Describing motion with vectors • Positions and displacements Ds = sF - sI • Velocities and changes in velocity: vav= Ds/Dt vinst= limDt->0Ds/Dt Dv = vF - vI • aav= Dv/Dt ainst= limDt->0Dv/Dt
2D Motion Note: component of position vector along x direction is the x coordinate! y s – vector position s=xi+yj v=vxi+vyj x
2D Motion in components • x and y motions decouple • vx=Dx/Dt; vy=Dy/Dt • ax=Dvx/Dt; ay=Dvy/Dt • If acceleration is only non-zero in 1 direction – can choose coordinates so that 1 component of accel. is zero • Eg . motion under gravity
Simplest case • 2D motion with constant acceleration • Describes motion of ball under gravity (close to surface of Earth) • i.e x and y components of position vector satisfy const accel. equations …

Ball A is released from rest. Another identical ball (ball B) is thrown horizontally at the same time and from the same height. Which ball will reach the ground first? 1. Ball A 2. Ball B 3. Both balls reach the ground at the same time. 4. The answer depends on the initial speed of ball B.
A ball is thrown vertically upward from a cart at rest. The ball goes up, reaches its highest point and returns to the cart. In a second experiment, the cart is moving at constant velocity and the ball is thrown in the same way, where will the ball land? 1. In front of the cart. 2. Behind the cart. 3. Inside the cart. 4. The outcome depends on the speed of the cart.
Projectile motion R : when is y=0 ? t(vy1-1/2gt)=0 => hmax (y eqn) i.e T=2vsinq/g => R (x eqn.)
A battleship simultaneously fires two shells at enemy ships. If the shells follow the parabolic trajectories shown, which ship will be hit first? 1. A 2. Both at the same time 3. B 4. need more information
Motion on a curved pathat constant speed Is the acceleration of the object equal to zero?
Velocity is tangent to path Ds sI sF O v = Ds/Dt lies along dotted line. As Dt0 direction of v is tangent to path
Another way to add vectors vF+(-vI)=Dv Dv vI vF same as -vI vF Dv
For an object moving at constant speed along a curved path, the acceleration is not zero.
For which of the following motions of a car does the change in velocity vector have the greatest magnitude? (All motions occur at the same constant speed.) 1. A 90° right turn at constant speed 2. A U-turn at constant speed 3. A 270° turn on a highway on-ramp 4. The change in velocity is zero for all three motions.
1. A 90° right turn at constant speed 2. A U-turn at constant speed 3. A 270° turn on a highway on-ramp
