2Chapter Kinematics REMEMBER Before beginning this chapter you should be able to: • Define terms such as rest and motion, scalar and vector, distance and displacement, speed and velocity, acceleration and retardation • Recall the concept of motion and its applications KEY IDEAS After completing this chapter you should be able to: • Understand the term kinematics • Know the types of motion: projectile and uniform circular motion • Define the scalar and vector quantities • Understand the basic terms and to determine the equations of motions relating to these terms • Derive the equations of motion for the objects projected upwards and falling freely under gravity • Discuss the motion of an object on a plane • Explain the motion of objects by graphical representation
2.2 Chapter 2 INTRODUCTION In the present chapter, the focus is on the study of equations which describe the motion of a body and discuss the properties of freely falling bodies, vertically projected bodies and bodies undergoing projectile motion. At first, let us review some important terms and concepts. Kinematics is the branch of mechanics dealing with the study of the motion of particles, without taking into account the forces and energies involved. A particle (point object) is an object without extent. A particle is said to be at rest if its position, relative to the surroundings, does not change with respect to time. A particle is said to be in motion if its position, relative to the surroundings, changes with respect to time. Motion and rest refer to the state of bodies described in relation to its surroundings. Example: Consider any building on the Earth. It is at rest with respect to the Earth. Since the Earth revolves a round the sun as well as it rotates on its own axis, all the objects on the Earth are in motion. Hence, there is no absolute rest. It means the building is at rest with respect to its surroundings but in motion with respect to sun. Types of Motion In day to day life, we come across various types of motion, like the motion of the planet, the motion of wind, etc. Motion can be classified into: 1. Random motion 2. Translational motion 3. Rotational motion 4. Oscillatory or vibratory motion Random Motion In this type of motion, the particles move randomly, i.e., they do not move along a definite path. Example: The motion of dust particles in wind or in air. Translational Motion In this type of motion, every particle of the body has the same displacement. Translational motion can be along a straight line or along a curved path. The motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion and the motion along a curved path is called curvilinear motion. Example: Rectilinear motion: Train speeding along a straight track. It is also referred to as one dimensional motion. Example: Curvilinear motion: The path of a ball hit by a batsman for a sixer. This type of motion is also referred to as a two or three dimensional motion.
Kinematics 2.3 Rotational Motion If the particles of the body revolve in a circle about the same axis, then the motion is said to be rotational. Examples: 1. Rotation of Earth on its axis 2. Pulley used in drawing water 3. Merry Go round 4. A great wheel 5. Motion of a fan. Oscillatory or Vibratory Motion A to and fro motion about a fixed point is called oscillatory or vibratory motion. Examples: 1. When the string of a guitar is plucked, it performs an oscillatory motion. 2. The motion of the pendulum of a clock. SCALARS AND VECTORS Physical quantities that can be defined using magnitude only are known as scalar quantities. Examples: Distance, speed, mass, density, temperature. Physical quantities that can be defined only if both its magnitude and direction are specified are called vector quantities. Examples: Velocity, acceleration, force, torque. Distance is the length of the path from the initial position to the final position, traced by the particle while in motion. It is a scalar quantity, and is path-dependent. Example: Consider two places A and B. One can reach B from A by three different ways: 1. Along ACDB C1 D 2. Along AOB 3. Along the straight line AB 3 B The length of the path varies. Hence, the distance travelled is not the same in A 2 the three cases though the initial and final positions are the same. S.I. unit of distance is metre (m). O C.G.S. unit of distance is centimetre (cm). FIGURE 2.1 DISPLACEMENT It is the length of the directed straight line connecting the initial and the final positions of a body in motion in a given time interval. It refers to the change of position with reference to direction. Displacement is a vector quantity, and is independent of the path.
2.4 Chapter 2 The magnitude of a displacement is the length of the shortest path from the initial to final position, i.e., it is the length of the line segment joining the initial position and final position. The displacement vector is directed away from the initial position and towards the final position. The unit of distance as well as that of the displacement is centimetre in C.G.S. system and metre in S.I. system. Example: Let us consider the example given earlier for distance. The displacement is always the length of the straight line AB, (the shortest distance) and is directed from A to B (irrespective of the path traversed) Displacement = AB Note AB ≠ BA AB = BA But, Vectors are represented by directed line segments. The arrow of the directed line segment indicates the direction of the vector. The length of the directed line segment drawn to scale represents the magnitude of the vector. Example: If a person moves along a straight path in the east direction for a distance of 3 km (P to Q) and then turns towards right and moves straight and covers a distance Q East of 4 km (towards south and reaches a point R), the total displacement of the P 3 km person is obtained by drawing a straight line from P to R, as shown in the Fig. 2.2. 4 km 5 km If the length of the line segment PQ is 3 cm, the scale taken is 1 cm = 1 km, then the length of the line segment QR would be 4 cm and accordingly R South we get the length of the line segment PR as 5 cm. As the scale taken is 1 cm for 1 km, the magnitude of the total displacement is 5 km and the direction FIGURE 2.2 is nearly along south-east. ∴ PR = PQ + QR ( )Now, the total displacement PR = 5 km along approximate south-east is obtained as ( ) ( )the sum of the displacements 3 km along east PQ and 4 km along south QR . Thus, the two individual displacements PQ and QR are considered as the “component” of the displacement PR . Thus, the vector PR is said to be resolved into PQ and QR , the individual components that are perpendicular to each other. This representation of one vector as a sum of two component vectors is called resolution of a vector.
