1-D Kinematics
• Kinematics– Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that describes
the motion of objects without necessarily discussing what causes the motion.
– 1-Dimensional Kinematics (or 1 - Dimensional motion) refers to motion in a straight line.
• Distance– The total length of the path traveled by an object is
called distance.– “How far have you walked?” is a typical distance
question.– The SI unit of distance is the meter (m).
• Displacement (Dx)– The change in the position of a particle is called
displacement.– ∆ is a Greek letter used to represent the words “change
in”. ∆x therefore means “change in x”. It is always calculated by final value minus initial value.
– “How far are you from home?” is a typical displacement question.
– The SI unit for displacement is the meter. Calculation of displacement: ∆x = xf - xi
• Distance vs Displacement
• A picture can help you distinguish between distance and displacement.

• Another example distance displacement• Walk east 100m
• Turn and walk west 100m
Distance = 100m
Displacement = 100m
Distance = 200m
Displacement = 0m
• Questions• Does the odometer in your car measure distance or
displacement?– Distance
• Can you think of a circumstance in which it measures both distance and displacement?– If you go one direction and stop it will give both
distance and displacement
• If ∆x is the displacement of a particle, and d is the distance the particle traveled during that displacement, which of the following is always a true statement?
a) d = |∆x|b) d < |∆x|c) d > |∆x|d) d ≥ |∆x|e) d ≤ |∆x|
• A particle moves from x = 1.0 meter to x = -1.0 meter.
• What is the distance d traveled by the particle?
• What is the displacement of the particle?
0 m 1 m 2 m 3 m-1 m-2 m-3 m

-2m, must show direction
• You are driving a car on a circular track of diameter 40 meters. After you have driven around 2 ½ times, how far have you driven, and what is your displacement?
40m
C = 2πrC = 2π∙20m
C = 125.66m
Distance = 2.5 125.66m ∙
= 314.16m
Displacement = 40m
• Average Speed– Average speed describes how fast a particle is moving.
The equation is:
– where:save = average speed
d = distance
∆t = elapsed time The SI unit of speed is the m/s
Average speed isalways a positivenumber.
save = d/∆t
• Average velocity describes how fast the displacement is changing. The equation is:
– where:vave = average velocity
∆x = displacement
∆t = elapsed time The SI unit of speed is the m/s
Average velocity is+ or – depending on direction.
vave = ∆x/ ∆t
• How long will it take the sound of the starting gun to reach the ears of the sprinters if the starter is stationed at the finish line for a 100 m race? Assume that sound has a speed of about 340 m/s.
∆t = ? ∆x = 100m vavg = 340 m/s
vave = ∆x/ ∆t ∆t= ∆x/ vave
∆t= 100m / 340 m/s = 0.294 s
• You drive in a straight line at 10 m/s for 1.0 km, and then you drive in a straight line at 20 m/s for another 1.0 km. What is your average velocity?
∆t = ? ∆x = 1km = 1000m vavg = 10 m/s vave = ∆x/ ∆t ∆t= ∆x/ vave
∆t= 1000m / 10 m/s = 100 s
1.
∆t = ? ∆x = 1km = 1000m vavg = 20 m/s vave = ∆x/ ∆t ∆t= ∆x/ vave
2.
∆t= 1000m / 20 m/s = 50 s∆t total= 150s ∆x = 2000m vavg = ? m/s 3.
vave = ∆x/ ∆t = 2000 m /150s = 13.3 m / s
• Qualitative Demonstrations1) Demonstrate the motion of a particle that has an average speed and an average velocity that are both zero.2) Demonstrate the motion of a particle that has an average speed and an average velocity that are both nonzero.3) Demonstrate the motion of a particle that has an average speed that is nonzero and an average velocity that is zero.4) Demonstrate the motion of a particle that has an average velocity that is nonzero and an average speed that is zero.
• You are a particle located at the origin. Demonstrate how you can move from x = 0 to x = 5.0 and back with an average speed of 0.5 m/s.
• What the particle’s average velocity for the above demonstration?– 0 m/s because velocity takes into account the is a sign
change average velocity – in the positive x is +0.5 m/s – in the negative x is – 0.5 m/s

• Instantaneous Velocity– The velocity at a single instant in time.– If the velocity is uniform, or constant, the instantaneous
velocity is the same as the average velocity.– If the velocity is not constant, than the instantaneous
velocity is not the same as the average velocity, and we must carefully distinguish between the two.

• Acceleration (a)– Any change in velocity over a period of time is called
acceleration.– The sign (+ or -) of acceleration indicates its direction.– Acceleration can be…• speeding up• slowing down• turning
• Questions• If acceleration is zero, what does this mean about
the motion of an object?it means the velocity is constant at 0 m/s or
some velocity greater than 0 m/sThe object has a constant speed, and it is
moving in a straight line• Is it possible for a racecar circling a track to have
zero acceleration?No because the race car is changing direction.
When an object changes direction it changes velocity, so it has an acceleration present.
• Uniform (Constant) Acceleration– In Physics B, we will generally assume that acceleration
is constant.– With this assumption we are free to use this equation:
– The SI unit of acceleration is the m/s2.• Acceleration in 1-D Motion has a sign!– If the sign of the velocity and the sign of the
acceleration is the same, the object speeds up.– If the sign of the velocity and the sign of the
acceleration are different, the object slows down.

• Free Fall• Free fall is a term we use to indicate that an object
is falling under the influence of gravity, with gravity being the only force on the object. Air resistance is considered negligible.
• Gravity accelerates the object toward the earth the entire time it rises, and the entire time it falls.
• Freefall is like any other type of accelerated motion; it’s just that the acceleration is pretty well defined. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2.
• The direction of this acceleration is DOWN.

• Symmetry in Free Fall– When something is thrown straight upward under the
influence of gravity, and then returns to the thrower, this is very symmetric.
– The object spends half its time traveling up; half traveling down.
– Velocity when it returns to the ground is the opposite of the velocity it was thrown upward with.
– Acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 and directed DOWN the entire time the object is in the air!
