Abstract: |
This chapter introduces the basic principles of kinetic theory. First, the concepts of vector and scalar quantities in physics are introduced. Then the basic quantities describing the motion of bodies, such as position, velocity and acceleration, are introduced. Using basic principles of calculus, the way to calculate velocity and acceleration if the position of the motion at each instant of time is known, as well as the way to calculate position and velocity if the acceleration of the motion at each instant of time is known, are also introduced. The simple types of linear motion (motion along a straight line) are also analyzed, namely uniform linear motion with constant velocity (zero acceleration), and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The principle of independence of motion along the axes is presented. Finally, Newton's laws and their connection with the motion of bodies are described.