Kinematics 2.5 SPEED Speed is the rate of distance travelled. It is the ratio of the distance travelled to the time taken to cover that distance. Speed = distance Time It is a scalar quantity. The unit of speed is cm s–1 in C.G.S. system and m s–1 in S.I. system. Instantaneous speed is the speed of a particle at a given instant. It is defined as the ratio of the distance travelled in an extremely small interval of time tending to zero. Average Speed It is the ratio of the total distance to the total time taken. x4 x3 Average speed = Total distance = s distance travelled • • Total time t x2 • t4 x1 • If x1, x2, x3, x4 are the distances travelled in the time intervals t1, t2, t3 and t4, respectively, then Average speed = x1+x 2 +x3 +x4 t1 t2 t3 t1+t2+t3+t4 time taken Average speed is the average of initial and final speed if the particle is in motion such that its speed changes (either increases FIGURE 2.3 or decreases) at a constant rate. Uniform Speed A body is said to be moving with uniform speed if equal distances are covered in equal intervals of time. Example: A bike is moving on the road at 40 kmph speed that means for every one hour it is covering 40 km. Variable Speed A body has a variable speed if it does not cover equal distances in equal intervals of time. Example: A train while departing from railway station increases its speed gradually that means it is moving with variable speed. VELOCITY Velocity is the ratio of displacement to the time interval during which the displacement has occurred. Velocity (v) = Displacement = s Time t It is a vector quantity. The magnitude of velocity is expressed in cm s–1 in C.G.S. system and in m s–1 in S.I. system. The direction of velocity is along the direction of displacement.
2.6 Chapter 2 Uniform Velocity A body is said to have uniform velocity if it undergoes equal displacements in equal intervals of time. Since displacement is a vector, equal displacements implies the body is moving along a straight line path. Thus, a body moving with uniform velocity is in motion along a straight line path with a constant speed. Uniform motion and non-uniform motion In uniform motion, the distance moved by the particle in equal intervals of time is the same whether the duration of time is small or large. In non-uniform motion, the distance moved by the particle in equal intervals of time is not the same. Variable Velocity If a body undergoes unequal displacements in equal intervals of time, then the body is said to possess variable velocity. Velocity is said to be variable if there is a change either in its magnitude or in its direction or both. Instantaneous Velocity It is the velocity of the particle at a given instant. The direction of instantaneous velocity is along the tangent drawn to the curve describing the path at that instant if the body undergoes curvilinear motion. Instantaneous velocity, v = ∆s ∆t ∆s is the change in the displacement in a small interval of time ∆t. In Fig. 2.4, instantaneous velocity, v = ∆s = CB ∆t AC In the case of a body moving with variable velocity (non-uniform motion), the instantaneous velocity at any instant is given by the slope of the tangent drawn at a point in to the displacement time curve in Fig. 2.5. V = CB AC displacement∆s B displacementAC ∆ t time B A Uniform motion C F I G U R E 2 . 4 Uniform motion time N on-uniform motion F I GU R E 2 . 5 Non-uniform motion
Kinematics 2.7 Average Velocity It is the ratio of total displacement to the total time taken. Average velocity = Total displacement Total time Average velocity is a vector quantity. Example: A 16 m B 9m C 20 m D Consider a body moving along a straight line AD, travelling 16 m in the 1st second, 9 m in the next second and 20 m in the 3rd second. Total displacement = 45 m along AD Total time = 3 s Average velocity = 45 m =15 m s-1 along AD 3 s Note 1. Average velocity of a moving body may be equal to zero but average speed cannot be equal to zero. For example, the average velocity of an athlete completing one round while running along a circular track is zero, though his average speed is not zero. 2. A verage velocity = v+u in case the body is moving with uniform rate of change of velocity. 2 Here, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity ACCELERATION Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It is a vector quantity. The unit of acceleration is cm s–2 in C.G.S. system and m s–2 in S.I. system. By definition, acceleration, a = Change in velocity = v - u Time t The direction of acceleration is along the direction of change in velocity of the body. Example: A overtaking bus increases its velocity that means it is accelerating. Uniform Acceleration If the change in velocity of the body is equal in an equal intervals of time, then the body is said to move with uniform acceleration. Example: 10 A s –1 20 B s –1 30 C s –1 40 D s –1 m m m m
