Topics in Motion in One Dimension
1
Position, Distance and Displacement
- Position is a vector quantity that specifies the location of an object with respect to a chosen reference frame
- Position vector in 1D: r = xi (where x is coordinate and i is unit vector)
- Distance is the actual path length covered by a moving object - always positive scalar
2
Speed and Velocity
- Speed is the rate of change of distance - always positive scalar quantity
- Velocity is the rate of change of displacement - vector quantity
- Average speed = Total distance / Total time taken
3
Acceleration
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time
- Acceleration is a vector quantity - has both magnitude and direction
- Average acceleration = Change in velocity / Time taken
4
Kinematic Equations for Uniformly Accelerated Motion
- Valid only for motion with constant acceleration
- Four fundamental equations relate u, v, a, t, and s
- Can derive any equation from others using algebra
Key Concepts
Position is described by a positionDistance is the actual path lengthSpeed = Distance/Time (scalar)Acceleration a = dv/dt = d²x/dt²For uniform acceleration
