration (for example due to gravity g). More (fire max range) More (monkey) more

38. Projectile Motion  u u cos  u sin  u cos  The horizontal motion is a constant velocity motion. Hence the equation of motion is simply s x =(u cos  ) t Horizontally:

39. Projectile Motion Vertically:  u u cos  u sin  The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion (acc = g). The equations of motion are given by the kinematics equations e.g. v=usin  -gt s y = (usin  )t - ½(g)t 2 v 2 = ( usin  ) 2 - 2(g)s y g

40. Projectile Motion Steps to success in projectile motion: Draw a good diagram with all the data shown. Draw the path of the motion of the body for better visualisation. Decide on your sign convention. Indicate your initial and final positions of the body on the path of the motion. Use the appropriate kinematics equation. Decide on the direction of analysis (vertical or horizontal).