2.8 Chapter 2 Consider a body moving along a straight line passing through the points A, B, C, D, such that it covers the distances AB, BC and CD in equal intervals of time of one second. Let the velocity of the body at A, B, C and D be 10 m s−1, 20 m s−1, 30 m s−1 and 40 m s−1, respectively. Position Time ‘t’ Δt Velocity v Change in Rate of change (s) (s) (m s−1) velocity of velocity } }A 0 10 Δv (m s−1) Δv/Δt (m s−2) 1 } }B 1 20 10 10 1 } }C 2 10 10 30 10 10 1 D3 40 We find that during the motion of the body, the velocity is not constant, but the rate of change (increase) of the velocity is constant, i.e., the body is moving with uniform acceleration. y Plotting a graph of velocity (along y-axis) and time (along x-axis), we get a straight line as shown in Fig. 2.6. The slope of the graph is positive, Velocity, (m s –1) → 40 • and hence, the acceleration here is considered positive. 30 • 3 However, if the velocity of the body referred to in the above example at 20 • 10 • A, B, C and D is 40 m s−1, 30 m s−1, 20 m s−1 and 10 m s−1, respectively, the graph would once again be a straight line but sloping downwards. The 01 2 x slope of the line here is said to be negative, and hence, the acceleration in such cases where the velocity decreases as time progresses is referred to as Time, (s) negative acceleration or retardation or deceleration. FIGURE 2.6 Whenever the magnitude of velocity decreases, the rate of change of velocity is referred to as retardation or deceleration. It is not necessary that the rate of change of velocity, i.e., the acceleration is always constant. In situations where the rate of change of velocity of a body in motion is not constant, the body is said to be moving with non-uniform acceleration or variable acceleration. Equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion These equations give the relation between velocity, distance, time and uniform acceleration of a body moving along a straight line. Garaptical methods 1. To deduce, v = u + at Consider a body having initial velocity u and velocity after time t Velocity, (m s –1) seconds is v. v -u t slop = v–u Rate of change of velocity = t = v–u v -u t t u ⇒a i.e., a = t v = u + at Time, (s) ⇒ v = u + at
Kinematics 2.9 2. To derive, s = ut + 1 at2: 2 Average velocity = v + u (2.1) 2 (since acceleration is constant) But average velocity is the ratio of the total displacement to the total time. ∴ Average velocity = s (2.2) t Comparing (2.1) and (2.2) s = v + u t 2 s = (u + at ) + u (∴ v = u + at) t 2 s = 2u + at t 2 ∴ s= (2u + at ) t 2 s = ut + 1 at2 2 3. To derive, v2 = u2 + 2as Average velocity = s (2.3) t (2.4) Average velocity = v + u 2 From (2.3) and (2.4) s = v + u t 2 v + u v u s = 2 t but v = u + at; − = t a v u v - u s = + a 2 s = v2 - u2 2s ∴ v2 – u2 = 2as Or v2 = u2 + 2as
2.10 Chapter 2 4. To deduce the equation for the displacement of a body in the nth second: A CB • •• L et AB be the distance travelled by a body in n seconds, and AC be the distance travelled by a body in (n − 1) seconds. Thus, the distance travelled in the nth second is CB = Sn. Sn = AB − AC (2.5) From s = ut + 1 at2 (2.6) 2 (2.7) AB = un + 1 an2 2 1 AC = u (n − 1) + 2 a (n − 1)2 Substituting (2.6) and (2.7) in (2.5), we get Sn = un + 1 an2 − [u (n − 1) + a (n − 1)2] 2 Sn = un + 1 an2 − [un − u + 1 an2 − an + 1 a] 2 2 2 Sn = un + 1 an2 − un + u − 1 an2 + an − 1 a 2 2 2 Sn = u + an − 1 a 2 Sn = u + a n − 1 2 Or Sn = u + 1 a [2n − 1] 2 Problem Solving Tactics In deriving the equations, we have assumed that all the vector quantities are in the same direction. However, all vectors need not be in the same direction. Giving due consideration to this, ‘+’ and ‘–’ signs should be assigned to the quantities. Convention I: In this convention, the direction of displacement is taken as positive. Convention II: In this convention, a convenient cartesian co-ordinate system is taken with the origin at the initial position of the body, and ‘+’ and ‘−’ signs are accordingly assigned. EXAMPLE A car initially at rest moves with a constant acceleration along a straight road. After its speed increases to 40 km h–1, it moves with a constant speed and finally retards uniformly. The time intervals for the three parts of the journey are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 1. Find the average velocity
