    Reference No 1 Displacement

    • If a particle is moving, we can easily determine its change in position.


    The displacement of a particle is defined as its change in position.
    • As it moves from an initial position xi to a final position xf, its
    displacement is given by xf - xi
    • We use the Greek letter delta (∆) to denote the change in a quantity.
    • Therefore, we write the displacement, or change in position, of the
    particle as
    Reference No 1

    • Displacement is an example of a vector quantity.


    • Many other physical quantities, including velocity and acceleration,
    also are vectors.
    • In general, a vector is a physical quantity that requires the
    specification of both direction and magnitude.
    • By contrast, a scalar is a quantity that has magnitude and no
    direction.
    • In this chapter, we use plus and minus signs to indicate vector
    direction.
    Reference No 1
    Reference No 1
    Reference No 1

    • We can do this because the chapter deals with one-dimensional


    motion only; this
    means that any object we study can be moving only along a straight
    line.
    • For example, for horizontal motion, let us arbitrarily specify to the
    right as being the positive direction.
    • It follows that any object always moving to the right undergoes a
    positive displacement , and any object moving to the left undergoes a
    negative displacement x.
    Reference No 1
    Reference No 1 Velocity

    • The average velocity ‘v’ of a particle is defined as the particle’s


    displacement ∆x divided by the time interval ∆t during which that
    displacement occurred:
    Reference No 1 Speed

    • In everyday usage, the terms speed and velocity are interchangeable.


    • In physics, however, there is a clear distinction between these two
    quantities.
    • Consider a marathon runner who runs more than 40 km, yet ends up at his
    starting point.
    • His average velocity is zero! Nonetheless, we need to be able to quantify
    how fast he was running.
    • The average speed of a particle, a scalar quantity, is defined as the total
    distance traveled divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance:
    Avg Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
    Reference No 1 Instantaneous Velocity & Speed

    • The instantaneous velocity vx equals the limiting value of the ratio ∆x/ ∆ t
    as ∆ t approaches zero

    • The instantaneous speed of a particle is defined as the magnitude of its


    velocity.
    Reference No 1
    Reference No 1
    Reference No 1 Acceleration

    • The average acceleration of the particle is defined as the change in


    velocity ∆vx divided by the time interval ∆t during which that change
    occurred:
