REST AND MOTION Motion in a Straight Line INTRODUCTION ‘Kinematics is that branch of mechanics, which Aescribes the motion of bodies without reference to the forces that ether cause the motion orare generated asaresult ofthe motion, Kinematics is often referred toas the “geometry of motion’. We start ou study of -kinematis by first discussing inthis chapter the motion ‘of a particle, A particle isa physical analogous of a point A particle i a body whose physical dimensions fare so small compared with the radius of curvature of its path that we can teat the motion of a particle as that of a point Rest and motion are relative term. They can not be defined absolutely. An objctis said tobe in motion if dtsposton changes wih respetto observer ina iv20 time.

Presently, we begin the description of translational motion. BASIC DEFINITIONS OF KINEMATICS Displacement (§ or Ar): Change in position vector is called displacement. Its magnitude is minimum distance between final and initial point, and is directed from initial position to final position. Fora particle moving along x axis, motion from one position x, 10 another position xis displacement, Axwhere, Ax=x)—%} Ifthe particle moves from x, ‘Ax = (12m) ~ (4m) = +8m. The positive result indicates that the motion is in the positive direction. If the particle then returns (0 x = 4m, the displacement for the full tip is zero, The actual ‘number of meters covered forthe full tip is irrelevant displacement involves only the original and final position. In general if inital postion veetor and final position imo x)= 12m, then vectorare &, and % respectively, then S-%-t°m DISTANCE: Length of path traversed by a body is called distanee. Itis dependent on the path chosen, thus for motion between two fixed points A and B we ean have many different values of distance traversed. Itis a sealar quantity, as length of path has no indication of tion init, Its ST unit is metre (m) and dimensions 8). 8. Suppose a particle moves from position A to B as shown after travelling from A to B to C to D. ‘S07 Sol.