Kinematics 2.11 SOLUTION Maximum velocity = 40 km h–1 Let the time taken for the first part of the journey, i.e., during acceleration be t. From definition of average velocity we have, average velocity = s = v + u t 2 Here v is the final velocity = 40 km h–1, u is the initial velocity = 0 and s is the displacement = s1 (say) ∴ s1 = 40 + 0 t ∴ 2 s1 = 20 × 1t = 20t km (1) Since the time intervals are in the ratio of 1 : 3 : 1, if t is the time for the first part, the time taken for second and third parts are 3t and t, respectively. Thus, if s2 is the distance travelled with constant speed, s2 = v × t2 = 40 × 3t = 120t km (2) Similarly, if s3 is the distance travelled with uniform retardation in the last part of the journey, s3 = v + u t3 . 2 Here v = 0, u = 40 km h–1, t3 = 1 t ∴s3 = (0 + 40) t = 20 t . 2 Total distance travelled = s1 + s2 + s3 = s s = 20 t + 120 t + 20 t s = 160 t Average speed = Total distance Total time = 160 t = 32 km h−1 5t Since the car is moving along a straight line, therefore, average velocity = 32 km h–1 EXAMPLE A car moves with a constant velocity of 10 m s–1 for 10 s along a straight track, then it moves with uniform acceleration of 2 m s–2 for 5 seconds. Find the total displacement and velocity at the end of the 5th second of acceleration.
2.12 Chapter 2 SOLUTION Let v1 and t1 be the initial velocity and the time for the first part where the car is moving with a constant velocity. t1 = 10 s; v1 = 10 m s–1 ∴ Distance travelled s1 = v1 t1 i.e., s1 = 10 × 10 = 100 m For the second part, i.e., when the car accelerates, a = 2 m s–2, v = ? t = 5 seconds s2 = ? u = 10 m s–1 v = u + at v = 10 + 2 × 5 v = 10 + 10 v = 20 m s–1 s2 = ut + 1 at2 2 s2 = 10 × 5 + × 2 × 52 = 50 + 1 × 25 = 50 + 25 = 75 m Total displacement s = s1 + s2 ∴ s = 100 + 75 = 175 m. EXAMPLE A bike moving along a straight road covers 35 m in the 4th second and 40 m in the 5th second. What is its initial velocity and acceleration (if the acceleration is assumed to be uniform)? SOLUTION Let s4 and s5 be the distances travelled in the 4th second and the 5th second, respectively. s4 = 35 m, s5 = 40 m From the equations of motion, the distance travelled by a body in the nth second is given by, sn = u + a n − 1 2 ∴ 35 = u + a 4 − 1 2 40 = u + a 5 − 1 2
Kinematics 2.13 i.e., 35 = u + 7 a 2 40 = u + 9 a 2 70 = 2u + 7a (1) (2) 80 = 2u + 9a Solving equations (1) and (2), we get a = 10 = 5m s−2 ; u = 35 = 17.5 m s–1 2 2 Acceleration Due to Gravity Objects thrown vertically upwards move up to a certain distance and then fall back to the ground. This is due to earth’s gravitational force. Due to gravitational force, all objects are accelerated towards the Earth. This uniform acceleration towards the Earth, irrespective of the mass is known as acceleration due to gravity and is denoted by ‘g’. Equations of Motion of Objects under the Influence of Gravity (Neglecting air Resistance) Here, since acceleration of a body moving vertically, either upward or downward, is due to gravity, ‘a’ is substituted by ‘g’ and the displacement ‘s’ is substituted by ‘h’. Thus, we have v = u + gt s = ut + 1 gt2 2 v2 = u2 + 2gh Where, v is the final velocity, u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and t is time taken. ‘g’ is chosen to be positive if the body is moving towards the Earth, i.e., downward and g is negative if the body is moving in upwards direction. NOTE It is purely a matter of choice and convenience that we choose a particular direction as positive. In the above case, for example, the final result will remain the same even if we choose the upward direction as positive and downward as negative or vice-versa. Equations of Motion of a Body Dropped from a Certain Height A freely falling body is one which moves only under the influence of gravity (i.e., no other force acts on it) like air fraction.
