Motion in one Dimension - Constant Acceleration
Motion in one Dimension - acceleration In this time, I will introduce new physical quantity to you. Main character is "acceleration". It has also direction. So it's a vector physical quantity. Figure 2-1 let's check the car's motion again. We've defined above figure by one dimension motion. What is the main object in the motion? What is moving now? Yes. It's the car including the driver. What kind of physical quantity does it have? (1) It has 200 kg mass including him. Mass is a scalar. (2) It has velocity as a vector. The magnitude is 20 m/s, and the direction is ( + ), east or right direction. (3) It has displacement as a vector. The magnitude is 10 ( km ) from his house based. The direction is ( - ), west or left direction. We've discussed about above 3 physical quantities. (4) And especially I assumed that there is no resistances, no refractions. At this case with (1),(2),(3),(4) conditions, now the driver stepped on the gas ...
