CHAPTER 1

KINEMATICS OF A PARTICLE

Page 12: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

1.1 Introduction & 1.2 Rectilinear Kinetics: Continuous Motion

Today’s Objectives:Students will be able to find the kinematic quantities (position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration) of a particle traveling along a straight path.

In-Class Activities:• Applications• Relations between s(t), v(t),

and a(t) for general rectilinear motion• Relations between s(t), v(t), and a(t) when acceleration is

constant

Page 13: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS

The motion of large objects, such as rockets, airplanes, or cars, can often be analyzed as if they were particles.

Why?

If we measure the altitude of this rocket as a function of time, how can we determine its velocity and acceleration?

Page 14: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS (continued)

A train travels along a straight length of track.

Can we treat the train as a particle?

If the train accelerates at a constant rate, how can we

determine its position and velocity at some instant?

Page 15: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

An Overview of Mechanics

Statics: the study of bodies in equilibrium

Dynamics: 1. Kinematics – concerned with the geometric aspects of motion 2. Kinetics - concerned with the forces causing the motion

Mechanics: the study of how bodies react to forces acting on them

Page 16: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

POSITION AND DISPLACEMENT

A particle travels along a straight-line path defined by the coordinate axis s.

The position of the particle at any instant, relative to the origin, O, is defined by the position vector r, or the scalar s. Scalar s can be positive or negative. Typical units for r and s are meters (m) or feet (ft).

The displacement of the particle is defined as its change in position.

Vector form: r = r’ - r Scalar form: s = s’ - s

The total distance traveled by the particle, sT, is a positive scalar that represents the total length of the path over which the particle travels.

Page 17: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

VELOCITY

Velocity is a measure of the rate of change in the position of a particle. It is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction). The magnitude of the velocity is called speed, with units of m/s or ft/s.

The average velocity of a particle during a time interval t is

vavg = r/t

The instantaneous velocity is the time-derivative of position.

v = dr/dt

Speed is the magnitude of velocity: v = ds/dt

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by elapsed time: (vsp)avg = sT/ t

Page 18: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

ACCELERATION

Acceleration is the rate of change in the velocity of a particle. It is a vector quantity. Typical units are m/s2 or ft/s2.

The instantaneous acceleration is the time derivative of velocity.

Vector form: a = dv/dt

Scalar form: a = dv/dt = d2s/dt2

Acceleration can be positive (speed increasing) or negative (speed decreasing).

As the book indicates, the derivative equations for velocity and acceleration can be manipulated to get

a ds = v dv

Page 19: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

SUMMARY OF KINEMATIC RELATIONS:RECTILINEAR MOTION

• Differentiate position to get velocity and acceleration.

v = ds/dt ; a = dv/dt or a = v dv/ds

• Integrate acceleration for velocity and position.

• Note that so and vo represent the initial position and velocity of the particle at t = 0.

CONSTANT ACCELERATION

The three kinematic equations can be integrated for the special case

when acceleration is constant (a = ac) to obtain very useful equations.

A common example of constant acceleration is gravity; i.e., a body

freely falling toward earth. In this case, ac = g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2

EXAMPLE

Plan: Establish the positive coordinate s in the direction the

motorcycle is traveling. Since the acceleration is given

as a function of time, integrate it once to calculate the

velocity and again to calculate the position.

Given: A motorcyclist travels along a straight road at a speed

of 27 m/s. When the brakes are applied, the

motorcycle decelerates at a rate of -6t m/s2.

Find: The distance the motorcycle travels before it stops.

Page 22: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

EXAMPLE (continued)Solution:

2) We can now determine the amount of time required for the motorcycle to stop (v = 0). Use vo = 27 m/s.

0 = -3t2 + 27 => t = 3 s

1) Integrate acceleration to determine the velocity.

a = dv / dt => dv = a dt =>

1.3 Rectilinear Kinematics: Erratic Motion

Today’s Objectives:

Students will be able todetermine position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle using graphs.

In-Class Activities:

• Reading quiz

• Applications

• s-t, v-t, a-t, v-s, and a-s

diagrams

Page 24: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATION

In many experiments, a velocity versus position (v-s) profile is obtained.

If we have a v-s graph for the rocket sled, can we determine its acceleration at position s = 300 meters ?

How?

Page 25: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

GRAPHING

Graphing provides a good way to handle complex motions that would be difficult to describe with formulas. Graphs also provide a visual description of motion and reinforce the calculus concepts of differentiation and integration as used in dynamics.

The approach builds on the facts that slope and differentiation are linked and that integration can be thought of as finding the area under a curve.

Page 26: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

S-T GRAPH

Plots of position vs. time can be used to find velocity vs. time curves. Finding the slope of the line tangent to the motion curve at any point is the velocity at that point (or v = ds/dt).

