Forces and Motion 1

The document discusses vectors, their definitions and properties including magnitude, direction, and how they can be added, subtracted, and scaled. It also defines displacement, distance, average and instantaneous velocity, and average and instantaneous acceleration. Finally, it presents the kinematic equations of motion for one-dimensional constant acceleration relating displacement, initial/final velocities, time, and acceleration.

FORCES & MOTION - 1

VECTORS – REVIEW
Vector is defined in space Vectors can be added/subtracted graphically (tail to tip)
by magnitude and direction (or angle) IN ANY ORDER
Force / Velocity / Acceleration / Electric field…

Vectors can be scaled up or down

Vector components are projections onto coordinate axes


FORCES & MOTION - 1
VELOCITY (SPEED) & ACCELERATION (1D case)
Displacement
difference between the initial and final positions,
can be positive or negative

Distance
length of the whole path travelled by an object –
absolute value

Average Velocity = Displacement / time

Average Speed = Distance / time

Instantaneous Velocity Acceleration


Average:
∆vx
a av =

∆t

Instantaneous:

∆ v x dv x
a x = lim =
∆ t →0 ∆t dt
