1. Ch 3: 2-D motion & vectors
Use arrows to show the direction and magnitude of vectors
Scalar: just magnitude
Vector: magnitude (length of vector) and direction
tail
head

2. Adding vectors graphically
Must be the same units ( v&v or a&a ect)
Resultant: sum of vectors, order does not matter.

3. Steps determine 0o north and list know vectors
est. scale ( 1cm = 200m ect.)
est. starting pt., place tail of 1st vector there with correct mag. & direction
connect tail of 2nd to head of 1st ( correct mag. & direction) continue until all vectors added
connect tail 1st to head last ( resultant) use scale to determine mag. and protractor to measure . cw rotation, add  to 1st vector direction. ccw rotation, subtract from 1st vector direction .

8. Resolving vectors into components( projections)
Any vector can be completely described by a set of perpendicular components
sin  =Vy/V cos  = Vx/V V Vy  Vx

9. Board work

12. Projectile motion
Motion of objects moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity
Paths followed is a parabolic trajectories
Will always have a horizontal velocity component of flight that is constant. ( neglect air resistance, no force in Vx direction)
Projectile motion is free fall motion with an initial constant horizontal velocity and Vyi = 0 that is constantly changing.

13. 2 motions vertical motion: Dy = vyit + 1/2gDt2
y = -1/2gt2 ( - from g) & vyf=-gt ( - from g)
horizontal motion: x = vxt ( vx constant)

14. Board work
People in movies often jump from buildings into pools. If a person jumps from the 10th floor(30.0m) to a pool that is 5.0m away from the building. What is the initial horizontal velocity the person must jump with?
2.0m/s

15. Projectiles at angles
use components to analyze objects launched at angles
vxi=vi(cos)
Used to calculate Dx
vyi=vi(sin)
Used to determine time in flight. vi
vyi 
vxi

16. Cont. equations x = vi(cos)t : x=vxt : vx const.
y=vi(sin)t - 1/2gt2
vyf=vi(sin) - gt
vyf2=vi2(sin)2 - 2gy
Derived: Vi = gDx/2sin  cos 
