Page 3: Projectile Motion and Applications

The final page focuses on practical applications of kinematics through projectile motion and vector components explanation, particularly in analyzing objects on inclined planes and projectile trajectories.

Definition: Projectile motion is two-dimensional movement without air resistance, where gravity only affects vertical motion.

Highlight: The horizontal component of velocity remains constant during projectile motion, while the vertical component is affected by gravity.

Example: An object sliding down an incline experiences acceleration components both parallel and perpendicular to the surface.

The page concludes with detailed equations for calculating maximum height, range, and trajectory shapes for projectile motion problems.

Page 1: Basic Kinematics Concepts

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of kinematics, focusing on one-dimensional motion and basic motion analysis tools. The content establishes the groundwork for understanding kinematic equations and motion maps.

Definition: Vectors are quantities with both magnitude and direction, while scalars only have magnitude.

Vocabulary: Displacement refers to the change in position (vector), while distance represents the actual path length (scalar).

Example: A 40cm path can have a different displacement depending on the final position relative to the starting point.

Highlight: Motion can be analyzed through three key graphs: position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time, each providing unique insights into object movement.

The page concludes with motion maps, which visually represent an object's movement using arrows to indicate magnitude and direction of motion.
