LESSON 1: Kinematics The displacement of an object is zero when the
object moves back from where it started.
Kinematics - describes a motion of a body or Distance cannot be equal to zero for a moving
object with considering all of the forces involved object.
- motion along a straight line
- under classical mechanics LESSON 2: Uniformly Accelerated Motion
- subfield of physics (UAM)
Topic under kinematics
- motion in one direction/dimension Uniform Motion
- graphical representation and analysis of motion - Constant speed with constant direction
- motion under the influence of gravity Uniformly Accelerated Motion
- motion in two dimensions - Changing velocity with uniform rate of
- motion of projectile change in velocity
An object is accelerating when there is/are:
Reference Point - changing speed
- place, object or background that is used for - changing direction
comparison to determine if something is in motion - changing speed and direction
Distance
- scalar quantity which measures total length of Acceleration is the measure of how fast the object
path traveled changes its velocity.
- denoted by d △𝑉𝑥 𝑉𝑥−𝑉0𝑥
𝑎𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 =
Displacement 𝑡 𝑡
- vector quantity
- positive or negative Uniformly Accelerated Motion Equations
- denoted by x-x₀
Equation 1:
Average Speed 𝑉𝑥 = 𝑉0𝑥 + 𝑎𝑥𝑡
- is operationally defined as the total distance Equation 2:
traveled over time. 𝑉𝑥² = 𝑉0𝑥² + 2𝑎𝑥(𝑥 − 𝑥₀)

LESSON 3: Free Fall Motion
- is operationally defined as the change in position
over time.
𝑥−𝑥0 Free Fall Motion
⊽= 𝑡
where x-x₀ is displacement (in + or - - object/body is acted by gravity alone
meters) and t is time (in seconds) - neglects air resistance/ air friction
𝑉𝑥+𝑉0𝑥
⊽= 2 Case 1: Object is dropped
𝑉0𝑦 = 0 𝑚/𝑠
When the displacement is zero, the average
Case 2: Object is thrown downward
velocity is also equal to zero.
𝑉0𝑦 ≠ 0 𝑚/𝑠 (𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒)
The direction of displacement determines the
direction of the velocity. Case 3: Object is thrown upward
