Example 1: Displacement
In Fig., the position vector for a
particle is initially at
r1 to r2 ?
Position and Displacement
A rabbit runs across a parking lot. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position
as functions of time t (second) are given by
Please define:
a) The rabbit position at t=5 in unit-vector notation
b) The rabbit position angle at t=5 from r0=(0,0)
c) The displacement
Average and Instantaneous Velocity
Average Velocity
If a particle moves through a displacement in a time interval t, then
its average velocity is
or
Instantaneous Velocity
The instantaneous velocity is a velocity value that approaches in the limit as we
shrink the time interval ∆t to 0 about that instant. Using the language of calculus,
we may write as the derivative
A rabbit runs across a parking lot. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position
as functions of time t (second) are given by
Average Acceleration
When a particle’s velocity changes in a time interval ∆t, its average
acceleration during ∆t is
or
Instantaneous Acceleration
If we shrink ∆t to zero, then the instantaneous acceleration at that instant is
or
Average and Instantaneous Acceleration
A rabbit runs across a parking lot. The coordinates of the rabbit’s position
as functions of time t (second) are given by
A particle moves in
a vertical plane
with some initial
velocity but its
acceleration is
always the free-fall
acceleration g,
which is downward.
Such a particle is
called a projectile
and its motion is
called projectile
motion.
Projectile Motion
One ball is released from rest at the same instant that another
ball is shot horizontally to the right
By Galileo
Projectile Motion
a) Ignore air resistance and find the maximum height H that the ball attains.
b) Determine the time of flight between kickoff and landing.
c) Calculate the range R of the projectile
Relative Motion in One Dimension
The coordinate x PA = x PB + x BA
The velocity v PA = v PB +v BA
The acceleration a xPA = a xPB +a xBA
Relative Motion in Two Dimensions
The coordinate r PA = r PB +r BA
The velocity v PA = v PB +v BA
The acceleration a PA = a PB + a BA
Relative Motion in Two Dimensions
An airplane’s compass
indicates that it is headed
due north, and its
airspeed indicator shows
that it is moving through
the air at 240 km/h. If
there is a 100-km/h wind
from west to east, what is
the velocity of the
airplane relative to the
earth?
