Scalars and Vectors In physics, quantities could be classified into two groups: 1- Scalar quantities. 2- Vector quantities. Scalar quantities are quantities that could be described by magnitude (value and unit) only. Examples: time , distance, speed, work and pressure Vector quantities are quantities that could be described by magnitude (value and unit) and direction. Examples: force, position , displacement, velocity and acceleration Ziyad Hamdan

A coordinate system tells you the location of the zero point of the variable you are studying and the direction in which the values of the variable increase. The origin is the point at which both variables have the value zero . SECTION 2.2 Where and When? Coordinate Systems Origin (0,0)
Position Position of an object is how far from the origin the object is with direction . Position is a vector quantity because it has a magnitude and a direction. With respect to the coordinate system, If the object is to the right of or above the origin then its position is positive. If the object is to the left of or below the origin then its position is negative. The symbol used for position is ( x ). The SI unit for position is meter (m) Ziyad Hamdan

You can indicate the position of the runner in motion diagram by drawing an arrow from the origin to the point representing the object , as shown in the figure. The two arrows locate the runner’s position at two different times. Where and When? Position
The length of the position arrow from the origin indicates its distance from the origin, in case of straight line motion,. Where and When? Position
A position, 5 m left of the origin, would be a negative position, as shown in the figure below. Where and When? Position

What is motion? Motion of an object is the change in the position of the object with respect to a fixed point . 1- position (place) of the object. Usually the origin (0,0) in a coordinate system is used as the fixed point. The coordinate system with the origin as the fixed point is called reference point (Frame of reference) . To describe the motion of an object we need at least two factors: 2- time. Ziyad Hamdan
Motion Diagram is a series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals. In a particle model , you replace the object or objects of interest with single points. What is motion Diagram? Ziyad Hamdan

Distance and displacement When an object changes its position with respect to origin (moves), its motion is described by one of two quantities: 1- Distance 1- Displacement Distance is the length of the entire path travelled by an object. Distance is a scalar quantity, it is described only by magnitude. The SI unit of distance is meter (m). The distance travelled by an object depends on the path of the travel. Ziyad Hamdan
Distance Example: Answer: Distance = 3 m An object travels from point A to point B as shown in the below diagram. How much distance was travelled by the object A m B Example: Answer: Distance = 5 m An object travels from point A to point B as shown in the below diagram. How much distance was travelled by the object A m B Ziyad Hamdan
Distance Example: Answer: Distance = 5 + 3 = 8 m An object travels from point A to point B then to point C as shown in the below diagram. How much distance was travelled by the object A m C B Example: Answer: Distance = 2 + 7 = 9 m An object travels from point A to point B then to point C as shown in the below diagram. How much distance was travelled by the object C m B A Ziyad Hamdan
Distance Example: Answer: Distance = 3 + 3 = 6 m An object travels from point A to point B and comes back to point A as shown in the below diagram. How much distance was travelled by the object A m B Ziyad Hamdan
Distance and displacement Displacement is the Change in the position. Displacement is a vector quantity, it is described by magnitude and direction. The SI unit of displacement is meter (m). The displacement travelled by an object does not depends on the path of the travel, it only depends on initial and final positions. The symbol for displacement is ( ∆x ). Mathematically, displacement is the shortest length between initial (starting) position and final (finishing) position with direction. Displacement = x i : the initial position x f : the final position Ziyad Hamdan

Time When we describe motion of an object, we may deal with two concepts of time: - Time at a point (t) : the time at a specific position. Time interval (∆t) : how long it takes the object to travel between two positions t i : the time point at which the object was at the initial position t f : the time point at which the object was at the final position Time interval is a scalar quantity, it has magnitude only. The SI unit of time interval is second (s) Time interval equals the change in time from the initial time to the final time Ziyad Hamdan
