of Translation
Position
• Refers to the location
of an object with
respect to a frame
reference.
Frame of Reference
• A system that allows an observer to
specify quantitatively where and when
something is observe
Motion is divided into two:
• Kinematics – describes the motion in
terms of displacement, velocity and
acceleration

1. A car travels along a straight road to the east
for 100 meters in 4 seconds, then go the west for
50 meters in 1 second. Determine average speed
and average velocity.
Solution:
Distance
100 meters + 50 meters = 150 meters
Displacement
100 meters – 50 meters = 50 meters, to east.

2. A person walks 10 meters east in 1 second, then
walks 3 meters west in 1 second. Determine
average speed a and average velocity.
Solution

Acceleration
• Acceleration (𝑎) refers to the
change in velocity with respect to
time

3. A car accelerates from rest to 48 m/s in 6 seconds. (a.) What is
the average acceleration of the car ? (b) How far did it travel
during this time period?
