⚫ 1 minute!!! Discuss with the person next to you: Is the
speed of the ball different relative to the pitcher, the truck
driver, and the jet pilot? Why or why not?
KINEMATICS OF
TRANSLATION
The motion of objects can be described by
words. Even a person without a background in
physics has a collection of words that can be
used to describe moving objects. Words and
phrases such as going fast, stopped, slowing
down, speeding up, and turning provide a
sufficient vocabulary for describing the motion
of objects. In physics, we use these words and
many more. We will be expanding upon this
vocabulary list through this lesson.
Some Physics Quantities
Vector - quantity with both magnitude (size or numerical
value) and direction
Scalar - quantity with magnitude (size or numerical
value) only
Vectors: Scalars:
• Displacement • Distance
• Velocity • Speed
• Acceleration • Time
• Momentum • Mass
• Force • Energy
Kinematics
Right – Positive
Left – Negative

QUESTION 1
To describe the motion of
an object, what must be
exactly determined?
Reference Point and Position
⚫ To locate an object we need a reference
point
⚫ Reference Point – the origin – the starting point
you choose to describe the position of an object.
⚫ We also then need to consider where the
object is relative to the origin – the position of
the object.
⚫ Position (x) – where you are located
⚫A complete description of position
includes: •Distance, Direction and
Reference Point
Position
⚫ The object’s position
is its location with
respect to a chosen
reference point.
⚫ Consider the point to
be the origin of a
coordinate system.
⚫ In the diagram, allow
the road sign to be
the reference point.
QUESTION 2
What refers to the total
length of path taken by an
object to move from its initial
to its final position?
Distance
⚫ Distance (d) – how far an object travels.
⚫ Does not depend on direction.
⚫ Scalar or vector quantity? Scalar

Displacement vs.
Distance
⚫ Example of distance:
⚫ The ant walked 3 cm.
⚫ Example of displacement:
⚫ The ant walked 3 cm EAST.
⚫ An object’s distance traveled and
its displacement aren’t always the
same!
QUESTION 4
Answer the
practice problem in
the next slide.
Practice Problem 1
⚫ An athlete runs around a track that is 100 meters
long three times, then stops.
⚫ What is the athlete’s distance and displacement?
⚫ Distance = 300 m
⚫ Displacement = 0 m

practice problem in
the next slide.
Practice Problem 1
⚫ An athlete runs around a track that is 100 meters
long three times, then stops.
⚫ What is the athlete’s distance and displacement?
⚫ Distance = 300m; Displacement = 0
⚫ Why is the
displacement
zero?

Rates
⚫A rate measures how
fast something changes.
⚫In physics, a rate is
almost always calculated
as a quantity divided by
time.
QUESTION 6
What refers to the rate
at which an object
moves?
Speed
⚫ Speed (s) – Rate at
which an object moves;
⚫ speed = distance
traveled by a body in a
given time
⚫ Units: m/s OR km/h
⚫ Like distance, speed
does not depend on
direction.
⚫ Scalar or Vector? Scalar
Average Speed
⚫ Average speed - Total distance
traveled divided by total time traveled.
Types of Speed
⚫ Constant speed - Speed that does not
change (same distance is travelled the same
amount of time)

⚫ Distancetraveled: 7 cm
⚫ Displacement: +3 cm
⚫ Average speed: (7 cm) / (5 s) = 1.4 cm/s
⚫ Average velocity: (+3 cm) / (5 s) = +0.6 cm/s
QUESTION 8
What refers to the rate
of change in velocity?
Acceleration
⚫ Acceleration – the rate at which velocity
changes
⚫ Can be an:
⚫ Increasein speed (Change in magnitude)
⚫ Decrease in speed (Change in magnitude)
⚫ Change in direction
⚫ OR BOTH
Types of acceleration
⚫ Increasing speed
⚫ Example: Car speeds up at green light
⚫ Changing Direction
⚫ Example: Car takes turn (can be at constant
speed)

QUESTION 10
What do we call the
simplest type of
accelerated motion in
a straight-line?
Uniformly Accelerated
Motion
⚫ Thesimplest type of accelerated
motion is a straight-line motion with
constant acceleration.
⚫In this type of motion, the
velocity changes by equal
amounts in a specified time
interval.
