Engineering Mechanics – Statics 12.05 Kinematics of a Particle

§2.Rectilinear Kinematics: Continuous Motion

- Position

• Consider a particle in rectilinear motion from a fixed origin 𝑂in the 𝑠 direction

• For a given instant, 𝑠 is the position coordinate of the particle

• The magnitude of 𝑠 is the distance from the origin

• Note that the position coordinate would be negative if the

particle traveled in the opposite direction according to our

frame of reference

• Position is has a magnitude (distance from origin) and is

based on a specific direction. It is therefore a vector quantity

§2.Rectilinear Kinematics: Continuous Motion

- Displacement

• Displacement is defined as the change in position 𝑠

∆𝑠 = 𝑠′ − 𝑠

• Displacement is also a vector quantity characterized by a

magnitude and a direction

• Note that distance on the other hand is a scalar quantity

representing the length from an origin

- Distance

• Total length of the path over which object travelled (scalar)

• Distance ≠ displacement!

• Distance is path-dependentHCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien

Resolving each vector into its 𝑥 and 𝑦components

(+⟶): 60 = 45𝑐𝑜𝑠450 + 𝑣𝑇/𝐴𝑥 + 0

- Example 12.26 Plane 𝐴 is flying along a straight-line path,

here as plane 𝐵 is flying along a circular

path having a radius of curvature of

𝜌𝐵 = 400𝑘𝑚 . Determine the velocity

and acceleration of 𝐵 as measured by
