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 .

Free Fall Case 3- object thrown upward. Initial velocity is upward, so it is toward positive y axis. The instantaneous velocity at the maximum height is zero Velocity and displacement are positive after time , t, from initial point. a = g everywhere in the motion and g = - 9.8 m/s2. g is always downward, negative.

Instantaneous acceleration of the proton at t = 3s. P6: A rocket is launched vertically from the ground with an initial velocity of 80m/s. It ascends. with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2 to an altitude of 10 km. Its motors then fail, and the. rocket continues upward as a free fall particle and then falls back down.

The motion of an object shows its changing position, as discussed earlier. But varying objects show varying types of motion. Like for example, a fan is said to be in motion though it is static in its place or a hanging clock that shows motion though it is hanging in its position. We say that motion is mainly of three types: Rectilinear Motion,
1.7: Examples of 2-Dimensional Motion Using what we just derived regarding the parallel and perpendicular components of acceleration, we turn now to the special cases of circular and projectile motion. 1.8: Relative Motion Our last topic for motion in multiple dimensions relates what different observers of the same motion measure for velocities.
• Kinematics – branch of physics; study of motion • Position (x) – where you are located • Distance (d) – how far you have traveled, regardless of direction • Displacement (Dx) – where you are in relation to where you started Distance vs. Displacement • You drive the path, and your odometer goes up by 8 miles (your distance).
Motion may be divided into three basic types — translational, rotational, and oscillatory. The sections on mechanics in this book are basically arranged in that order. The fourth type of motion — random — is dealt with in another book I wrote. Motion that results in a change of location is said to be translational.
