Chapter 2 Motion in One Dimension
Dynamics The branch of physics involving the motion of an object and the relationship between that motion and other physics concepts Kinematics is a part of dynamics In kinematics, you are interested in the description of motion Not concerned with the cause of the motion

Vector and scalar Quantities Vector quantities need both magnitude(size)and direction to completely describe them Generally denoted by boldfaced type and an arrow over the letter t or- sign is sufficient for this chapter Scalar quantities are completely described by magnitude only

Displacement Isn't Distance The displacement of an object is not the same as the distance it travels Example: Throw a ball straight up and then catch it at the same point you released it The distance is twice the height The displacement is zero
