8.1.1 MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE The simplest type of motion is the motion along a straight line. We shall first learn to describe this by an example. Consider the motion of an object moving along a straight path. The object starts its journey from O which is treated as its reference point (Fig. 8.1). Let A, B and C represent the
66 PHYSICS just as the ordinary numbers*. For example, if the length and breadth of a rectangle are 1.0 m and 0.5 m respectively, then its perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides, 1.0 m + 0.5 m +1.0 m + 0.5 m = 3.0 m. The length of each side is a scalar and the perimeter is also a scalar. Take another example: the maximum and
by the definition of the average velocity, the slope of line P 1P 2 ( Fig. 2.1) gives the value of average velocity over the interval 3 s to 5 s. Fig. 2.1 Determining velocity from position-time graph. V elocity at t = 4 s is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that instant. Now, we decrease the value of ∆t from 2 s to 1 s.

Help students learn the difference between distance and displacement by showing examples of motion. As students watch, walk straight across the room and have students estimate the length of your path. Then, at same starting point, walk along a winding path to the same ending point. Again, have students estimate the length of your path.
velocity = speed + direction of motion Things that have both a magnitude and a direction are called vectors. More on vectors in Ch.3. For 1D motion (motion along a straight line, like on an air track), we can represent the direction of motion with a +/– sign. + = going right .