Therefore, the v-t graph can be constructed by finding the slope at various points along the s-t graph.

Page 27: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

V-T GRAPH

Plots of velocity vs. time can be used to find acceleration vs. time curves. Finding the slope of the line tangent to the velocity curve at any point is the acceleration at that point (or a = dv/dt).

Therefore, the a-t graph can be constructed by finding the slope at various points along the v-t graph.

Also, the distance moved (displacement) of the particle is the area under the v-t graph during time t.

Page 28: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

A-T GRAPH

Given the a-t curve, the change in velocity (v) during a time period is the area under the a-t curve.

So we can construct a v-t graph from an a-t graph if we know the initial velocity of the particle.

Page 29: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

A-S GRAPH

This equation can be solved for v1, allowing you to solve for the velocity at a point. By doing this repeatedly, you can create a plot of velocity versus distance.

A more complex case is presented by the a-s graph. The area under the acceleration versus position curve represents the change in velocity

(recall a ds = v dv ).

Page 30: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

V-S GRAPH

Another complex case is presented by the v-s graph. By reading the velocity v at a point on the curve and multiplying it by the slope of the curve (dv/ds) at this same point, we can obtain the acceleration at that point.

a = v (dv/ds)

Thus, we can obtain a plot of a vs. s from the v-s curve.

Page 31: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

EXAMPLE

Given: v-t graph for a train moving between two stations

Find: a-t graph and s-t graph over this time interval

EXAMPLE (continued)

Solution: For the first 30 seconds the slope is constant and is equal to:

The area under the v-t graph represents displacement.

s0-30 = ½ (40)(30) = 600 ft

1.4 General Curvilinear Motion & 1.5 Curvilinear Motion: Rectangular Components

Today’s Objectives:Students will be able to:a) Describe the motion of a

particle traveling along a curved path.

b) Relate kinematic quantities in terms of the rectangular components of the vectors.

In-Class Activities:• Applications• General curvilinear motion• Rectangular components of

kinematic vectors

Page 35: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS

The path of motion of each plane in this formation can be tracked with radar and their x, y, and z coordinates (relative to a point on earth) recorded as a function of time.

How can we determine the velocity or acceleration of each plane at any instant?

Should they be the same for each aircraft?

Page 36: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS (continued)

A roller coaster car travels down a fixed, helical path at a constant speed.

How can we determine its position or acceleration at any instant?

If you are designing the track, why is it important to be able to predict the acceleration of the car?

Page 37: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

POSITION AND DISPLACEMENT

A particle moving along a curved path undergoes curvilinear motion. Since the motion is often three-dimensional, vectors are used to describe the motion.

A particle moves along a curve defined by the path function, s.

The position of the particle at any instant is designated by the vectorr = r(t). Both the magnitude and direction of r may vary with time.

If the particle moves a distance s along the curve during time interval t, the displacement is determined by vector subtraction: r = r’ - r

Page 38: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

VELOCITY

Velocity represents the rate of change in the position of a particle.

The average velocity of the particle during the time increment t isvavg = r/t .

The instantaneous velocity is the time-derivative of positionv = dr/dt .

The velocity vector, v, is always tangent to the path of motion.

The magnitude of v is called the speed. Since the arc length s approaches the magnitude of r as t→0, the speed can be obtained by differentiating the path function (v = ds/dt). Note that this is not a vector!

Page 39: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

ACCELERATION

Acceleration represents the rate of change in the velocity of a particle.

If a particle’s velocity changes from v to v’ over a time increment t, the average acceleration during that increment is:

aavg = v/t = (v - v’)/t

The instantaneous acceleration is the time-derivative of velocity:

a = dv/dt = d2r/dt2

A plot of the locus of points defined by the arrowhead of the velocity vector is called a hodograph. The acceleration vector is tangent to the hodograph, but not, in general, tangent to the path function.

Page 40: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS: POSITION

It is often convenient to describe the motion of a particle in terms of its x, y, z or rectangular components, relative to a fixed frame of reference.

The position of the particle can be defined at any instant by the position vector

r = x i + y j + z k .

The x, y, z components may all be functions of time, i.e.,x = x(t), y = y(t), and z = z(t) .

The magnitude of the position vector is: r = (x2 + y2 + z2)0.5

The direction of r is defined by the unit vector: ur = (1/r)r

Page 41: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS: VELOCITY

The magnitude of the velocity vector is

v = [(vx)2 + (vy)2 + (vz)2]0.5

The direction of v is tangent to the path of motion.