2.14 Chapter 2 Let us consider the special case of a freely falling body which is dropped or released from rest for which the initial velocity, u = 0, and acceleration, a = +g. Taking u = 0, s = h and a = + g, we can write the equations of motion for a freely falling body, as 1. v = u + at u = 0 v = gt h g↓ 2. s = ut + 1 at2 2 1 h = 2 gt2 3. v2 – u2 = 2as v2 = 2gh FIGURE 2.7 From h = 1 g t2; 2 t = 2h , where ‘t’ is the time of descent. g Equations of Motion for a Body Projected Vertically Upwards Consider a body projected vertically upwards with an initial velocity, u. As the body moves up, its velocity decreases, since the Earth pulls the body downwards with an acceleration of ‘g’. The body moves until its velocity becomes zero (at maximum height). Such bodies are called vertically projected bodies. As the direction of motion is against the direction of Maximum height (h max) ; v = 0 acceleration due to gravity (g), the sign of ‘g’ is taken to be negative. Taking s = h and a = –g, we can write the equations of motion for such a body as follows: h 1. v = u + at g↓ v = u – gt ↑u 2. s = ut + 1 at2 FIGURE 2.8 2 1 h = ut – 2 gt2 3. v2 – u2 = 2as v2 – u2 = – 2gh v at maximum height = 0; a = -g; s = h ∴ hmax = u2 (from v2 = u2 − 2gh) 2g For a body projected vertically upward, the time of ascent (ta) is the time taken by it to reach the maximum height. ta = u (from v = u − gt) g
Kinematics 2.15 Time of Descent As derived earlier, for a body dropped from a height ‘h’, the time of descent is given by, td = 2h g A vertically projected body after reaching its maximum height (hmax) starts falling and behaves as a body dropped from maximum height. The time that it takes to reach the ground from the maximum height, can be given by, td = 2hmax , td = 2u2 / 2 g = u g g g ∴ td = u g This proves that the time of ascent is equal to the time of descent for bodies projected vertically up, and the body returns to the same level from where it is projected. Time of Flight (tf) It is the total time during which a body moving under gravity remains in air above the plane of projection. u u 2u tf = ta + td = g + g = g 2u i.e., t r = g EXAMPLE A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 m s–1. Find the time of flight, neglecting the air resistance (g = 10 m s–2) SOLUTION When the body comes back to the initial position, the displacement s = 0. From s = ut − 1 gt2 2 0 = ut − 1 gt2 2 u2 ut = 2g t = 2u . Here ‘t’ is the time of flight, i.e., ta + td. g ∴ Time of flight, t = 2 × 20 =4s 10 Velocity on Reaching the Ground When a body is dropped from a height ‘h’, its initial velocity is zero and it attains a velocity ‘v’ on reaching the ground.
2.16 Chapter 2 As v2 – u2 = 2gh and u = 0, v = 2 gh (2.8) We also know that for a body thrown upwards with an initial velocity u; u = 2 ghmax (2.9) Comparing equations (2.8) and (2.9), we can say that the velocity of the body falling from a certain height h, on reaching the ground is equal to the velocity with which it has to be projected vertically upwards to reach the same height h. This shows that, the upward speed at any point in the flight of a body is same as its downward speed at that point. But note that directions of their velocities are opposite, and hence, the velocities are different though their speeds are the same. EXAMPLE A body falls from a height of 45 m from the ground. Find the time taken by the body to reach the ground. (Take g = 10 m s–2) SOLUTION Given, the initial velocity of the body u = 0 and g = 10 m s–2 Distance travelled by the body, s = 45 m Using the equation, s = ut + 1 , gt2 we get 2 45 = 0 + 1 × 10 t2 2 ∴ t2 = 90 = 9 ⇒t = 3 s 10 PROJECTILE When a body moves under the influence of gravity, it moves along a vertical straight line, only if there is no horizontal component for the initial velocity (neglecting wind velocity and air resistance) Examples: 1. A mango falling from a tree. 2. A ball projected vertically downwards. FIGURE 2.9
Kinematics 2.17 If the initial velocity has both horizontal and vertical components, the path of the body will not be a straight line, but will be a parabola, called trajectory. Examples: 1. A ball kicked horizontally from the top of a building. 2. A missile fired from a cannon. FIGURE 2.10 A billiard ball struck on a billiard table would move horizontally along the surface of the table. Here, changes in the position and the velocity and the corresponding acceleration (deceleration) would be only in the horizontal direction, i.e., either forward (+ve) or in the reverse direction (–ve). The influence of gravity on the motion of the ball is absent. However, when we consider the motion of shot-put or a long jumper, they move under the inf luence of gravity. Such objects which are given horizontal velocity and are allowed to travel under influence of gravity are called projectiles. Any projectile has two dimensional motion, i.e., combination of motion in two different directions. They are as follows: 1. U niform velocity along the horizontal direction, since no force acts on the projectile along the horizontal. Thus, the acceleration is zero along the horizontal direction. 2. Uniform accelerated motion along the vertical since it is acted upon by gravity. The motion of the projectile can be represented graphically by plotting horizontal displacement along X-axis and vertical displacement along the Y-axis. The motion of projectile is considered Similarly the path of a ball hit high by in the absence of air resistance. a batsman would be as shown below. y y Uniform horizontal motion Vertical Displacement ••• •• • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • Combined motion • • Free fall • • • θ under gravity • O• • •••• x O• • • • • • • • • • x Horizontal Displacement FIGURE 2.11 FIGURE 2.12
