This tour is given to give the feel of the whole chapters plus the type of questions and ways to tackle tehm.This is quite beneficial for anybody studing One dimensional Motion.
Description:One dimensional Motion is the study of the motion along an straight line.Complete Study material has been provided at the below link
Study MaterialMost Important Points to remember about One dimension Motion1. Distance and displacement are not the same thing.Distance is scalar while displacement is a vector quantity.Distance is never zero in a round trip while the displacement will be zero.Example When a person moves in a cirle and return to it normal position,it displacement is zero while the distance tarvelled is the circumference of the circle
2. Speed is calculated over distance while velocity over displacment.So Average speed in a round trip will never be zero while average velocity will be zero
3. Magnitude of Instantanous velocity is equal to instantanous speed
4. When a particle moves with constant velocity, its average velocity, its instantaneous velocity and its speed are all equal
5. Acceleration is defined as change in velocity per unit time.A body moving with constant speed but with varying direction will have accleration as the velocity is changing.
Most Effective way to solve a one dimensional motion problem1. First visualize the question
2. Take starting point as origin as and take one direction as positive and other as negative.This is required as we will be dealing with Vector quantities
3. Write down what is given in the question and what is required
4. If it is uniform motion ,then you can utilize the One dimensional motion equation.It the motion is varying and relation is given for that motion.Then we can utilize one dimensional motion derivative equation to find out the solutions
5. Calculate as require
Formula's arev=u+at
s=ut+(1/2)at
2v
2=u
2+2as
x=∫vdt
v=∫adt
v=(dx/dt)
a=dv/dt=(d
2x/dt
2)
a=vdv/dx
Example -1A bus start at Station A from rest with uniform acceleration 2m/sec
2.Bus moves along a straight line
1.Find the distance moved by the bus in 10 sec?
2.At what time,it velocity becomes 20m/sec?
3 How much time it will take to cover a distance of 1.6km
Solution:Now first step to attempt such question is to visualize the whole process.Here the bus is moving along a straight line and with uniform acceleration
Now what we have
Intial velocity=0
Acceleration=2m/sec
2Now since it is uniform motion we can use given motion formula's in use
v=u+at
s=ut+(1/2)at
2v
2=u
2+2as
1. distance (s)=?
time(t)=10 sec
So here the most suitable equation is
s=ut+(1/2)at
2Substituting given values
s=(0)10 +(1/2)2(10)
2=100 m
2. velocity(v)=20 m/s
time(t)=?
So here the most suitable equation is
v=u+at
20=0+2t
or t=10 sec
3.distance(s)=1.6km=1600m
t=?
So here the most suitable equation is
s=ut+(1/2)at
21600=(1/2)(2)t
2or t=40 sec
Example -2A object is moving along an straight line.The motion of that object is described by
x=at+bt
2+ct
3where a,b,c are constants and x is in meters and t is in sec.
1. Find the displacement at t=1 sec
2. Find the velocity at t=0 and t=1 sec
3. Find the acceleration at t=0 and t=1 sec
Solution:Now first step to attempt such question is to visualize the whole process.Here the object is moving along a straight line and its motion is described by the given equation
Now we
x=at+bt
2+ct
3Now since its motion is described by the given equation,following formula will be useful in determining the values
x=∫vdt
v=∫adt
v=(dx/dt)
a=dv/dt=(d
2x/dt
2)
a=vdv/dx
1. x=? t=1sec
Here by substituting t=1 in given equation we get the answer
x=a(1)+b(1)
2+c(1)
3x=a+b+c m
2.v=? t=0,v=? t=1
Here we are having the displacement equation,so first we need to find out the velocity equation
So here the most suitable formula is
v=(dx/dt)
or v=d(at+bt
2+ct
3)/dt
or v=a+2bt+3ct
2Substituing t=0 we get
v=a m/s
Substituing t=1 we get
v=a+2b+3c m/s
3 a=? t=0,a=? t=1
Now we are having the velocity equation,we need to first find the acceleration equation.
So here the most suitable formula is
a=(dv/dt)
or a=d(a+2bt+3ct
2)/dt
a=2b+6ct
Substituing t=0 we get
a=2b m/s
2Substituing t=1 we get
a=2b+6c m/s
