Key Concepts in Kinematics
1. Distance and Displacement
Definitions:
Distance: Total path length traveled by the particle.
Displacement: Shortest distance from the initial to final position.
Example Problem:
A particle moves from P to Q along a circular arc. Distance and displacement were calculated based on the arc length and straight line between P and Q respectively.
2. Formulas
Distance on Circumference:
For a circular path, use the formula L = rθ, where θ must be in radians.
Displacement Formula Simplified:
For circular motion, Displacement = 2R sin(θ/2), where R is the radius and θ is the angle in radians.
3. Average Speed and Average Velocity
Average Velocity Formula:
Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time.
Average Speed Formula:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time.
Key Relationship:
Displacement is always less than or equal to distance.
4. Equations of Motion
For Uniform Acceleration:
Several important equations:
v = u + at
s = ut + 0.5at²
v² = u² + 2as
1D Motion under Gravity:
Kinematics equations are the same under gravitational conditions due to constant acceleration (g).
5. One-dimensional Motion Under Gravity
Constants:
g: approximately 9.8 m/s² or often rounded to 10 for calculations.
Time of Flight for Dropped Objects:
For a dropped object from height H:
Time taken = √(2H/g)
Impact velocity = √(2gH)
Essential Takeaways
Symmetry in Motion:
The time taken to rise equals the time taken to fall in gravity.
Graph Analysis:
Different types of graphs (displacement-time, velocity-time) reveal information about motion characteristics.
Important Relationships to Remember
Distance Covered in nth Second:
Use s_n = u + (1/2)a(2n - 1) for constant acceleration.
For Projectiles:
Maximum height, time of ascent and displacement relationships.
Conclusion
Motion involves key formulas and relationships in understanding kinematics. Important questions often recur in the NEET syllabus, so mastering these is crucial.
