My ideas on laws of motion
Motion can be defined as the change of position with respect to time and reference point. Motion can explained by five major aspects.
- Displacement
- Velocity
- Time
- Direction
- Acceleration
Velocity
Velocity can be defined as speed with direction. When we say that our vehicle is moving with the speed of 50 km/ph towards north so here we are dealing with velocity as we are talking about the direction.
Displacement
Displacement can be defined as the straight line distance between final and initial point. The distance between two point can be curved along the path the object has moved but displacement is always in a straight and shortest path. This can be calculated by using the simple formula
x2 - x1= s
As displacement is a vector quantity fascinating frames can be made using this the units of measurement is same as the measurements of distance.
Time
Time is the dimension of space and is a measure relative to which any thing moves and act from past to present and further to future.
second | 1 sec | SI base unit |
decasecond | 10 seconds | |
minute | 60 seconds | |
moment(historical) | 1/40th of an hour | used by Medieval Western European computists.[29] |
hectosecond | 100 seconds | 1 minute and 40 seconds |
ke | 864 seconds | traditional Chinese unit of decimal time duration, usually 1/100 of a day. 14 minutes and 24 seconds. (Nearly 1/4 of an hour.) |
kilosecond | 1,000 seconds | 16 minutes and 40 seconds |
hour | 60 minutes | |
day | 24 hours | longest unit used on stopwatches and countdowns |
week | 7 days | Also called sennight |
megasecond | 1,000,000 seconds | About 11.6 days |
fortnight | 14 days | 2 weeks (more common in Great Britain) |
lunar month | 27.2–29.5 days | Various definitions of lunar month exist. |
month | 28–31 days | |
quarter and season | 3 months | The duration of any of the four calendar seasons; winter, spring, summer and autumn. |
year | 12 months |
Direction
Direction gives us information of relative position between two points.
Acceleration
According to me acceleration is a very interesting topic in physics. Acceleration is the change in velocity over unit time. Some time velocity of an object declines and this phenomena is called retardation. Acceleration can be measured using a simple formula. The formula cays that the difference of final and initial velocity divided by unit time is equal to acceleration.
v-u/t
Newtons law of motion
Their are three laws of motion
1 .When viewed in inertial frame every object remains at rest or at constant velocity until any net force is applied on it.This law is also called the law of inertia, inertia is the property of a object in motion to resist rest.This can be mathematically written as
f=o so dv/dt =o
2 .Vector sum of the forces on an object is equal to the product of mass and the sum of acceleration. this also involves the concept of momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. It is also the property of a object in motion to resist rest.
f=dp/dt=d(mv)/dt
Second law states that the net force is equal to the rate of change in linear momentum.
f=m(dv/dt)=ma
Second law can be also written in form of acceleration.
