KINEMATICS
Abstract - Kinematics of linear motion is defined as the studies of motion of objects without considering the effects that produce the motion. This experiment will show how to determine the linear motion with constant (uniform) velocity particularly the dynamic cart and linear motion with constant (uniform) acceleration, (e.g. free fall of motion). At the end of the experiment we found out that the velocity is a speed that involves direction of an object as well as the time. While for the acceleration, it is directly proportional to the distance or height but inversely proportional to the time. By close observations, recording of data and right computations we were able to come up with accurate results. Hence, the objectives of this experiment were successfully achieved.
I. INTRODUCTION - Kinematics is a branch of mechanics that studies the motion of a body or a system of bodies without consideration given to its mass or the forces acting on it. Kinematics uses the following basic concepts: distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration. It describes the position and motion of an object as a function of time, but does not include the causes or factors that affect the motion. The two methods by which the motion of an object can be described are those using mathematical equations and graphical analysis.
We can say that motion is exhibited by a change in position. For us to clearly define motion, we must know where the body is located within the given area of reference. An area of reference is a physical entity such as the earth’s surface, the deck of a ship or a moving vehicle, to which the position and motion of an object is relative. Our laboratory experiment is conducted for us to understand more the concepts of Kinematics. We also focused on the relationships of the distance, speed, height and acceleration of moving
