PHY221 Ch2: 2D Kinematics 1. Main Points Vectors: Components Coordinates of P in 3D Cartesian Coordinates Components of displacement from O to P in 3D in Cartesian Coordinates

PHY221 Ch2: 2D Kinematics 1. Main Points Vectors: Components and magnitude. All the vectors we will be dealing with, are built from the displacement vector using the laws of vector addition and multiplication defined on the next slide. The magnitude of the displacement is defined by:

PHY221 Ch2: 2D Kinematics 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

PHY221 Ch2: 2D Kinematics 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 v train car
