Chapter 2
Motion in One Dimension
Kinematics To describe motion while ignoring the
agents that caused the motion For now, we will consider motion in one
dimension - along a straight line -, and use the particle model. A particle is a point-like object, has mass
but infinitesimal size
Position Defined in terms of
a frame of reference The reference frame
must has an origin. The object’s position
is its location with respect to the origin of the frame of reference.
Position-Time Graph The position-time
graph shows the motion of the particle (car)
The smooth curve is a guess as to what happened between the data points
Displacement Defined as the change in position during
some time interval t Represented as x
Xi is the initial position and Xf is the final position.
Different than distance – the length of a path followed by a particle

Average Velocity The average velocity is rate at which
the displacement occurs
The dimensions are length / time [L/T] The slope of the line connecting the
initial and final points in the position – time graph

Average Velocity, cont Gives no details about the motion Gives the result of the motion It can be positive or negative
It depends on the sign of the displacement It can be interpreted graphically
It will be the slope of the position-time graph
Displacement from a Velocity - Time Graph
The displacement of a particle during the time interval ti to tf is equal to the area under the curve between the initial and final points on a velocity-time curve
Instantaneous Velocity The limit of the average velocity as the
time interval becomes infinitesimally short, or as the time interval approaches zero
The instantaneous velocity indicates what is happening at every point of time
Instantaneous Velocity, graph The instantaneous
velocity is the slope of the line tangent to the x vs. t curve
This would be the green line
The blue lines show that as t gets smaller, they approach the green line
Instantaneous Velocity, equations The general equation for instantaneous
velocity is
When “velocity” is used in the text, it will mean the instantaneous velocity

Instantaneous Velocity, Signs
At point A, vx is positive The slope is positive
At point B, vx is zero The slope is zero
At point C, vx is negative The slope is negative
Instantaneous Speed The instantaneous speed is the
magnitude of the instantaneous velocity vector Speed can never be negative

2.3 Constant Velocity If the velocity of a particle is constant
Its instantaneous velocity at any instant is the same as the average velocity over a given time period
vx = v x avg = x / t
Also, xf = xi + vx t
These equations can be applied to particles or objects that can be modeled as a particle moving under constant velocity

2.4 Average Acceleration Acceleration is the rate of change of the
velocity
It is a measure of how rapidly the velocity is changing
Dimensions are L/T2
SI units are m/s2

Instantaneous Acceleration – Graph The slope of the
velocity vs. time graph is the acceleration
Positive values correspond to where velocity in the positive x direction is increasing
The acceleration is negative when the velocity is in the positive x direction and is decreasing

2.5 Negative Acceleration Negative acceleration does not
necessarily mean that an object is slowing down If the velocity is negative and the
acceleration is negative, the object is speeding up
Deceleration is commonly used to indicate an object is slowing down, but will not be used in this text
43
Acceleration and Velocity, 1 When an object’s velocity and
acceleration are in the same direction, the object is speeding up in that direction
When an object’s velocity and acceleration are in the opposite direction, the object is slowing down
44
Acceleration and Velocity, 2
The car is moving with constant positive velocity (shown by red arrows maintaining the same size)
Acceleration equals zero
45
Acceleration and Velocity, 3
Velocity and acceleration are in the same direction Acceleration is uniform (blue arrows maintain the
same length) Velocity is increasing (red arrows are getting longer) This shows positive acceleration and positive velocity
46
Acceleration and Velocity, 4
Acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions Acceleration is uniform (blue arrows maintain the
same length) Velocity is decreasing (red arrows are getting shorter) Positive velocity and negative acceleration

Only valid when acceleration is constant

This formula gives the position of the particle in terms of the initial and final velocities
The acceleration is not given.

Kinematic Equations, specific As constant acceleration is given,
Gives final position in terms of initial velocity and acceleration
The final velocity is not necessary in this formula.

The final velocity is determined by initial velocity, acceleration and displacement

2.7 Freely Falling Objects A freely falling object is any object
moving freely under the influence of gravity alone
It does not depend upon the initial motion of the object Dropped – released from rest Thrown downward Thrown upward
72
Acceleration of Freely Falling Object The acceleration of an object in free fall is
directed downward, regardless of the initial motion
The magnitude of free fall acceleration is g = 9.80 m/s2
g decreases with increasing altitude g varies with latitude 9.80 m/s2 is the average at the earth’s surface
73
Acceleration of Free Fall, cont. We will neglect air resistance Free fall motion is constantly
accelerated motion in one dimension Let upward be positive Use the kinematic equations with ay = g
= -9.80 m/s2
The negative sign indicates the direction of the acceleration is downward

Free Fall Example Initial velocity at A is upward (+) and
acceleration is g (-9.8 m/s2) At B, the velocity is 0 and the
acceleration is g (-9.8 m/s2) At C, the velocity has the same
magnitude as at A, but is in the opposite direction
The displacement is –50.0 m (it ends up 50.0 m below its starting point)
