Section 2
Review of Kinematics
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 11 / 48
Kinematics in One Dimensions
The motion of the particle is described specifying the positionas a function of time, say, x (t).
The instantaneous velocity is defined as
v (t) =dx(t)
dt= lim
∆t→0
x(t+ ∆t)− x(t)
∆t(1)
and instantaneous acceleration, as
a (t) =dv(t)
dt= lim
∆t→0
v(t+ ∆t)− v(t)
∆t(2)
=d2x(t)
dt2
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 12 / 48
Simple Example
If x (t) = sin(t), then v (t) = cos(t) and a (t) = −sin(t).

Acceleration
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 13 / 48
Kinematics in One Dimension
Usually the x (t) is not known in advance!
However, the acceleration a (t) is known at all times t > t0(=giventime), and at t0, position x (t0) and velocity v (t0) are known.
The formal solution to this problem is
v (t) = v (t0) +
ˆ t
t0
a(t′)dt′
x (t) = x (t0) +
ˆ t
t0
v(t′)dt′
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 14 / 48
Constant Acceleration
Let the acceleration of a particle be a0, a constant at all times. If, att = 0 velocity of the particle is v0, then
v (t) = v0 +
ˆ t
0a0dt
= v0 + a0t
And if the position at t = 0 is x0,
x (t) = x0 + v0t+1
2a0t

These are familiar formulae.
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 15 / 48
Kinematics in One Dimension
More complex situations may arise, where an acceleration isspecified as a function of position, velocity and time, a (x, x, t).In this case, we need to solve a differential equation
d2x
dt2= a (x, x, t)
which may or may not be simple.
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 16 / 48
Solution methodology
Simple integrationAccleration is function of t alone → dv
dt = a(t)
Accleration is function of x alone → dvdt = dv
dxdxdt = v dv
dx = a(x)
Accleration is function of v alone → dvdt = a(t)→ dt = dv
a(v)
First ordered differential equation
Acceleration is function of v and t → dv
dt= a(v, t)
Acceleration is function of v and x → vdv
dx= a(v, x)
Second ordered differential equation: other cases
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 17 / 48

Kinematics in Two Dimensions
Velocity and Acceleration are vector quantities.Formal solutions can be written in exactly the same way as in caseof one dimensional motion.Typical problem, however, may specify acceleration as a functionof coordinates, velocities etc.In this case, we have to solve two coupled differential equations
d2x
dt2= ax(x, y, x, y, t)
d2y
dt2= ay(x, y, x, y, t)
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 20 / 48
Projectile Motion
A ball is projected at an angle θ with a speed u. The net acceleration isin downward direction. Then ax = 0 and ay = −g. The equations are
d2x
dt2= 0
d2y
dt2= −g
We know the solutions.
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 21 / 48

Solution is rather simple, that is circular motion in xy plane.

Cartesian Coordinate
Geometric definition of magnitude anddirection of vectors allow us to defineoperations: addition, subtraction, andmultiplication by scalars.Often a coordinate system is helpful as itis easier to manipulate the coordinates of avector, than manipulating its magnitudeand direction.To determine vector coordinates, the firststep is to translate the vector so that itstail is at the origin and head will be atsome point P (x, y).

Cartesian Coordinate
Position vector of P is r = ix+ jy.Change x only keeping y fixed suchthat P moved to Q.The “direction” of increasing thevector is defined as
ex =dr

This vector is not necessarily normalizedto have unit length, but from it we canalways construct the unit vector as

Polar CoordinatesEach point P = (x, y) of a plane can also be specified by its distancefrom the origin, O and the angle that the line OP makes with x−axis.
Transformations:
r = +√x2 + y2
θ = tan−1(yx
)(r, θ) are called Plane Polar Coordinates.
Inverse Transformations:
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ
Ranges: r ∈ (0, ∞) and θ ∈ (0, 2π).tan θ = tan (θ + π) suggests toreplace θ by θ + π, for x < 0, y < 0.

Motion in Plane Polar Coordinates
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 34 / 48
Motion in Polar Coordinates
Suppose a particle is travellingalong a trajectory given by r(t).Now the position vector
r (t) = x (t) i + y (t) j
= r (t) (i cos (θ (t)) + j sin (θ (t)))
= r (t) r (θ (t))
r (t) depends on θ implicitlythrough r vector.

We need to know θ to see how r is oriented. We need to know r to seehow far we are from the origin.

Circular Motion
In a circular motion, r = R = Constant . Then, r = r = 0 . Thus
v = Rθθ
a = −Rθ2r +Rθθ
Consider a special case of uniform circular motion: θ = 0 .Speed is constant, and velocity is tangentialAcceleration is radial (central)

Central Acceleration
Central Accelerations
When the acceleration of a particle points to the origin at all times andis only function of distance of the particle from the origin, theacceleration is called central acceleration.
a = f(r)r
Examples are 1/r2 (Gravitational and Electrostatic), 1/r6
(Van-dar-Waals), kr (Spring) etc.Angular momentum of the particle remains constant.
rθ + 2rθ =d
dt(r2θ) = 0
r2θ = constant during motion.
Santabrata Das (IITG) PH 101, July-November 30 July, 2014 45 / 48
