DYNAMICS
What is Dynamics
• Dynamics branch of physical science and
subdivision of mechanics that is concerned with
the motion of material objects in relation to the
physical factors that affect them: force, mass,
momentum, energy.
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• Rectilinear motion is another name for straight-line motion.
This type of motion describes the movement of a particle or a
body.
A body is said to experience rectilinear motion if any two
particles of the body travel the same distance along two
parallel straight lines. The figures below illustrate rectilinear
motion for a particle and body.
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• When acceleration constant
• Formulas
• x = x0 +ῡt
Where : x = Total distance travelled
x0 = Initial distance travelled
ῡ = Average Velocity
t = time
vo + v
• ῡ=
2
Where : ῡ = Average Velocity
V0 = Initial Velocity
V = Final Velocity
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• When acceleration constant
• Formulas :
• v = vo + at
1 2
• x = v0t + at
2
• v2 = v02 + 2 ax
Where : v = Final velocity
v0 = Initial Velocity
a = Acceleration
t = Time
x = Displacement or Distance travelled
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• Example
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21
seconds for a distance of 110 m. Determine the acceleration of the
car.
Given : Required:
v0 = 0 a=?
t=5.21s
x= 110m
Solution:
1
x = v0t + at2

110 = 0 + (a)(5.212)

RECTILINEAR MOTION
• Free-Falling Bodies
• Formulas:
• v = vo + gt
1
• y = v0t + gt2
2
• v2 = v02 + 2 gy
Where : v = Final velocity
v0 = Initial Velocity
g = gravity (9.81 𝑚 𝑠2, 32.2𝑓𝑡 𝑠2)
t = Time
y = Displacement or Distance travelled
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• Example
• A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 80 m high
at the same instant that a second stone is thrown
upward from the ground with and initial velocity of
40 𝑚 𝑠. When and where do they pass?
y1
y2 80m
RECTILINEAR MOTION
• y1 + y2 =80 y1

* (y= v0t + gt2)
2 80m
y2
1 1
• v01t1 + gt12 + v02t2 - gt22 = 80
2 2
* (t1 = t2, since they were both released at the
time and when they will pass each other at
the same time also)
* ( we also know that v0 = 0 since it was released )/
1 1
• gt2 + 40t - gt2 = 80
2 2
• 40t =80
• t =2 sec
1 1 1
• y1 = v01t1 + gt12 y1 = gt12 y1 = (9.81)(22) y1=19.62m

RECTILINEAR MOTION
• The two stones will pass each other at 2 seconds from a
distance of 19.62m from the top of the tower
