Aecleration s Kinematic Equations for tnformly Accelerated Motion + Relative Velocity a Introduction When we look around, we see a number of activities happening around us such as moving leaves of trees when the wind blows, vehicles moving on roads, children playing etc. Even in our body we can see the examples of movements like the movement of air in and out of our lungs during breathing, beating of heart, flowing of blood etc. Our solar system belongs to the milky way galaxy in which all the planets including earth are moving around the sun. Sun is also moving in the milky way. The galaxy itself is not stationary, it is also moving in a group of galaxies known as local group. In all these cases, there is something common i¢., ‘movement’, but how can we say that the objects are moving?They are moving as their position is changing with time, which is known as motion) So we can say that motion is that ‘something’ which is commorrfeverything in the universe. Now question arises. How does the position of object change with time? While moving in a bus or a train when we look out, trees or buildings appear to be moving backwards. What is the reason behind this illusion? How can we compare the motion of two objects? To answer these questions we have to study motion in detail. ‘Kinematics’ is a branch of physics which deals with the study of motion without considering the factors which causes motion In this chapter_we shall confine ourselves to the study of rectilinear motion ie., the motion of objects along a straight line and to simplify our study, we will consider the object in motion as point objects. This is an imaginary concept which is valid if the distances covered by the object ina given duration of time is very large as compared to its size. For example a car travelling hundreds of kilometre can be taken as a point object. In this chapter we will study How to describe straight-line motion in terms of average velocity, instantaneous velocity, average acceleration, and instantaneous acceleration. Position-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs for straight line motion of objects. Equations of motion for uniformly accelerated motion, to solve problems involving straight line motion. The concept of relative velocity, to compare the motion of two objects. “ash Educational Services Limited - Regd.
