Chapter 13: Motion of a Point

"In this chapter we begin the study of motion. We are not yet concerned with the properties of objects or the causes of their motions � our objective is to describe and analyze the motion of a point in space. After defining the position, velocity, and acceleration of a point, we consider the simplest case, motion along straight line. We then show how motion of a point along an arbitrary path, or trajectory, is expressed and analyzed using various coordinate systems."
