Introduction
• Dynamics includes:
Kinematics: study of the geometry of motion.
Relates displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time without reference
to the cause of motion.
Fdownforce
Fdrive Fdrag
Kinetics: study of the relations existing between the forces acting on

a body, the mass of the body, and the motion of the body. Kinetics is
used to predict the motion caused by given forces or to determine the
forces required to produce a given motion.
Edition

Introduction
• Particle kinetics includes:
• Rectilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of a

particle as it moves along a straight line.
• Curvilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of a

particle as it moves along a curved line in two or three
dimensions.
Edition
Eleventh
Rectilinear Motion: Position, Velocity & Acceleration
• Rectilinear motion: particle moving
along a straight line
• Position coordinate: defined by
positive or negative distance from a
fixed origin on the line.
• The motion of a particle is known if

the position coordinate for particle is
known for every value of time t.
• May be expressed in the form of a
function, e.g., 2 3
x = 6t − t
or in the form of a graph x vs. t.
Edition

• Consider particle which occupies position P
at time t and P’ at t+Dt,
Dx
Average velocity =

Instantaneous velocity = v = lim

• Instantaneous velocity may be positive or

negative. Magnitude of velocity is referred
to as particle speed.

e.g., x = 6t 2 − t 3

• Consider particle with velocity v at time t and
v’ at t+Dt,
Dv
Instantaneous acceleration = a = lim
Dt →0 Dt
• Instantaneous acceleration may be:

- positive: increasing positive velocity
or decreasing negative velocity
- negative: decreasing positive velocity
or increasing negative velocity.

Concept Quiz
What is true about the kinematics of a particle?
a) The velocity of a particle is always positive

b) The velocity of a particle is equal to the slope of
the position-time graph
c) If the position of a particle is zero, then the
velocity must zero
d) If the velocity of a particle is zero, then its
acceleration must be zero

• What are x, v, and a at t = 2 s ?

- at t = 2 s, x = 16 m, v = vmax = 12 m/s, a = 0
• Note that vmax occurs when a=0, and that the

slope of the velocity curve is zero at this point.
• What are x, v, and a at t = 4 s ?
- at t = 4 s, x = xmax = 32 m, v = 0, a = -12 m/s2

Edition
Eleventh
Determining the Motion of a Particle
• We often determine accelerations from the forces applied

(kinetics will be covered later)
• Generally have three classes of motion
- acceleration given as a function of time, a = f(t)
- acceleration given as a function of position, a = f(x)
- acceleration given as a function of velocity, a = f(v)
• Can you think of a physical example of when force is a

function of position? When force is a function of velocity?

Concept Question
When will the bowling ball start slowing down?
A bowling ball is dropped from a boat so that it

strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 15 ft/s.

acceleration of a =10 - 0.01v2 when in the water,
determine the velocity of the ball when it strikes the

Edition

REFLECT and THINK:
Because there is no air resistance, you can
treat the vertical and horizontal motions
separately and can immediately write
down the algebraic equations of motion.
If you did want to include air resistance,
you must know the acceleration as a
function of speed (you will see how to
derive this in Chapter 12), and then you
need to use the basic kinematic
relationships, separate variables, and
integrate.

You should consider polar coordinates for any
kind of rotational motion. They turn this problem
into a straightforward solution, whereas any other
coordinate system would make this problem much
more difficult. One way to make this problem harder
would be to ask you to find the radius of curvature in
addition to the velocity and acceleration. To do this,
you would have to find the normal component of the
