Motion Along a Straight Line
The position of an object defines its location relative to a convenient frame of reference at any particular time. A frame of reference is an…
To calculate the other physical quantities in kinematics, we must introduce the time variable. The time variable allows us not only to state the…
Instantaneous velocity is the quantity that measures how fast an object is moving along its path. In other words, the instantaneous velocity of an…
The importance of understanding acceleration spans our day-to-day experiences, as well as the vast reaches of outer space and the tiny world of…
When an object moves with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object changes at a constant rate throughout the motion. The kinematic equations…
The second kinematic equation expresses the final position of an object in terms of its initial position, the distance traveled with the initial…
When analyzing one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration, the problem-solving strategy involves identifying the known quantities and choosing…
All objects, neglecting air resistance, fall with the same acceleration towards the Earth's center due to the force exerted by the Earth's…
For slender and lightweight structures, vibration serviceability is a matter of growing concern, often constituting the critical design requirement.…
Long-distance displacement measurements using optical fibers have always been a challenge in both basic research and industrial production. We…