2.18 Chapter 2 y Example: Consider a shot-put given an initial velocity making an angle θ with the horizontal. Plot the displacement along the X-axis (horizontal u and the Y-axis (vertical) on graph for every 1 second. θ oR The graph obtained is as shown in Fig. 2.13. This curve is called A parabola. Hence, the trajectory of a projectile is a parabola. x FIGURE 2.13 RANGE (R) It is the maximum distance covered by a projectile along the horizontal. 1. Range is OA as shown in the Fig. 2.13. 2. Range depends on the angle of projection (θ). 3. Time taken by the projectile to reach the highest point from the point of projection = time taken by the projectile to reach the ground from the highest point. The four equations of motion discussed earlier, namely, v = u + at, s = ut + 1 at2, v2 = u2 + 2as and Sn are applicable to bodies that move along a straight 2 n 1 = u + a − 2 path with uniform acceleration. u sin θy However, in the case of projectiles, their motion is not along a straight line path. Thus, the four equations of motion mentioned cannot be directly u applied to projectiles. To know the position of a projectile after certain interval θ of time, we need to know its horizontal and vertical displacements from the u cos θ point of projection in the given time, that is, we need to know the velocity and acceleration of the projectile in both the horizontal and the vertical directions. x Thus, it is necessary to resolve or split the vector (initial velocity of projection of the projectile) into horizontal and vertical directions and take the corresponding component of the velocity. If θ is the angle of projection of a projectile with velocity ‘u’, the horizontal component of velocity is ‘u cosθ’ and the vertical component of velocity is ‘u sinθ’. There exists no change in the horizontal component of velocity of the projectile as gravitational pull does not affect its horizontal motion. Thus, the horizontal component remains ‘u cosθ’ throughout the motion of the projectile. However, the vertical component of velocity, i.e., ‘u sinθ’ changes as the projectile is under gravitational pull in the vertical direction. Thus, the vertical component of velocity decreases in the upward direction, till it becomes zero at the hightest point and then the projectile falls down under gravity. The motion of the projectile is a result of both the vertical and horizontal components and it follows a parabolic path. The equations of motion can be applied independently for acquiring the horizontal and the vertical displacements or velocity of the projectile. For example, the horizontal and the vertical displacement can be obtained by using equation s = ut + 1 at2 in both the directions. 2
Kinematics 2.19 If ‘x’ and ‘y’ are the horizontal and vertical displacements, respectively, at the end of ‘t’ seconds, they are given by, x = (u cosθ)t and y = (u sinθ)t − 1 gt2. 2 UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION In the previous topics, we studied about the change in the magnitude of velocity when a → body undergoes rectilinear motion. Now we will consider the situation where a body can be accelerated without changing the magnitude of velocity. V C Consider a person seated in a merry-go-round which is in motion. The → person undergoes circular motion as shown. Examine the direction of motion of the person at every point. V D We observe that any body moving along a circular path changes its direction B → continuously, even though the speed is constant. Thus, the body is continuously → E accelerated. This acceleration acts towards the centre of the circular path and is V V called centripetal acceleration. A If a body moves along a circular path with constant speed such that its → acceleration is uniform, then the body is said to be in uniform circular motion. V FIGURE 2.14 GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE The motion of a particle (or body) can be analysed by plotting different types of graphs. These graphs are useful to study the rectilinear motion of a body. There are three types of graphs in kinematics, namely, displacement−time graph, velocity−time graph and acceleration− time graph. In plotting these graphs, time is taken along the X-axis as an independent quantity. The dependent quantity, i.e., quantity that changes with time, namely, displacement, velocity or acceleration is taken along the Y-axis. Displacement—Time Graphs Y t→ X 1. The s − t graph is along the X-axis. The displacement is zero for any amount of time. ↑ Thus, this type of graph indicates that the body is at rest, with no displacement. s Example: A bus stopped at bus stop. O FIGURE 2.15 2. T he s − t graph is parallel to X-axis. The displacement is constant and does not Y t→ X change with respect to time. Thus, the body has some initial displacement and is at rest. ↑ Example: A bus stopped at bus stop 2 metres away from the railway station. s O FIGURE 2.16
