1- Introduction
Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences that is concerned with the
state of rest or motion of bodies subjected to the action of forces.
Position.
Displacement.
∆𝑠 = 𝑠 − 𝑠
Velocity.
∆𝑠
𝑉𝑎𝑣𝑒 =
∆𝑡
If we take smaller and smaller values of t, the magnitude of s becomes smaller and
smaller. Consequently, the instantaneous velocity is a vector defined as
∆𝑠 𝑑𝑠
v= lim ∆𝑡 𝑠 = 𝑑𝑡
∆𝑡→0
Acceleration.

Example 1: The position of a particle with a specific movement along a straight line is given by equation
(s= 2𝑡 3 − 24𝑡 + 6) where s is measured by meters from an appropriate source and t is measured in seconds.
Find, (a) the time required for the particle to reach a velocity of 72 m/s of the initialization position when the t
= 0, (b) the acceleration of the body when the V = 30 m/s; (c) the net displacement of the particle during the
period from t=1 s to t=4 s.

Example: The sliding object moves in the horizontal guide under a spring effect and with
negligible friction. The velocity of the particle vo in the direction s , when the particle passes
from the point of t=0 , s = 0. The spring together exert a deceleration force on the movement of
the slider, resulting in an acceleration proportional to the displacement in the opposite direction
of a = -k2s, where k is a constant. Find relationships between displacement (s) and velocity (v) in
terms of time (t).
