Motion in One Dimension Flashcards
A field of physics which focuses on the study of motion.
Mechanics
What are the two types of Mechanics?
Kinematics & Dynamics
This describes the motion while ignoring the external agents that might have caused or modified the motion.
Continual change in object’s position.
Kinematics
What are the different types of motion?
Translational, Rotational, Vibrational
A type of motion in which all parts of the body move in the same distance at a given time.
Translational Motion
What are the two types of Translational Motion?
Rectilinear Motion & Curvilinear
The body travels in a straight path
Rectilinear Motion
The body moves in a curved path
Curvilinear
The total length of the object travels.
Distance
The shortest length between an object’s start and end point.
Displacement
Rate of distance traveled
Speed
Rate of change in displacement of an object at a given time.
Velocity