2.20 Chapter 2 Y 3. T he s − t graph is a straight passing through origin and making an angle with X the X-axis. The body has equal displacements in equal intervals of time. ↑ Thus, the body is moving with uniform velocity. The initial displacement of the body is zero. s Example: A person riding a bike at the speed of 50 kmph on a straight road O t→ from rest. FIGURE 2.17 Y 4. The s − t graph is a straight line making a positive angle with the horizontal and has a positive intercept on the Y-axis. Thus, the body has uniform ↑ velocity with some initial displacement. s Example: A bus start 2 m away from TIME’s building and moving at a speed X of 60 kmph. O t→ FIGURE 2.18 Y Q 5. The s − t graph of two bodies P and Q are shown in Fig. 2.19 by lines OP and ↑ P OQ, respectively. Since they are straight lines making positive angle with X-axis and passing through the origin, their initial displacement is zero and sB A they have uniform velocity. But from the Fig. 2.19, it is clear that the OC X displacement of Q is more than that of P in a given time. Thus, the velocity of Q is more than that of P. The magnitude of uniform velocity can be t→ obtained by measuring the slantness (slope) of the lines from the horizontal. FIGURE 2.19 Displacement of P and Q are given by, OA and OB, respectively. Thus, magnitude of the velocity of P is given by, vp = OA/OC. This is the slope of OP. Similarly, magnitude of the velocity of Q is given by, vQ = OB/OC. This is the slope of OQ. As OB > OA, vQ > vP, the time considered (OC) being constant. Y 6. In Fig. 2.20, the s − t graphs of two bodies R and T are shown by thick and T thin lines, respectively. It is clear from the Fig. 2.20 that the bodies are moving ↑ R with uniform velocity. Even though the initial displacement of T is less than s that of R, (As the length of intercept on Y−axis for T is less than that of R), O t→ X the slope of T is greater than that of R. Thus, the magnitude of uniform velocity of T is greater than that of R. FIGURE 2.20 7. The s − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.21. It is not a straight line, but Y is a curve. It is obvious from the Fig. 2.21 that the displacement of the body is not equal in equal intervals of time. Thus, the body has variable velocity. F E From the Fig. 2.21, it is clear that OA < AB < BC < CD < DE < EF, which ↑ CD are the successive displacements of the body in successive intervals of time. B s X Thus, the displacement per unit time, i.e., velocity of the body increases with time. Hence, the body is moving with acceleration. A O 12 3 4 56 Example: A train while departing from the station. t→ FIGURE 2.21
Kinematics 2.21 The velocity of the body at any instant of time can be obtained by drawing Y a line that touches the curve at the given point (also called tangent) and measuring the slope of the tangent as shown in the Fig. 2.22. ↑ Example: Speed of a train at 8:00 a.m. is 40 kmph and at 3:30 a.m. is 60 sA kmph. s1 P The displacement of the body at an instant of time t1 is s1. Point P on the C BX graph indicates this position. If the velocity of the body at the instant t1, is to O t1 be calculated, a tangent AC is drawn at the point P, and the slope of the t→ FIGURE 2.22 tangent AC that gives the instantaneous velocity can be calculated by using the expression. AB where BC gives the time interval considered and AB BC gives the displacement of the body in the time interval. 8. The s − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.23. The graph is a curve. Y v2 This indicates that the velocity of the body is not uniform. The tangents v1 Q at the points P and Q on the curve give the velocity of the body v1 and v2 at the instants t1 and t2, respectively. It is clear from the Fig. 2.23 that ↑P t2 X the slope of the tangent at P is greater than the slope of the tangent at Q. Thus, v2 < v1. This implies that the velocity of the body is decreasing s with time, i.e., the body moves with retardation in the positive direction (direction of displacement) as the displacement of the body increases O t1 with time. t→ Example: A train arrived to the railway station. FIGURE 2.23 9. T he s − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.24. The graph is a straight Y line making an obtuse angle with the positive X-axis. The body has some initial displacement and this displacement decreases with time. The ↑ decrease in displacement is equal in equal intervals of time. Thus, the body moves in opposite direction to the direction of displacement with s 180° > θ > 90° uniform velocity. X E xample: A bus which is already travelled certain distance on a straight O t→ road returning back with the same constant speed. FIGURE 2.24 10. The s − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.25. It is a curve, and thus, the Y velocity of the body is non-uniform. The velocity of the body at two different P v1 instants of time t1 and t2 is given by the slope of the tangents at the points P and Q as v1 and v2, respectively, as shown in the Fig. 2.25. It is obvious ↑ v2 Q from the figure that the slope at Q is more than that at P indicating that s v2 > v1. Also, as time increases, displacement of the body decreases as evident from the Fig. 2.25. Thus, the body is moving in opposite direction to the O t1 t2 X direction of displacement with acceleration. t→ FIGURE 2.25
2.22 Chapter 2 Y 11. The s − t graph of a body as shown in the Fig. 2.26 is a curve. The body has initial displacement and as time increases, the displacement decreases. Thus, A v1 the body is moving in opposite direction to the direction of displacement ↑ with non-uniform velocity. The velocity of the body at two instants of time s B v2 ‘t1’ and ‘t2’ is given by the slopes of the tangents drawn to the curve at points A and B as v1 and v2, respectively. It is obvious from the Fig. 2.26 that the O t1 t→ t2 X slope of the tangent at A is greater than the slope of the tangent at B. Thus, v1 > v2. This implies that the body is moving with retardation in the opposite FIGURE 2.26 direction to the direction of displacement. Uses of Displacement–time Graph 1.

