Kinematics Kinematics are a branch of mechanics

concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that cause the motion.

4

DynamicsThe branch of mechanics concerned with the

motion of bodies under the action of forces.

5

SpeedIn kinematics, the instantaneous speed of an

object is the magnitude of its instantaneous velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus the scalar equivalent of velocity.

6

AccelerationAcceleration is the

change in velocity over time. Velocity is a vector, it can change in two ways, a change in magnitude and/or a change in direction.

Galileo’s RampA large wooden

ball is rolled down a ramp, and there are markings for each intervals to measure acceleration.

7

Newton’s 1st LawNewton’s first law of motion, states that a

body remains at rest or in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

8

Newton’s 2nd Law

• Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the imposed force and goes in the direction of the force.  9

Newton’s 3rd Law

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.
