Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 20 A flatbed railroad car is moving along a track at constant velocity. A passenger at the center of the car throws a ball straight up. Neglecting air resistance, where will the ball land? A) Forward of the center of the car B) At the center of the car C) Backward of the center of the car correct Ball and car start with same x position and x velocity, Since a = 0 they always have same x position.

Monkey troubles A. B. C. Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 23 You are a vet trying to shoot a tranquilizer dart into a monkey hanging from a branch in a distant tree. You know that the monkey is very nervous, and will let go of the branch and start to fall as soon as your gun goes off. In order to hit the monkey with the dart, where should you point the gun before shooting? A) Right at the monkey B) Below the monkey C) Above the monkey

Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 24 Monkey x  x o Dart x  v o t Shooting the Monkey…

Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 25 Shooting the Monkey… y = v oy t  1 / 2 g t 2 Still works even if you shoot upwards! y = y o  1 / 2 g t 2 Dart hits the monkey

Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 27 Checkpoint 2 A) Enemy 1 B) Enemy 2 C) They are both hit at the same time 60% of you had incorrect answer… Let’s try again. Enemy 1Destroyer Enemy 2

Enemy 1Destroyer Enemy 2 Checkpoint 2 A. B. C. Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 28 …Which enemy ship gets hit first? A) Enemy 1 B) Enemy 2 C) Same B) The height of the shell fired at ship 2 is less, so ship 2 gets hit first.

Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 29 Enemy 1Destroyer Checkpoint 3 A destroyer fires two shells with different initial speeds at two different enemy ships. The shells follow the trajectories shown. Which enemy ship gets hit first? Enemy 2 A) Enemy 1 B) Enemy 2 C) They are both hit at the same time 66% of you had incorrect answer… Let’s try again.

Checkpoint 3 A. B. C. Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 30 Enemy 1DestroyerEnemy 2 …Which enemy ship gets hit first? A) Enemy 1 B) Enemy 2 C) Same C) they both achieve the same height so they remain in the air the same amount of time

Mechanics Lecture 2, Slide 37 Field Goal Example A field goal kicker can kick the ball 30 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees w.r.t. the ground. If the crossbar of the goal post is 3m off the ground, from how far away can he kick a field goal? y-direction v oy = v o sin(30 o ) = 15 m/s y = y o + v oy t + ½ at 2 3 m = 0 m + (15 m/s) t – ½ (9.8 m/s 2 ) t 2 t = 2.8 s or t = 0.22 s. x-direction v ox = v o cos(30 o ) = 26 m/s D = x o + v ox t + ½ at 2 = 0 m + (26 m/s)(2.8 s) + 0 m/s 2 (2.8 s ) 2 = 72.8 m D 3 m y x Illini Kicks 70 yard Field Goal
