Course overview motion in 1d and 2d1:45
Explore kinematics across one dimension and two dimensions, from basic to advanced concepts, including vectors and calculus, to prepare grade 11–12 students for physics and engineering or medical entrance exams.
Introduction2:39
Introduction : What is kinematics?3:40
Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.[1][2][3] Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is occasionally seen as a branch of mathematics.[4][5][6] A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system. Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined. The study of how forces act on bodies falls within kinetics, not kinematics.

Quiz on distance and displacement

Position time graph114:40
Position time graph and calculating average speed from position time graph
Distance-time graphs
A distance-time graph shows how far something travels over a period of time. The vertical axis of a distance-time graph is the distance travelled from the start. The horizontal axis is the time from the start.
Features of the graphs
When an object is stationary, the line on the graph is horizontal. When an object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line, the line on the graph is straight but sloped.
Position time graph 28:21
Position time graph 35:56
Calculating speed or velocity from position time graph
Comparing motion of two objects from position time graph19:08
Average speed18:36
Average speed
When an object moves in a straight line at a steady speed, you can calculate its average speed if you know how far it travels and how long it takes. The following equation shows the relationship between average speed, distance moved and time taken:
average speed=distance moved/time taken

average speed is measured in metres per second, m/s
distance moved is measured in metres, m
time taken is measured in seconds, s
For example, a car travels 300 m in 20 s. Its average speed is:
300 ÷ 20 = 15 m/s
Velocity , average velocity , velocity time graph34:06
The velocity of a particle is a vector quantity that describes the magnitude as well as direction of motion of the particle. More mathematically, the rate of change of the position vector of a point, with respect to time is the velocity of the point. Consider the ratio formed by dividing the difference of two positions of a particle by the time interval. This ratio is called the average velocity over that time interval and is defined as
Vavg= Delta r/delta t

whereDelta r is the change in the position vector during the time interval Delta t.
In the limit that the time interva Delta t approaches zero, the average velocity approaches the instantaneous velocity, defined as the time derivative of the position vector,

The speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity. It is a scalar quantity:
v=IvI= ds/dt
where s is the arc-length measured along the trajectory of the particle. This arc-length must always increase as the particle moves. Hence, ds/dt is non-negative, which implies that speed is also non-negative.
Quiz on average speed and average velocity

Analyzing velocity time graph18:41
By analysing the the units for the slope of velocity time graph , m/s2 you can detrmine acceleration of the object. The motion of bike taken in this example is a non uniform motion . position time graph is curved concave downward indicating velocity is decreasing and acceleration is negative . velocity time graph is a straight line with negative slope suggesting negative acceleration or retarded motion .
Displacement and acceleration from velocity time graph20:39
Derive displacement and acceleration from velocity-time graphs by calculating areas under the curve and the slope of the graph, with examples using rectangular and trapezoidal regions and positive/negative velocities.
Ball thrown upward (Concept + Graph )6:58
Ball thrown upward shows velocity decreasing to zero at the highest point and becoming negative on descent under constant downward gravity, illustrating uniformly accelerated motion and velocity-time and displacement-time graphs.
Average velocity and acceleration calculation14:35
Illustrates how to compute average velocity as total displacement over total time and acceleration as the change in velocity over time, using eastward motion and displacement examples.
