History

Galileo (1564-1642)

- beginning of rational understanding

- Bringing a scientific approach

Newton (1642-1727)

-guided by galileo’s work

- accurate formulation on the laws of
motion
-formulate law of gravitation

Two major areas of dynamics

1. Kinematics
- Description of geometric and time
dependent aspect. WITHOUT FORCE
2. Kinetics
- Effects of forces and torque causing
motion.
MODULE 2

Rectilinear motion – particle moving along

straight line.

Position – straight line path of a particle is

defined using single coordinate

Magnitde of x – the distance from o to the

particles position.

Position coordinate (x) – specify the location of

particle p

Displacement – change in its position

Instantaneous velocity – limit of quotient

Speed – Magnitude of velocity

Average acceleration quotient of ^t and ^v

Instantaneous acceleration lim of v/t

Deceleration – speed of particle decreases

Special cases and relative motion, we derive

the equations that describe uniform rectilinear
motion

Uniform rectilinear motion

Type of straight line motion encounterd in

practical application

Dependent motion, position of particles

depends on the position of another particles
