Kinematics – Class 11 Physics Notes

Introduction to Kinematics

Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces causing it. It deals with the following parameters:

• Displacement
  
  

• Velocity
  
  

• Acceleration
  
  

• Time
  
  

1. Basic Terms in Kinematics

1.1 Position, Path Length, and Displacement

• Position (x,y,z)(x, y, z): The location of an object in a given frame of reference.
  
  

• Path Length: The total distance covered by an object during motion.
  
  

• Displacement: The shortest straight-line distance between the initial and final positions of an object.
  
  

Key Properties of Displacement:

• It is a vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction).
  
  

• SI Unit: Meter (m).
  
  

1.2 Types of Motion

1. Rectilinear Motion: Motion along a straight line.
   
   

2. Curvilinear Motion: Motion along a curved path.
   
   

3. Circular Motion: Motion along a circular path.
   
   

4. Projectile Motion: Motion under gravity with both horizontal and vertical components.
   
   

2. Speed and Velocity

2.1 Speed (Scalar Quantity)

• Average Speed:
  Average Speed=Total Distance TraveledTotal Time Taken\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance Traveled}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}

• Instantaneous Speed: The speed of an object at any given instant of time.
  
  

2.2 Velocity (Vector Quantity)

• Velocity: The rate of change of displacement.
  Velocity=DisplacementTime\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}

• Average Velocity:
  Average Velocity=Final Position−Initial PositionTotal Time Taken\text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Final Position} - \text{Initial Position}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}

• Instantaneous Velocity: The velocity of an object at a specific instant.
  
  

Key Differences Between Speed and Velocity

Always positive

Can be positive, negative, or zero

Total distance covered / time

Displacement / time

3. Acceleration

3.1 Definition and Formula

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

MathType(v = u + at) 

where:

• aa = Acceleration
  
  

• Δv\Delta v = Change in velocity
  
  

• Δt\Delta t = Time interval
  
  

3.2 Types of Acceleration

• Uniform Acceleration: Acceleration remains constant throughout motion (e.g., free fall).
  
  

• Non-uniform Acceleration: Acceleration varies with time.
  
  

• Instantaneous Acceleration: Acceleration at a particular moment.
  
  

4. Equations of Motion for Uniformly Accelerated Motion

For motion in a straight line with constant acceleration, the three equations of motion are:

First Equation of Motion:

v=u+atv = u + at

Second Equation of Motion:

Third Equation of Motion:

v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2as

where:

• uu = Initial velocity
  
  

• vv = Final velocity
  
  

• aa = Acceleration
  
  

• ss = Displacement
  
  

• tt = Time
