AP Physics C

- It is the study of how things move that is how far things and
how fast they move and how long they take during their
motion .

The differences between distance and displacement

Distance (d) Displacement (S)

- It is the sum of actual path - It is the shortest straight


covered by a moving body distance between the
starting point and the end
- It is a scalar quantity
point
- Measured in meter
- It is vector quantity

- Measured in meter

Speed (V) Velocity (V)


- It is the distance moved - It is the displacement of
by the object per unit time object per unit time

- It is scalar quantity - It is vector quantity

- m/s or km / hr - m/s or km / hr

- Average speed = T.d / T.t - Average velocity = X / t

v = ds / dt or v=ẋ
X = ∫ v . dt

Acceleration : " The rate of change of velocity. "


a = Δ v / Δ t = v2 – v1 / Δt [ m / s2 ]
a = dv / dt = d2x / dt2
a=ṿ=Ẍ
v = ∫ a . dt

kinematic equations for motion with


uniform acceleration

average velocity Ṽ =( vi + vf / 2)

Δx = Ṽ x t

Vf = Vi + at ( Velocity – Time )

Δx = Vi t +1/2 at2 ( Distance – Time )

V2f = V2i + 2aΔx (Velocity – Distance)

Free fall
" It is the falling of object under the effect of gravity "

- In this case the objects fall by acceleration due to gravity


(g)= 9.8 m/s2  10 m/s2

Vf = Vi + gt ( Velocity – Time )

Δx = Vi t +1/2 gt2 ( Distance – Time )

V2f = V2i + 2gΔx (Velocity – Distance)

AP Physics C

Δ x >> displacement for horizontal motion

Δ y >> displacement for vertical motion


d sin(x) / dx = cos(x)
d cos (x) / dx = - sin(X)

dc /dx =0

dXn / dx = n Xn-1

∫ dx = x + c

∫ xn dx = x n+1 / n+1 + c

∫ cos x dx = sin x + c

∫sin x dx = - cos x + c
