Kinematics of Particles
Kinematics: is the branch of dynamics which describes the
motion of bodies without reference to the forces that either
causes the motion or are generated as a result of the motion.
 Kinematics is often referred to as the “geometry of motion”
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 2
Introduction
Examples of kinematics problems that engage the attention of engineers.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 3
 The design of cams, gears,
linkages, and other machine
elements to control or produce
certain desired motions, and
 The calculation of flight
trajectory for aircraft, rockets and
spacecraft.
• If the particle is confined to a specified path, as with a bead sliding
along a fixed wire, its motion is said to be Constrained.
Example 1. - A small rock tied to the end of a string and whirled in a circle
undergoes constrained motion until the string breaks
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 4
• If there are no physical guides, the motion is said to be
unconstrained.
Example 2. - Airplane, rocket
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 5
• The position of particle P at any time t can be described by
specifying its:
Rectangular coordinates; X,Y,Z Cylindrical coordinates; r,θ,z Spherical coordinates; R, θ,Ф
Also described by measurements
along the tangent t and normal n to
the curve(path variable).
• The motion of particles(or rigid bodies) may be described by
using coordinates measured from fixed reference axis
(absolute motion analysis) or by using coordinates measured
from moving reference axis (relative motion analysis).
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 7
• Is a motion in which a particle moving along a straight
line(one-dimensional motion)
• Consider a particle P moving along a straight line.
Rectilinear motion
Average velocity: for the time interval Δt, it is defined as the ratio of the
displacement Δs to the time interval Δt.
2.1
• As Δt becomes smaller and approaches zero in the limit, the average
velocity approaches the instantaneous velocity of the particle.

 visualizing the relationships among the several motion quantities.
 approximating results by graphical integration or differentiation when a lack

constant.
• The integration limits depend on the initial and final conditions and for a given problem may
be different from those used here.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 23
• Typically, conditions of motion are specified by the type of acceleration experienced by the
particle. Determination of velocity and position requires two successive integrations.
• Three classes of motion may be defined for:
- acceleration given as a function of time, a = f(t)
- acceleration given as a function of position, a = f(x)
- acceleration given as a function of velocity, a = f(v)

Plane Curvilinear Motion
Curvilinear Motion of a Particle
• When a particle moves along a curve other than a straight line,
we say that the particle is in curvilinear motion
The analysis of motion of a particle along a curved path that lies
on a single plane.

• Consider the continuous motion of a particle along a plane curve.
- At time t, the particle is at position P, which is located by the
position vector r measured from some convenient fixed
origin o.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 33
- At time , the particle is at P’ located by the position
vector .

Curvilinear Motion
Normal and Tangential Coordinates
• When a particle moves along a curved path, it is sometimes
convenient to describe its motion using coordinates other than
Cartesian.
• When the path of motion is known, normal (n) and tangential (t)
coordinates are often used.
• They are path variables, which are measurements made along the
tangent t and normal n to the path of the particle.
• They are considered to move along the path with the particle.
• In the n-t coordinate system, the origin is located on the particle
(the origin moves with the particle).
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 59
• The t-axis is tangent to the path (curve) at the instant
considered, positive in the direction of the particle’s motion.
• The n-axis is perpendicular to the t-axis with the positive
direction toward the center of curvature of the curve.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 60
• The coordinate n and t will now be used to describe the velocity v and
acceleration a.
• Similarly to the unit vectors i and j introduced for
rectangular coordinate system, unit vectors for t-n
coordinate system can be used.
• For this purpose we introduce unit vector
• et in the t-direction
• en in the n-direction.
• et - directed toward the direction of motion.
• en-directed toward the center of curvature of
the path.

• During the differential

Applications
Cars traveling along a clover-leaf
interchange experience an
acceleration due to a change in
speed as well as due to a change
in direction of the velocity.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 74
Example 1
• Starting from rest, a motorboat travels
around a circular path of
r = 50 m at a speed that increases with
time, v = (0.2 t2
) m/s.
Find the magnitudes of the boat’s
velocity and acceleration at the instant t
= 3 s.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 75
Example 2
• A jet plane travels along a vertical parabolic
path defined by the equation y = 0.4x2
. At
point A, the jet has a speed of 200 m/s, which is
increasing at the rate of 0.8 m/s2
. Find the
magnitude of the plane’s acceleration when it
is at point A.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 76
Example 3
• A race traveling at a speed of 250km/h on the straightway
applies his brakes at point A and reduce his speed at a
uniform rate to 200km/h at C in a distance of 300m.
• Calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the
race car an instant after it passes point B.

Curvilinear Motion

• Where the particle is located by the radial distance r from a fixed
pole and by an angular measurement ѳ to the radial line.
• Polar coordinates are particularly useful when a motion is
constrained through the control of a radial distance and an angular
position, or when an unconstrained motion is observed by
measurements of a radial distance and an angular position.

• In this portion Relative motion analysis : is the motion analysis of a
particle using moving reference system coordinate in reference to
fixed reference system.
• we will confine our attention to:-
– moving reference systems that translate but do not rotate.
– The relative motion analysis is limited to plane motion.

2. Translating(not rotating) frame of reference.

    • Note: Inrelative motion analysis, we employed the following two methods, 1. Trigonometric(vector diagram) – A sketch of the vector triangle is made to reveal the trigonometry 2. Vector algebra – using unit vector i and j, express each of the vectors in vector form. AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 99

    Constrained Motion (DependentMotion) • Sometimes the position of a particle will depend upon the position of another or of several particles. • If the particles are connected together by an inextensible ropes, the resulting motion is called constrained motion AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 102

    Important points inthis technique: • Each datum must be defined from a fixed position. • In many problems, there may be multiple lengths like lCD that don’t change as the system moves. Instead of giving each of these lengths a separate label, we may just incorporate them into an effective length: AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 105
