Motion in a Straight Line

IMPORTANT

Physics Solutions from Chapter -1 - Motion in a Straight Line

This chapter describes the motion of an object in a straight line. It explains the terms such as position, path length and displacement of an object. We also learn about speed, velocity and acceleration, kinematic equations and relative velocity.

Physics>Mechanics>Motion in a Straight Line>Frames of Reference, Position, Path Length and Displacement

This topic highlights the definition of reference point, path length and displacement. We will learn how to determine the position of a body in space. It also covers the difference between path length and displacement via examples.

This topic discusses the concepts of average velocity and speed. It also covers the derivation of mathematical formula for average speed and velocity.

This topic emphasizes acceleration. We will be taught different cases of acceleration along with their graphical representations in this topic. We will know the significance of the area under velocity time graph here at last.

Physics>Mechanics>Motion in a Straight Line>Kinematic Equations for Uniformly Accelerated Motion

In this topic, we will learn simple equations that relate time taken, velocity, acceleration, speed and final velocity. We will also learn how to represent them graphically.

Physics>Mechanics>Motion in a Straight Line>Relative Velocity in One Dimension

Through this topic, we will understand the concept of relative velocity in detail. It derives the relative velocity of two bodies moving in the same or different directions. We will also study the concept with the aid of figures.