Since the unit vectors i, j, k are constant in magnitude and direction, this equation reduces to v = vxi + vyj + vzk

where vx = = dx/dt, vy = = dy/dt, vz = = dz/dtx y z•••

The velocity vector is the time derivative of the position vector:

v = dr/dt = d(xi)/dt + d(yj)/dt + d(zk)/dt

Page 42: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS: ACCELERATION

The direction of a is usually not tangent to the path of the particle.

The acceleration vector is the time derivative of the velocity vector (second derivative of the position vector):

a = dv/dt = d2r/dt2 = axi + ayj + azk

where ax = = = dvx /dt, ay = = = dvy /dt,

az = = = dvz /dt

vx x vy y

The magnitude of the acceleration vector is

a = [(ax)2 + (ay)2 + (az)2 ]0.5

Page 43: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

EXAMPLE

Given:The motion of two particles (A and B) is described by the position vectors rA = [3t i + 9t(2 – t) j] m rB = [3(t2 –2t +2) i + 3(t – 2) j] m

Find: The point at which the particles collide and their speeds just before the collision.

Plan: 1) The particles will collide when their position vectors are equal, or rA = rB .

2) Their speeds can be determined by differentiating the position vectors.

Page 44: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

EXAMPLE (continued)

1) The point of collision requires that rA = rB, so xA = xB and yA = yB .

Solution:

x-components: 3t = 3(t2 – 2t + 2)Simplifying: t2 – 3t + 2 = 0Solving: t = {3 [32 – 4(1)(2)]0.5}/2(1)=> t = 2 or 1 s

y-components: 9t(2 – t) = 3(t – 2)Simplifying: 3t2 – 5t – 2 = 0Solving: t = {5 [52 – 4(3)(–2)]0.5}/2(3)=> t = 2 or – 1/3 s

So, the particles collide when t = 2 s. Substituting this value into rA or rB yields

xA = xB = 6 m and yA = yB = 0

Page 45: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

EXAMPLE (continued)

2) Differentiate rA and rB to get the velocity vectors.

Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector.

vA = (32 + 182) 0.5 = 18.2 m/svB = (62 + 32) 0.5 = 6.71 m/s

vA = drA/dt = = [3i + (18 – 18t)j] m/s

At t = 2 s: vA = [3i – 18j] m/s

jyAixA.

vB = drB/dt = xBi + yBj = [(6t – 6)i + 3j] m/s

At t = 2 s: vB = [6i + 3j] m/s

1.6 MOTION OF A PROJECTILE

Today’s Objectives:

Students will be able to

analyze the free-flight motion of

a projectile.

In-Class Activities:

• Check homework, if any

• Applications

• Kinematic equations for

projectile motion

Page 47: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS

A kicker should know at what angle, , and initial velocity, vo, he must kick the ball to make a field goal.

For a given kick “strength”, at what angle should the ball be kicked to get the maximum distance?

Page 48: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS (continued)

A fireman wishes to know the maximum height on the wall he can project water from the hose. At what angle, , should he hold the hose?

Page 49: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

CONCEPT OF PROJECTILE MOTION

Projectile motion can be treated as two rectilinear motions, one in the horizontal direction experiencing zero acceleration and the other in the vertical direction experiencing constant acceleration (i.e., gravity).

For illustration, consider the two balls on the left. The red ball falls from rest, whereas the yellow ball is given a horizontal velocity. Each picture in this sequence is taken after the same time interval. Notice both balls are subjected to the same downward acceleration since they remain at the same elevation at any instant. Also, note that the horizontal distance between successive photos of the yellow ball is constant since the velocity in the horizontal direction is constant.

Page 50: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

KINEMATIC EQUATIONS: HORIZONTAL MOTION

Since ax = 0, the velocity in the horizontal direction remains constant (vx = vox) and the position in the x direction can be determined by:

x = xo + (vox)(t)Why is ax equal to zero (assuming movement through the air)?

Page 51: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

KINEMATIC EQUATIONS: VERTICAL MOTION

Since the positive y-axis is directed upward, ay = -g. Application of the constant acceleration equations yields:

vy = voy – g(t)

y = yo + (voy)(t) – ½g(t)2

vy2 = voy

2 – 2g(y – yo)

For any given problem, only two of these three equations can be used. Why?

Page 52: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

Example 1

Given: vo and θFind: The equation that defines

y as a function of x.Plan: Eliminate time from the

kinematic equations.

Solution: Using vx = vo cos θ and vy = vo sin θ

We can write: x = (vo cos θ)t or

y = (vo sin θ)t – ½ g(t)2

t =x

vo cos θ

y = (vo sin θ) x g xvo cos θ 2 vo cos θ

1.7 CURVILINEAR MOTION:NORMAL AND TANGENTIAL COMPONENTS

Today’s Objectives:Students will be able todetermine the normal and tangential components of velocity and acceleration of a particle traveling along a curved path.

