OBJECT IS ACCELERATING
KINEMATIC EQUATIONS
(for uniformly accelerated motion*)
wherein:
d = displacement
t = time interval
vi = initial velocity
vf = final velocity
a = uniform / constant acceleration
Intro
•In the absence of external forces, an object at rest
remains at rest and an object in motion continues
in motion with a constant velocity.
object.
F
Net force is balanced
A spacecraft
keeps going
because no forces
act to stop it
The large man has more inertia – more force is necessary to start
him swinging and also to stop him – due to his greater inertia
Unbalanced forces result in motion

LOCOMOTION
Dynamics
• study of the
causes of motion
Freely Falling Objects
• When an object falls under the
influence of gravity alone, it is in a
state of free fall
• In the absence of air resistance, all
objects falling near the earth’s surface
fall with a constant acceleration
g = acceleration due to gravity
velocity of a falling object = g x time
Acceleration due to Gravity (g)
• g = 9.80 m/s²
• g is always directed
downward, toward the center
of the earth
• Ignoring air resistance and
assuming g doesn’t vary with
altitude over short vertical
distances, free fall is
constantly accelerated motion
Important to Remember
•An object in free fall experiences an acceleration of -9.8
m/s2. (The - sign indicates a downward acceleration.)
Whether explicitly stated or not, the value of the
acceleration in the kinematic equations is -9.8 m/s2 for
any freely falling object.
•If an object is merely
dropped (as opposed to
being thrown) from an
elevated height, then the
initial velocity of the object
is 0 m/s.
Important to Remember
•If an object is thrown upwards in a
perfectly vertical direction, then it
will slow down as it rises upward.
The instant at which it reaches the
peak of its trajectory, its velocity is
0 m/s. This value can be used as
one of the motion parameters in
the kinematic equations; for
example, the final velocity (vf) after
traveling to the peak would be
assigned a value of 0 m/s.

which takes 3 seconds to hit the ground. What is the

PROJECTILE MOTION
Projectile Motion
• the motion of object in two dimensions
(horizontal and vertical components)
- an object following a projectile motion is
called a projectile
• acted by gravity alone (air resistance is
negligible)
• the path that a projectile follows is called its
trajectory
- trajectory of a projectile results in a
parabola (since it moves both along
the horizontal and vertical directions)
Dropped from Thrown vertically Thrown upward at an angle
rest upward to the horizontal

Component

equal displacements in equal
time periods
Initial horizontal velocity
equals final horizontal velocity
CHANGES (due to gravity) DOES NOT cover equal displacements in equal time periods
Both the magnitude and direction change. As the projectile moves UPWARD, the
magnitude DECREASES and the direction is UPWARD. Once it reaches the top of its flight
path, it will start to move DOWNWARD, then the magnitude INCREASES (because it is
gaining speed from force of gravity) and the direction is DOWNWARD.
Combining the 2 components:
Together, these
components
produce a
parabolic
trajectory or path
(characteristic of
all projectiles)

What is Momentum (p) ?
• The quantity of motion of a moving body – “mass in motion”
• All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has
momentum - it has its mass in motion.
• Dependent upon two variables: how much object is moving
and how fast the object is moving.
What is Momentum (p) ?
• Momentum depends on two variables: mass and velocity
• Momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object
times the velocity of the object. (kg.m/s)
Momentum (p) = Mass (m) * Velocity (v)
