In this lesson, you will learn more about motion in one dimension, meaning that an object is moving in a straight line: either forwards or backwards, up or down, left or right. An example of one-dimensional motion is the motion of the cars in the drag race video.

v(t) = at + v0 and a(t) = a. We will now use these equations to solve some physics problems involving motion in one dimension with constant acceleration.

Some examples of one-dimensional motions are: a car moving on a straight road. a person walking down a hallway. a sprinter running on a straight race course.

Other examples of two-dimensional motion include a gymnast on a balance beam, a clown shot out of a cannon, a rollercoaster doing a loop, and a volleyball being set in a beach volleyball game. The rest of this lesson will examine how to analyze two-dimensional motion.

The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory. The key to analyzing two-dimensional projectile motion is to break it into two motions, one along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical. To describe motion we must deal with velocity and acceleration, as well as with displacement.

more Having only two dimensions, such as width and height but no thickness. Squares, Circles, Triangles, etc are two-dimensional objects. Also known as “2D”.

In geometry, a three-dimensional shape can be defined as a solid figure or an object or shape that has three dimensions – length, width and height. Unlike two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional shapes have thickness or depth.

In two dimensional diagrams, the areas of the diagrams are used to represent the magnitudes. Rectangles, squares and circles with area proportional to the observations are used to represent each category of these, circles are most commonly used. Such diagrams are called pie – diagrams.

When a work of art is classified as being 2-dimensional, it means that the composition possesses the dimensions of length and width but does not possess depth. All 2-dimensional pieces of art, such as drawings, paintings, and prints, are made up of shapes.

Sculptures are a three dimensional artform, given shape and brought to life by various materials and many different techniques. The design of a sculpture can vary from it being embedded on a surface or a free standing object, or even a kind of unseen/unnoticed discovery.

It isn’t possible to have a truly 2D object in our space-time – the energy required to make it exist would defacto collapse it into a black hole. That said, black hole event horizons may be 2D structures – though the fact they are wrapped around a sphere/torus may cause that to be disputed.

A shadow is a dark (real image) area where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or a reverse projection of the object blocking the light.

People, like any other object that we know of, are made of particles that move in 4-dimensional spacetime. Therefore, although a person (or any other object) occupies only a 3-dimensional volume in space, its path through spacetime would look like a 4-dimensional volume.

Moving through space necessitates you to move through time as well. Hence, they argue that time is the 4th dimension since without it, we cannot construct any meaningful position vector with an unchanging length. Time’s dimension is a line going from the past to present to future.

Time is just as good a dimension as space is, as no matter how you boost yourself through space, you must always move forward through time. If time weren’t a dimension with the exact properties it possesses, special relativity would be invalid, and we could not construct spacetime to describe our Universe.
