1. Curved Paths ballistics and circles §3.3–3.4

2. Poll Question Predict: Which ball will land sooner? A.The ball launched horizontally. B.The ball dropped vertically. C.Both will land at the same time. D.It depends on the launch speed.

3. Ballistic Trajectories Acceleration a = g = 9.8 m/s 2 downward –|a vertical | = 9.8 m/s 2 –|a horizontal | = 0 Vertical and horizontal motion are independent and can be treated separately

4. Ballistic Trajectories Flight time t is determined by  y and v 0y   y = v 0y t – 1/2 gt 2 (for up = +y) Horizontal range is v x t Components of velocity v x and v y  For  = angle above horizontal of velocity v  v x = v cos(  ); v y = v sin(  ) vyvy vxvx v 

5. Uniform Circular Motion Speed is constant, direction isn’t

6. Poll Question The direction of the acceleration of an object moving at constant speed in a circular path is A.in the direction of its motion. B.opposite the direction of its motion. C.toward the center of its circular path. D.away from the center of its circular path. E.a zero vector has no direction.

7. Poll Question Two balls with the same speed contact different semicircular guides. Which accelerates the most in the curve? A. Ball A. B. Ball B. C. It’s a tie. D. Need more information. A B

8. Poll Question A and B stand the on edge of identical carousels. B has a greater tangential speed. Which accelerates the most? A. B. C. It’s a tie. D. Need more information. AB B’s greater velocity reverses more often.

9. Poll Question Points A and B are different distances from the center of a rotating disk. Which accelerates the most? A. B. C. It’s a tie. D. Need more information. A has a greater velocity change in the same time. A B
