Some Basic Mathematical Concepts
When we study kinematics, we do not go in the details of what is causing the motion, but we just analyze the motion.
Planar motion.
To describe position of a point, coordinate system.
Introduction To Kinematics Basic Mathematical Concepts L-2
Coordinate System
Cartesian axes (x, y)
We take two mutually perpendicular directions.
x and y are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other.
The intersection of these is called the origin represented by O.
Any point P, which is at a location on the cartesian plane, is described by the coordinates of x and y.

Displacement
Displacement can be positive and negative.
Positive → if particle moves along x-axis.
Negative if paricle move against x axis.
Moving along −x axis.
Displacement is a vector quantity.
In one dimensional motion, direction of displacement is given by the sign, is positive then it is along + x axis and if it is negative then it is along - x axis.
