Key Topics to Revise
1
Introduction to Mechanics and Basic Definitions
- Mechanics is the branch of physics dealing with motion of particles in space and time
- Kinematics studies motion regardless of causes (forces)
- Dynamics studies the causes of motion
2
Classification and Types of Motion
- Motion classified by dimensions: 1D (straight line), 2D (plane), 3D (space)
- Motion classified by acceleration: Uniform, uniformly accelerated, non-uniform
- Uniform motion: constant velocity, zero acceleration
3
One-Dimensional Motion with Uniform Acceleration
- Motion along straight line with constant acceleration
- Three fundamental equations of motion (kinematic equations)
- Sign convention: choose positive direction, opposite is negative
4
Non-uniform Acceleration and Calculus Methods
- When acceleration varies with time: use a = dv/dt and v = ds/dt
- Integration used to go from acceleration to velocity to displacement
- Differentiation used to go from displacement to velocity to acceleration
