Kinematics
Kinematics is the science of describing themotion of objects using words, diagrams,numbers, graphs, and equations.
Kinematicsis a branch of mechanics (SEM 1).
The goalof any study of kinematicsis todevelop sophisticated models which serve todescribe howreal-world objects move.

Todays Objectives
Understand what is meant by a reference
frame when describing motion.
Define and Explain the differences between
distance/displacement and speed/velocity.
Understand what a vector is and how it can be
used to represent a displacement or a velocity.

Measuring The Motion of Objects
Observe the lab table in the front of your class
room. Is it inmotion?
Think Again!

Every time we describe the motion of an
object, we mustdefine a frame of reference.
A frame of reference consists of:
An origin (a starting point, like the point (0,0) on
a graph)
At least 1 Axis with consistent units.
And it is usually at rest (but not always!)
Frame of Reference

Displacement
As an object moves from one location toanother, the length of a straight line path from
the initial position to the final position is
called the displacement.

7/23
Displacement (continued)
Displacement is not always equal to distance
traveled.
Observe your teacher take 2 steps forward then 2
steps back!
Displacement can be positive or negative.
(Remember, we measure from a referenceframe!)

1. What is the total distance traveled in meters?
= 1.5 + 3 + 3 + 1.5 = 9 km = 9x103
m = 9,000 m
2. What is the total displacement in meters?
= 0 m
A long distance runner travels the path shown.

Speed
Speed is a measure of how fast something is going.
We often talk about instantaneous speed (speed atany instant, like what your speedometer on your car
reads) and measured average speed (the total distance
traveled divided by the total time it takes).
Average Speed = distance / time
Example Units: Mph Km/hr m/s

Velocity
Velocityis a measure of how fast something is goingin a specified direction.
Average Velocity = x / t Where xis displacement

Review Question
During a race on level ground, Andra runs with
an average velocity of 6.02 m/s to the east.
What is Andras displacement after 137 s?

Words you think mean the same thing...
We often use the following words interchangeably:
Distance & displacement
Speed & velocity
However, there is a MajorDifference:
Displacement and velocity are vector quantities.
That is, they have a magnitude and a direction.
32 mph North
6.29 m/s East
18 Km South

So far, We have discussed several ways to represent velocityand speed: words, numbers, equations, and now graphs.
Representing Motion With Graphs
Position = Distance (in cm for lab)
Note that your line points up and to the
right. This is considered a positive slope.
Remember m = slope = Rise = DY
Run DX
Displacement vs. Time

Graphs (continued)
Speed = distance / time
in this lab:
S = x / t
Recall: m = Slope = Rise/Run
= Y / x
Using the Information given, what does the slope represent in this following
graph? (see question # 15 on your lab as well)
Thats Right!
Slope = Speed
In this case m = Y / X =
Distance / time = speed!!!

Understanding Slope
Which car has a higher constant speed?
Clearly the red car moves much faster then the blue car so it has a higherconstant speed.
But also look at the graphs! The slope of the red line is steeper than the blue
line.
Rule: A steeper line means bigger slope.
In this case, the bigger slope is the bigger constant speed!!!!!

Understanding Slope
What slope Is the biggest?
Which slope is equal to zero?
Which is slope is equal to one?

Slopes of Curves
Can you define a constant slope for the graphbelow?
So explain what is happening to the speed in thisgraph.

Instantaneous Speed
Speed at various times can still be found.
We must use slopes of tangent lines.
8/12/2019 Chapter 2, Linear Motion (sec. 1).ppt
22/23
Tangent Lines
Do not cross (intersect) the curve.
Touch the curve at only one point.
Indicate the instantaneous speed for any point
on a distance vs. time graph.
