1 CHAPTER 3 VECTOR quantities: Two-imensional Motion and Vectors Vectors ave magnitude and direction. (x, y) Representations: y (x, y) (r, ) x Oter vectors: velocity, acceleration, momentum, force Vector Addition/Subtraction Vector Components 2nd vector begins at end of first vector Order doesn t matter Vector addition Cartesian components are projections along te x- and y-axes A x = Acos A y = Asin Vector subtraction A B can be interpreted as A+(-B) Going backwards, A = A x 2 + A y 2 and = tan "1 A y A x Example 3.1a Example 3.1b Te magnitude of (A-B) is : b) =0 Te x-component of (A-B) is: b) =0

Alice carries te bottle 5 miles due east, and Bob carries te bottle anoter 10 miles traveling 30 degrees nort of east. Carol, wo is bringing te glasses, takes a sort cut and goes directly to te picnic site. b) =0 How far did Carol walk? Wat was Carol s direction? Carol miles, at degrees Alice Bob Arcsin, Arccos and Arctan: Watc out v = "r / "t 2-dim Motion: Velocity same sine same cosine same tangent It is a vector (rate of cange of position) Grapically, Trajectory Arcsin, Arccos and Arctan functions can yield wrong angles if x or y are negative. Multiplying/ividing Vectors by Scalars, e.g. "r/"t Vector multiplied/divided by scalar is a vector Magnitude of new vector is magnitude of orginal vector multiplied/divided by scalar irection of new vector same as original vector Principles of 2-d Motion X- and Y-motion are independent Two separate 1-d problems To get trajectory (y vs. x) 1. Solve for x(t) and y(t) 2. Invert one Eq. to get t(x) 3. Insert t(x) into y(t) to get y(x)

Projectile Motion Projectile Motion X-motion is at constant velocity a x =0, v x =constant Acceleration is constant Y-motion is at constant acceleration a y =-g Note:

Invert x(t) to find t(x) t = x /,x Finding Trajectory, y(x) 4. Insert t(x) into y(t) to get y(x) y =,y x 1 g x 2 2,x 2,x Trajectory is parabolic Example 3.

Acceleration is independent of reference frame For ig v ~c, rules are more complicated (Einstein) Example 3.8 Relative velocity in 2-d A plane tat is capable of traveling 200 m.p.. flies 100 miles into a 50 m.p.. wind, ten flies back wit a 50 m.p.. tail wind.
