1 Circles and Projectiles

2 1 - Motion in Two Dimensions 2 - Circular Motion 3 - Centripetal Force, Gravity, and Orbits 4 - Center of Mass

3 Review of Vectors Vectors have magnitude (length) and direction Without direction, the magnitude is called a scalar value Speed vs. Velocity

4 Motion is broken into two separate velocity vectors X Y The combination of X and Y gives you the object’s path, or TRAJECTORY

5 What factors determine where the ball goes? Angle of release Speed Determine TRAJECTORY

6 Watch how accurate Drew Brees is.

12 45° will give you the best distance.

13 Definitions Axis – the line that an object turns around Rotation – when the axis is inside the object Revolution – when the axis is external Rotates Revolves

14 Angular Speed is the number of spins in an amount of time Usually revolutions per second

15 Two people sitting at different places on the same merry-go- round have the same angular speed, but the person sitting farther from the center has the faster linear speed

18 Centripetal Force Any force that causes an object to move in a circle Always perpendicular to the direction of motion Always toward the center of the circle

19 The object wants to continue in a straight line because of its inertia. Its only because of whatever is creating the centripetal force (a string, rubber band, etc.) that the object moves in a circle.

23 Determine the net force acting on it. F net = ma F net = (4kg)(112.5 m/s 2 ) F net = 450N

25 Not a real force Caused by inertia The force you feel when your body is moved in a circle

26 The point around which an object naturally spins

27 For an object to stay upright, its center of mass must be above its area of support.

28 Reliant Robin three wheeled car. Because it has three wheels and weighs less than 450 kg, it is taxed and licensed as a motorcycle. Most three wheeled cars have the single wheel in the back. This one has it in the front.
