Motion :
s: Displacement v: Velocity a : Acceleration
t-Time
Example of Kinematic
Problem
At What height and
what velocity the hitter
should expect to hit the
ball if initial position
and velocity of the ball
is known.
In the above statement
it is clear that we are
just interested in the
geometry of the motion
and NOT the driving
forces
Two Distinct Parts of
Dynamics
KINETICS
Relating the action of forces on bodies
to their resulting Motions.
INTELLIGENCE CHECK
How was it possible that every single
person in an airplane crash died, but two
people survived?
Lots of Formulas
Using the first 2
Using New Derived equation
Combining Equations
More Equations which can be
derived
INTELLIGENCE CHECK
If an electric train is moving north at
100mph and a wind is blowing to the
west at 10mph, which way does the
smoke blow?
There will be no smoke as it is an Electric
train
