1 Motion in a and 3 dimensions Ch 4 HRW Motion in a plane D Motion in space 3D Projectile motion Position and Displacement Vectors A position vector r extends from a reference point (usually the origin O) to particle. r xi yj zk r 3ij5 k m If there is a change in the position vector from r to r 1 then the particle s displacement is r r r r r i r r j r r k 1 x 1x y 1y z 1z rir j rk x y z P Go through Sample Problem p59. 1

2 Average and Instantaneous Velocity Following the same approach as in Ch we define average velocity: displacement average velocity = time r ri x ry jrk z vavg t t r r x y rz i j k t t t t t + Δt When speaking of velocity we usually mean the instantaneous velocity given by: dr v dt Direction of is always tangent (gradient)to the particles path. v 3 Average and Instantaneous Velocity When speaking of velocity we usually mean the instantaneous velocity given by: dr d xi yjzk v dt dt dx dy dz i j k dt dt dt viv j vk x y z Direction of v is always tangent to the particles path. Scalar components: vx dx v dy dz y vz dt dt dt Go through Sample problem p6 4

3 Checkpoint 1 The figure shows a circular path taken by a particle. If the instantaneous velocity of the particle is m/s m/s through which quadrant is the particle moving at that instant if it is travelling (a) clockwise and (b) counterclockwise around the circle? For both cases, draw on the figure. v i j 5 Average and Instantaneous Acceleration When a particle s velocity changes in a time interval Dt the average acceleration is: As previously discussed the instantaneous acceleration is then: dv d a v xi vy jvzk dt dt dv dv x y dvz i j k dt dt dt aia j ak Scalar components: change in velocity average acceleration = time interval v v1 v aavg t t x y z dv dv x y dvz ax ay az dt dt dt 6 3

Is the acceleration constant? 7 Problem A particle with velocity v.0i 4.0 j(in meters per second) at t = 0 undergoes a constant acceleration a magnitude a = 3.0 m/s at an angle q =130 from the positive direction of the x axis. What is the particle s velocity v at t = 5 s? What do we know? a = 3.0 m/s at an angle q=130 to x axis of 8 4

5 Projectile Motion Special case: -D motion Projectile motion: particle moves in a vertical plane with an initial velocity v 0 but acceleration is always the freefall of gravity a g 9.8 m/s Assume no air resistance Path is shown Initial launch velocity 9 0y 0 Projectile motion v 0 v0xi v0y j g v0x v0cos v v sin Position vector and velocity vector change continuously. Acceleration is ALWAYS constant directed downwards NO horizontal acceleration. The horizontal motion is independent of the vertical motion. Solve the two dimensions separately. 10 5

8 Problem A rifle with a muzzle velocity v 0 = 450 m/s shoots a bullet at a target 50 m away. How high above the target must the barrel be pointed? Assume the muzzle and the target are at the same height. Given: v 0 = 450 m/s R = 50 m g = 9.8 m/s 15 Problem At time t = 0 a golf ball is shot from ground level into the air, as shown in the fig. The angle q between the balls direction of travel and the positive x axis is given as a function of time t. The ball lands at t = 6.00 s. What is the magnitude v 0 of the ball s launch velocity? At what height (y-y 0 ) above the launch level does the ball land? What is the balls direction of travel just before it lands? 16 8

9 Uniform Circular Motion A particle is in uniform circular motion if: It travels in a circular arc At a constant speed. Although speed is constant, there is acceleration Velocity is changing direction Velocity is directed tangent to the circle Acceleration is directed to centre of the circle centripetal acceleration.

When the object is at x = -m, its velocity is (4m/s) ĵ. Give the object s (a) velocity and (b) acceleration at y = m. 0 10

11 Problem A satellite is at an altitude h = 00 km above the earth (g = 9. m.s ). Determine the satellite s velocity and its period. The earth s radius is m. 1 Relative Motion 1-D Suppose you watch a passenger on a bus travelling east at 40 km/h. To a passenger on another bus, travelling next to the first at the same velocity, the first passenger seems to be stationary. Velocity of particle depends on reference frame of the observer. Reference frame is a physical object to which we attach coordinate system. 11

12 Relative Motion 1-D Suppose Alex is parked at side of road watching car P. Bob also watches car P from his car as he moves along the road at constant speed. If both Alex and Bob measure the position of car P at the same time: xpa xpb xba Determining the velocities (derivative): dxpa dxpb dxba dt dt dt v v v PA PB BA Velocity components: The velocity of P as measured by A =the velocity of P as measured by B plus the velocity of B as measured by A. 3 Relative Motion 1-D Determine acceleration: dvpa dvpb dvba dt dt dt a a a a 0 PA PB BA PB Observers on different frames of reference that move at constant velocity relative to each other will measure the same acceleration for a moving particle. 4 1

13 Sample Problem p74 Suppose that Bob s velocity relative to Alex is a constant v BA = 5 km/h and car P is moving in the negative direction of the x axis. (a) If Alex measures a constant v PA = -78 km/h for car P, what velocity v PB will Bob measure? (b) If car P brakes to stop relative to Alex in time t = 10 s at constant acceleration, what is its acceleration a PA relative to Alex? (c) What is the acceleration a PB of car P relative to Bob during braking? 5 Relative Motion -D Two observers watch a particle P from the origins of their reference frames A and B B moves at a constant velocity v BA relative to A. At a particular instant: rpa rpb rba vpa vpb vba a a a a 0 PA PB BA PB 6 13

14 Sample Problem p75 A plane moves due E while the pilot points the plane somewhat S of E, toward a steady wind that blows to the NE.
