    Chapter 2-Kinematics

    Uploaded by

    antonstefanbiehler
    This document provides definitions and equations related to kinematics, including: 1) It defines displacement, velocity, acceleration, and speed, and distinguishes between scalars and vectors. 2) It presents three equations of motion that apply to uniform acceleration in a straight line. 3) It describes the motion of an object falling with air resistance, noting how acceleration decreases from g as drag force increases over time.

    𝒕 = 𝟎𝒔  Initial velocity is zero
    Above equations are used in a uniform gravitational field without air resistance.
     Only force acting on object is its
    weight
    Projectile Motion (Non-linear motion):
     𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 = 𝒈
    Horizontal Motion: Vertical Motion:
     Velocity constant, Acceleration is 0  Acceleration is constant
    𝒕 = 𝒕𝟏  As object velocity increases, the
    drag force (due to air resistance
    increases from zero.
     𝐹𝑛𝑒𝑡 = 𝑚𝑔 − 𝐹𝐷
     𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 < 𝒈
    𝒕 = 𝒕𝟐  When 𝐹𝐷 = 𝑚𝑔, resultant force on
    object is zero.
     𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 = 𝟎
     Object falls with max. constant
