Chapter 3 – kinematics
Static: The branch of mechanics which deals with body at rest is called static.
Kinematics
The branch of mechanics which deals with the study of the motion of object without taking into the account of the cause of the motion in objects.
Dynamics
The branch of mechanics which deals with the study of motion of the objects with taking into the account of the cause of the motion in the objects.
Displacement and Distance
The shortest distance between two point is called displacement.
The length of actual path travelled by body between two point is called distance.
Q. Can a body have zero displacement but non-zero distance travelled?
Ans: Yes, it can be a body returns to same position after motion, then displacement is zero but distance travelled is non-zero.
Speed and Velocity
The rate of change of displacement of a body is called velocity.It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is m/s.
Velocity = displacement / time taken
The rate of distance travelled by a body is called speed.It is scalar quantity and it’s SI unit is m/s.
Speed = distance/time taken
Average speed and instantaneous speed
Average Speed: It is defined as the ratio of total distance travelled to the total time taken.
Average speed = Total distance travelled / total time taken
Instantaneous Speed: The speed of a body at a particular instant of time on it‘s path.
Average velocity and instantaneous Velocity
Average velocity: It is defined as the ratio of total displacement to the total time taken.
Average speed = Total displacement / total time taken
Instantaneous velocity: The velocity of a body at a particular instant of time on it‘s path.
Acceleration and Retardation
The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. It is vector quantity and it’s SI unit is ms-2
a = change in velocity / time
The rate of decrease of velocity is called retardation or negative acceleration.

let A be the top of tower and B it’s foot Also let C be the point where the both object meet .
Now, for the dropped object,
distance travelled
for the object thrown vertically upward, distance travel,
Hemce, they meet 20m below from the top of tower after 2 sec.
Q.1[B] A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 300m height after 1 sec another ball is dropped with 20m/s from the top of the tower. When and where they meet?
Let A be the top of the tower and B be the foot. Also let C be the point where the both object meet.

1Q.[D] A balls falls freely from top of thhe tower and during the last second of it’s fall. It falls through 25m. Find the height of tower?
solution,
In last second it falls through =25m
inital velocity(u)= 0m/s
Now, Distance travelled in
hence the height of the tower is 45m
Q.1[E] if the displacement of body is proportional to the square of time. State the nature of the motion of thhe body?
By question;
then,
Hence, the body moves with constant accleration.
Projectile Motion:
Any body thrown toward space so that it moves only under the action of gravity is called projectile motion. for eg: 1. stone thrown horizonatally 2. A bomb drop from aeroplane
- Ux = U cosθ along horizantal and
- Uy = U sinθ along vertical.
Let us consider a projectile thrown at certain angle with horizantal. Let us consider a projectile thrown towards sky from ground with intial velocity ‘v’ making angle ‘θ’ wih ground. Now it velocity can be resuded into two components. ucosθ along horizantal and usinθ along vertical. since accleration due to gravity act in vertical direction only so, horizantal velocity remains constant but vertical velocity is variable . Since p(x,y) be any point at which projectile takes time’t’ to reach ground.
Motion along horizantal,
Motion along vertical,
using eq i and ii
Hence, the path of projectlie is parabolic
Time of flight (T): The time for which projectile remains in space is called time of flight.
since, the projectile returns to ground after time T.
Now,
Maximum height (Hmax): It is the greatest height to which a projectile rise above the point of the projection.
At maximum height the vertical velocity of the projectile become zero i.e. Vy = 0 so,
This is expression for maximum height.
Horizantal Range (R): The horizantal distance covred by the projectile during its time of flight is called horizantal range.
Since these is no accleration due to gravity in horizantal range or direction.
so,
R = Horizanal velocity X time of flight
this is a expression for horizantal range.
Maximum Horizantal range (Rmax):
Thus, the horizantal range will be maximum if the projectile is fired at angle of with horizantal.
Two angle of projectile for the same horizamtal range:
We know that for the angle of projection the horizantal range is given by:
Let be the horizantal range when the angle of projection is then,
Thus, we can see that for two angle of projection that is and the horizantal range are same.
Velocity of any instant:
Horizantal velocity at any instant,
vertical velocity at any instant,

There are two angle of projection for the horizantal range.
When the angle of projection is ()
then,
Now,
When angle of projection is
then,
Hence, another angle of projection is for the same of horizantal range.
Q.2[B] What to be the effect on Rmax in doubling the intial velocity of a projectile?
We have,
If ‘u’ or intial velocity is double u’=2u
or,
so, when doubling the inital velocity then Rmax is increase by 4 times with inital velocity .
Q.2[C] Find the angle of projection at which the horizantal range and Hmax of projection are equal?
solution,
Given
R = Hmax
Hence, If R and Hmax is equal then angle of projection on is
Q.2[D] A batter hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat with an inital speed 37m/s at angle of 53°. Find the position OF ball and direction of its velocity after 2sec.Treat the base ball as projectile?
solution,
inital velocity(u)=37m/s
angle of projection ()=
time(t)=2sec
now,
we have
x= Ux.t = Ucos.t = 37 xcos=44.53m
and
Thus, position of the ball is an point p(44.53,39.1)
for the direction:
Now,
Q.2[E] A base ball is thrown towards a player with an inital velocity 20m/s and 45° with the horizantal at the moment the ball is thrown, the player is 50m from the thrower. At what speed and direction must he run to catch the ball at the same height at which it was released?
Given;
Inital velocity(u)= 20m/s
angle of projection
Now,
Hence, speed player must run towards first player with speed 3.53m/s.
Q.2[E] A projectile is fired from the ground level with a velocity of 500m/s at 30° to the horizantal. Find the horizantal range and greatest vertical height to which it rise. What is the least speed with which it could be projected in order to acheive the same horizantal range?(g=10m/s)
given,
inital velocity (u)=500m/s
angle of projection
g=10m/s
Now,we have,
similary;
Again, the case of least speed;
by using formula
[Here’u’ willbe least when ]
Thus, least speed is 465.30m/s in same horizantal range.
Horizantal Projectile:
Any body thrown horizantally from the top of the tower and which moves only under the action of gravity is called horizantal projectile.
Let us consider a body is thrown horizantally from the top of tower of height’h’ and with velocity’u’. Suppose after time ‘t’ it reach at point p(x,y) at depth ‘y’ and horizantal distance x from point of projection.
Since it is thrwon horizantally so it’s inital vertical velocity uy=0 and accleration due to gravity acts in vertical direction only so, it’s horizantal velocity remain constant.
#Motion along horizantal;
…………..(i)
#Motion along vertical;
using equation (i) in equation (ii), we get,
Which is the equation of the form and it is equation of parabola.
so, path of horizantal projectile is also parabolic.
Time of Flight(T): The time for which projectile remains in space is called time for flight.
If ‘T’ be the time of fligt then,
Horizantal Range (R);
The horizantal distance coverd by the projectile during it’s time of flight is called horizantal range.
Now,
R= Horizantal velocity X tiime of flight

Q.3[B] An air plane is flying with a velocity of 90m/s at angle of 23° above the horizantal. When the plane is 114m directly above or dog that is standing on level ground. A sout-case drops out of lodge compartment. How far from the dog will the sout-case land. You can ignore air resistance.
height(h)= 114m
inital velocity(u)= 90m/s

we have
Hence, 782.55m far from the dog will the shout-case land in 9.4 sec time taken.
