    Handouts in Physical Science

    Mechanics- field of physics that specializes in the study of motion of objects


    Mechanics is divided into 2
    1. Kinematics- deals with quantitative description of motion
    2. Dynamics focuses on the forces that affect motion
    Motion- Any physical movement or change in position or place relative to a reference point
    Rectilinear Motion- when a body moves along a straight line path
    Curvilinear Motion -If a body moves along a curve path
    Random Motion- If a body move in space
    Distance- The length of the path traversed by a body
    Displacement – shortest distance from the initial to the final position
    Scalar Quantity – it has magnitude only
    Vector Quantity- has both magnitude and direction
    Speed- the measure of how fast an object is moving.
    Velocity- a vector quantity and is defined as the rate of change of displacement
    Acceleration- the rate of change in velocity per unit time interval
    3 Newton’s Law of Motion
    1. Newton’s first law of motion (Law of Inertia)- states that an object will continue in its state of rest
    or in motion in a straight line at a constant speed if no net force acts on it
    2. Newton’s second law of motion (Law of acceleration) -states that the acceleration produced by
    a net force on a body is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction
    as the net, and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
    3. Newton’s third law of motion (Law of Interaction or Law of action reaction) states that for
    every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
    Inertia is the resistance of a body to change its state of rest or uniform motion. The mass is measure of its
    inertia tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or of uniform speed along a straight line.
    Mass is a measure of the actual material present in a body./Amount of material present in a body.
    Weight gravitational force that acts on the material of the body.
    The acceleration due to gravity of a free falling objects is equal to 9.8m/s 2

    Force is that which changes the state of rest or in uniform motion of an object.
