Assignment‘STATE OF A BODY
Reference Point
‘The location (or position) of an object is described by specifying a reference point. The point from which location
| observed and measured Is called the reference point. This reference point is calied origin.
For example - If we say that a school ig situated 5 km east of a temple. We have specified the position of
the school with respect to the temple. In this example the temple is the relerence point
‘A system of geometric axis in relation to which measurements of size, position or motion can be made is
called frame of reference,
Rest
If an object does not change its position with respect to a fixed point taken as a reference point in its
‘surrounding with the passage of time, itis said to be at rest
For example - A book placed on a table remains:en the table, if not disturbad by anybody. Therefore. its positon
fs not changing with respect to the table with the passage of tme and we can say that the book is at rest
with respect to the table.
‘An object is said to be in motion, if t changes its position with respect Io a reference point in its surroundings
with the passage of time.
For example - A moving car changes its position with respect to its surroundings with the passage of time.
‘An object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for another person. Rest and motion ara
not significant without viewer. Nothing is at absolute rast arin absolute motion
For example - A robber enters into 3 moving bus. brings out his knife and says, “don't move, stand sti” The:
passengers stand stil, The passengers are at rest with respect to the robber but are moving with respect ta
the road.
Hence, we conclude that the state of mation and rast le a combined property of the abjact under consiceration
‘and the observer.
‘Types af Motion
‘There are various types of motion as an abject may move in various ways. An abject moving in a straight ling
{is said to have rectilinear motion. A body moving along = curved path is said to have curvilinear motion. Ant
‘object moving around a fixed point has rotatory mation. The pendulum of a clack moves to-and-fra about the
‘mean position and is said to have oscillatory mation. The motion of a sitar string, when plucked exhibits vibratory
‘motion. if an abject possesses two oF more lypes of motion at the same time, then such a motion is called
"muttiple motion. For example, the tyres. of a truck moving along a straight road exhibit wo types of motion,
1e,, Fotatory motion a well as rectilinear motion.
‘The branch of physics which deals with the study of the motion of objects and their response to force
is called mechanics.
SCALAR AND VEGTOR QUANTITIES
When you want fo know the temperature outside so that you will know how to dress, the only information you
head is a number and a unit “°C” of “F." Temperature is therefore, an example of a scalar quantity. A physical
quantity that is completely specified by a number and appropriate units is called a scalar quantity. Hence,
hhishad aicdeiaed bas coated Uap Ghaaha sabas UA die Sepals dh ahd a anaI you are gotting ready to pilot a srnall plane and need to know the wind velocity. you must know both the:
speed of the wind and its direction. Therefore, velocity is a vector quantity, which Is defined as. a physical
‘quantity that is completaly specified by 4 number and appropriate units plus a direction. Henoe,
‘A vector quantity must have magnitude as well as direction and obeys the laws of vector addition.
Examples = Displacement, velocity, momentum, force, torque ete.
{A particle moves from A to & and then from B to C, its displacement from its intial positian is shawn by the
broken line from A to C.
‘Suppose a particle moves from point A to point & along a straight line and then tums towards right an moves
from point 6 to point C along a straight line. We represent the displacoment of the particle by drawing an arrow
from A to C with an arrow directing from ital to final position as shown by AC in the above figure. The length
of the arrow reprosents the magnitude of the displacement of the particle.
By Pythagoras Theorem, the displacement will be V3? 14? ~ 5 m
‘Now, if he displacement would have baen a seslar quantty then its magnitude: should be the algebraic addition
je, 3m+ 4m-= 7m. But this ie not so, as discussed before the displacement is 5 m. This kind of addition
{is called vector addition and the quantiies obeying this addition are always vector quantities.
MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE OR RECTILINEAR MOTION.
‘The simplest type of motion is the motion along a straight line, alse known as rectilinear motion.
For example - A car is moving along a straight line path as shown below

When a body travels along a straight line in the same direction, then the distance it travels is equal ta
its displacement.
There are various situations when a body has travelled a certain distance yet it has zero displacement.
For example -If'we take & round trip and come back to the starting point then, although we have travelled
Some distance, our net displacement will be zero because, the inital and final position are same,

of the cyclist?

The cyclist travels @ distance of 500 m each time he completes one lap. Since he completes 10 laps, total
distance travelled by him is $000 m. To find his displacement, wo draw ai line segment from tho starting point

Instantaneous Velocity and Speed
“The average velocity and the average speed of an object tellus, how fast the abject is moving in a given time
interval, but it doos not give information thal how fast the object is moving al different instants. For example.
‘3 man drives from his home to office, His average speed can be found out by dividing the total distance travelled
by him by the total fime taken. But during his joumey he increases or decreases the speed of the car i.
speed of the car is not same al different instants.
Instantaneous Velocity
“The velocity of an object at a particular instant or at a particular point ofits path is called instantaneous velocity
de. the instantaneous velocity of the object can be defined as the average velocity aver an infinitesimally small
time interval
Instantaneous Speed
“Tho speed at any instant of lime is callod the instantaneous speed. Generally, instantaneous speed is simply
called speed.
‘Some Important Points :
Ifa object moves along a straight line without changing its direction, then the magnitude of the average
velority is equal to the average speed.

Relative Velocity:
‘You must have observed how a car that 's moving slowly forward appears to be moving backward when your
‘car pass it. In general, when two abservers measure the welocity of a moving body, they get different results
if one observer is moving relative to the other. The velocity seen by a particular observer is called the velocty
relative to that observer, of simply relative velocity. The following figure shows a situation in which
understanding relative velocity is extremely important.
"+ When two objects A and 8 are moving with diferent velocities, than the velocity of one object “A with
respect to another object B is called relative velocity of object A with respect to B and Is given by
