1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MOTION IN SPACE

Motion is defined as a change in body’s position compared to its surrounding environment over a
specific time interval. When an object ‘s location changes over time with reference to a fixed
frame, it is said to be in motion. Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at
rest or continue to move at a constant pace unless an external force is applied to the item, which
will disrupt the system's equilibrium. Motion of an object including its velocity, speed and
acceleration along a space curve. When a particle moves through space, its position vector at
time t equals r(t). The velocity vector v(t) at time t is given by:
' ds
v ( t )=r ( t ) = =rate of change of distance with respect ¿ time
dt
The speed of the particle is the magnitude of the velocity vector at time. t, || v(t)||. The derivative
of the velocity is defined as an acceleration of the particle, a(t).
a ( t )=v ' ( t )=r ' '( t)
1.2 PROJECTILE MOTION
A projectile is an object that is released into the air and moves along its trajectory. The object only
experiences gravity after being launched by the first force. Since the force due to gravity acts
downward, we have
F=ma=−mg j, g=|a|≈ 9.8 m/s

2
Thus a=−g j
Since v’(t) = a, we can have v ( t )=−g j+C
Where C = v (0) = v 0. Therefore,
'
r ( t ) =v ( t ) =−g j+v 0
−1 2
Integrating v(t), we will obtain r ( t )= g t j+t v 0+ D
2
But D = r (0) = 0, so the position vector of the projectile is given by:

−1 2
r ( t )= g t j+t v 0 . If we assume || v 0∨¿=v 0then,
2
v 0=v 0 cos α i+ ¿ v 0 sin α j ¿
We will substitute into the r(t) and will get this equation:
r ( t )=¿
The parametric equations of the trajectory are:
x=¿

2.0 CASE STUDY
2.1 CASE STUDY I
First and foremost, this study is about motion in space in a cricket game. I am a cricket player,
and if I understood the idea of motion in space, I will be able to use my understanding to win a
game. The first situation is about the fielder who want to throw the cricket ball to the wicket
keeper. What is the velocity, acceleration and speed of the cricket ball with position vector
r ( t )=¿ t , t 2 , 2>¿
Velocity, v(t) = r ' ( t ) =¿ 1, 2 t , 0>¿ z
Acceleration, a(t)= v’(t) = r” (t) ¿< 0 ,2 , 0>¿ a (1)
Speed = ||v(t)|| =√ 1+22+ 02 (1,1,2) v (1)
When t = 1,
v (1) = < 1, 2 ,0 >, a (1) = < 0, 2, 0 >, ||v (1) || = 5 y

2.2 CASE STUDY II
Bowlers in cricket play an important role in the game. Bowler target is launching the ball towards
the wicket defended by a batsman. When bowler started to bowl, the vector position of the ball is
given by r(t) = ¿ t 2 , 5 t , t 2−16 t>¿ . When is the speed a minimum?
Velocity, v(t)¿<2 t ,5 , 2t−16 >¿ , the speed equals to ||v||.
Find magnitude of velocity, ||v||:
||v||=√(2 t )2+(5)2 +(2−16)2

¿ √ 4 t 2 +25+ 4 t 2 −64 t + 256
Let f ( t )=8t 2−64 t+281
f ' ( t )=16 t−64 since speed is minimum, thus

'
f ( t )=0=16 t−64
64=16 t
t=4
=The speed is minimum when t=4

CASE STUDY 2.3
A batsman will hit a ball to get a run. In this situation the ball leaves the bat with initial speed
150m/s and angle of elevation 45° from 10 m above ground level. Where does the ball hit the
ground?
2
v 0=150 , α =45 ° , h=10 m , g=9.8 m/s
Substitute all the information given into the equation:
x=¿ y=h+¿
1
y=10+ 150sin ( 45 ° ) t− ( 9.8 ) t =10+75 √ 2t−4.9t
2 2
x=150 cos 45° t=75 √ 2t
2
The impact occurs when y=0, therefore
10+75 √ 2t−4.9 t =0
2
Using quadratic equation, find t,

t ≈ 21.74
Substitute value of t in the x equation
x=75 √ 2 ( 21.74 )
x ≈ 2305.88
=The cricket ball hits the ground about 2305.88 m away.

1.2 PROJECTILE MOTION

F=ma=−mg j, g=|a|≈ 9.8 m/s

Since v’(t) = a, we can have v ( t )=−g j+C

Where C = v (0) = v 0. Therefore,

But D = r (0) = 0, so the position vector of the projectile is given by:

v 0=v 0 cos α i+ ¿ v 0 sin α j ¿

The parametric equations of the trajectory are:

2.1 CASE STUDY I

Velocity, v(t) = r ' ( t ) =¿ 1, 2 t , 0>¿ z

Acceleration, a(t)= v’(t) = r” (t) ¿< 0 ,2 , 0>¿ a (1)

Speed = ||v(t)|| =√ 1+22+ 02 (1,1,2) v (1)

v (1) = < 1, 2 ,0 >, a (1) = < 0, 2, 0 >, ||v (1) || = 5 y

Velocity, v(t)¿<2 t ,5 , 2t−16 >¿ , the speed equals to ||v||.

Find magnitude of velocity, ||v||:

||v||=√(2 t )2+(5)2 +(2−16)2

f ' ( t )=16 t−64 since speed is minimum, thus

Using quadratic equation, find t,