In-Class Activities:• Check homework, if any• Applications• Normal and tangential

components of velocity and acceleration

• Special cases of motion

Page 54: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS

Cars traveling along a clover-leaf interchange experience an acceleration due to a change in speed as well as due to a change in direction of the velocity.

If the car’s speed is increasing at a known rate as it travels along a curve, how can we determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration?

Why would you care about the total acceleration of the car?

Page 55: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

APPLICATIONS (continued)

A motorcycle travels up a hill for which the path can be approximated by a function y = f(x).

If the motorcycle starts from rest and increases its speed at a constant rate, how can we determine its velocity and acceleration at the top of the hill?

How would you analyze the motorcycle's “flight” at the top of the hill?

Page 56: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

NORMAL AND TANGENTIAL COMPONENTS

When a particle moves along a curved path, it is sometimes convenient to describe its motion using coordinates other than Cartesian. When the path of motion is known, normal (n) and tangential (t) coordinates are often used.

In the n-t coordinate system, the origin is located on the particle (the origin moves with the particle).

The t-axis is tangent to the path (curve) at the instant considered, positive in the direction of the particle’s motion.The n-axis is perpendicular to the t-axis with the positive direction toward the center of curvature of the curve.

Page 57: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

NORMAL AND TANGENTIAL COMPONENTS (continued)

The positive n and t directions are defined by the unit vectors un and ut, respectively.

The center of curvature, O’, always lies on the concave side of the curve.The radius of curvature, , is defined as the perpendicular distance from the curve to the center of curvature at that point.

The position of the particle at any instant is defined by the distance, s, along the curve from a fixed reference point.

Page 58: 252 APPLIED ENT MECHANICS Program: B. Eng. (Mechanical) School of Mechatronic Engineering Universiti Malaysia Perlis UniMAP

VELOCITY IN THE n-t COORDINATE SYSTEM

The velocity vector is always tangent to the path of motion (t-direction).

The magnitude is determined by taking the time derivative of the path function, s(t).

v = vut where v = s = ds/dt.

Here v defines the magnitude of the velocity (speed) andut defines the direction of the velocity vector.

ACCELERATION IN THE n-t COORDINATE SYSTEM

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity:a = dv/dt = d(vut)/dt = vut + vut

. .

Here v represents the change in the magnitude of velocity and ut represents the rate of change in the direction of ut.

..

. a = vut + (v2/)un = atut + anun.

After mathematical manipulation, the acceleration vector can be expressed as:

ACCELERATION IN THE n-t COORDINATE SYSTEM (continued)

There are two components to the acceleration vector:

a = at ut + an un

• The normal or centripetal component is always directed toward the center of curvature of the curve. an = v2/

• The tangential component is tangent to the curve and in the direction of increasing or decreasing velocity.

at = v or at ds = v dv.

• The magnitude of the acceleration vector is a = [(at)2 + (an)2]0.5

SPECIAL CASES OF MOTION

There are some special cases of motion to consider.

2) The particle moves along a curve at constant speed. at = v = 0 => a = an = v2/.

The normal component represents the time rate of change in the direction of the velocity.

1) The particle moves along a straight line. => an = v2/ a = at = v

.

The tangential component represents the time rate of change in the magnitude of the velocity.

SPECIAL CASES OF MOTION (continued)

3) The tangential component of acceleration is constant, at = (at)c.In this case,

s = so + vot + (1/2)(at)ct2

v = vo + (at)ct

v2 = (vo)2 + 2(at)c(s – so)

As before, so and vo are the initial position and velocity of the particle at t = 0. How are these equations related to projectile motion equations? Why?

4) The particle moves along a path expressed as y = f(x).The radius of curvature, at any point on the path can be calculated from

= ________________]3/2(dy/dx)21[ 2d2y/dx

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOTION

If a particle moves along a space curve, the n and t axes are defined as before. At any point, the t-axis is tangent to the path and the n-axis points toward the center of curvature. The plane containing the n and t axes is called the osculating plane.

A third axis can be defined, called the binomial axis, b. The binomial unit vector, ub, is directed perpendicular to the osculating plane, and its sense is defined by the cross product ub = ut x un.

There is no motion, thus no velocity or acceleration, in the binomial direction.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM

Given: Starting from rest, a motorboat travels around a circular path of = 50 m at a speed that increases with time, v = (0.2 t2) m/s.

Find: The magnitudes of the boat’s velocity and acceleration at the instant t = 3 s.

Plan: The boat starts from rest (v = 0 when t = 0).1) Calculate the velocity at t = 3s using v(t).2) Calculate the tangential and normal components of acceleration and then the magnitude of the acceleration vector.