T he nature of curve describes the type of motion it was. Y Velocity—Time Graph ↑ Similar to the displacement−time graph, the velocity−time graphs can be any one or the combination of more than one of the following types. v 1. The graph is a straight line along the X-axis. This implies the body is at rest. O t→ X FIGURE 2.27 Y 2. The graph is a straight line parallel to the X-axis. This implies that the velocity does ↑ not change with respect to time. Thus, the graph indicates the uniform velocity. v O t→ X FIGURE 2.28 Y 3. T he graph is a straight line making an acute angle with the positive X-axis and passing through the origin. Thus, the initial velocity of the body is zero and has equal ↑ increase in velocity in equal intervals of time. Thus, the body moves with uniform v acceleration. The magnitude of the acceleration is given by the slope of the line O t→ X (Note: slope of s−t graph gives the velocity). FIGURE 2.29
Kinematics 2.23 4. T he v − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.30. The graph is a straight line Y X making an acute angle with the positive X-axis and having an intercept on the ↑ positive Y-axis. Thus, the body has some initial velocity u and moves with uniform v acceleration. O t→ FIGURE 2.30 5. The v − t graphs of two bodies P and Q are as shown in Fig. 2.31. The graphs Y P are straight lines making acute angle with the positive X-axis and having intercepts Q on the positive Y-axis. Thus, both the bodies have initial velocities and move ↑ with uniform acceleration. The Y-intercept of P is less than that of Q. This indicates that the initial velocity of P is less than that of Q. But the slope of P is v greater than that of Q. This indicates that the magnitude of uniform acceleration of P is greater than that of Q. O t→ X FIGURE 2.31 6. The v − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.32. As the curve begins at the Y D origin, the initial velocity of the body is zero and moves with non-uniform or a2 ↑ variable velocity. The acceleration of the body at instants t1 and t2 is given by C the slopes of the tangents drawn to the curve at the points C and D as a1 and a2, v respectively. From the Fig. 2.32, it is obvious that a2 > a1. Thus, the body O a1 X moves with increasing acceleration. t1 t2 t→ FIGURE 2.32 7. The v − t graph of a body is as shown in the Fig. 2.33. The graph is a curve Y F which implies that the body is moving with variable velocity. The acceleration a2 ↑ of the body at instants t1 and t2 is given by the slopes of the tangents drawn to E the curve at points E and F as a1 and a2, respectively. From the Fig. 2.33, it is v a1 obvious that a1 > a2. Thus, the body moves with decreasing acceleration. But O it is not retardation as the velocity of the body is not decreasing with time. As t1 t2 X the curve begins at the origin, the initial velocity of the body is zero. t→ FIGURE 2.33 8. T he v − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.34. It is a straight line making Y 180° > θ > 90° an obtuse angle with the positive X-axis. There is some initial u velocity of X ↑ the body and has an equal decrease in velocity in equal intervals of time. t→ v Thus, the body moves with uniform retardation, the magnitude of which is O given by the slope of the line. FIGURE 2.34
2.24 Chapter 2 Y 9. The v − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.35. The graph is not a straight line and is a curve with the velocity of the body decreasing with time. This G H indicates that the body moves with non-uniform retardation. The slopes of ↑ the tangents drawn to the curve at the points G and H gives the retardation v of the body at the instants t1 and t2, respectively. As the slope at G is greater O t1 t → t2 X than the slope at H, the body moves with decreasing retardation. FIGURE 2.35 10. T he v − t graph of a body is as shown in Fig. 2.36. It is a curve indicating Y decrease in velocity with time. Thus, the body has variable retardation. The retardation of the body at t1 and t2 instants of time are given by the slopes of I the tangents drawn to the curve at points I and J, respectively. It is obvious ↑J from the Fig. 2.36 that retardation increases with time. Thus, the body moves with increase in retardation having some initial velocity u and the final v velocity being zero. O t1 t 2 X t → FIGURE 2.36 Uses 1. Nature of motion can be determined. 2. Velocity at any instant can be found out. 3. Area under the curve gives the displacement of the body. 4.

Hence, the direc- tion of displacement and velocity are one and the 5 9. Fx = F cos q = 15 × cos q = 15 cos q same. Thus, it is not possible for a body undergoing 60.
