• It is that branch of Dynamics, which • It is the branch of Dynamics, which
deals with the bodies in motion, deals with the bodies in motion due to
without any reference to the forces the application of forces or simply it
which are responsible for the motion. deals with the forces acting on the body.
• E.g. train moving, car etc. • NOTE: It does consider the mass of the
object.
• E.g. torque, friction etc.

LINEAR MOTION:
Important terms:
1. Speed. The speed of a body may be defined as its rate of change of distance with respect to its
surroundings. The speed of a body is irrespective of its direction and is, thus, a scalar quantity.
2. velocity. The velocity of a body may be defined as its rate of change of displacement, with respect to its
surroundings, in a particular direction. As the velocity is always expressed in particular direction,
therefore it is a vector quantity.
3. Acceleration. The acceleration of a body may be defined as the rate of change of its velocity. It is said
to be positive, when the velocity of a body increases with time, and negative when the velocity
decreases with time. The negative acceleration is also called retardation.
4. 4. Uniform acceleration. If a body moves in such a way that its velocity changes in equal magnitudes in
equal intervals of time, it is said to be moving with a uniform acceleration.
5. Variable acceleration. If a body moves in such a way, that its velocity changes in unequal magnitudes in
equal intervals of time, it is said to be moving with a variable acceleration.
6. Distance traversed. It is the total distance moved by a body. Mathematically, if body is moving with
uniform velocity (v), then in (t) seconds, the distance traversed
s = v×t

Example 17.1. A car starting from rest is accelerated at the rate of 0.4 m/s2. Find the
distance covered by the car in 20 seconds.
Solution. Given : Initial velocity (u) = 0 (because, it starts from rest) ; Acceleration
(a) =0.4 m/s2 and time taken (t) = 20 s
We know that the distance covered by the car,
S= (0×20) + = 80m
