Motion in a Plane

Chapter 3


Motion in a Plane

• Vector Addition

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Projectile motion


Graphical Addition and Subtraction of Vectors

A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction. Position is an example of a vector quantity.

A scalar is a quantity with no direction. The mass of an object is an example of a scalar quantity.


Notation

Vector: FF

or

The magnitude of a vector: .or or FF

F

Scalar: m (not bold face; no arrow)

The direction of vector might be “35 south of east”; “20 above the +x-axis”; or….


To add vectors graphically they must be placed “tip to tail”. The result (F1 + F2) points from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector.

This is sometimes called the resultant vector R

Types of Vectors


Relative Displacement Vectors

C = A + B

C - A = B

Vector Addition

Vector Subtraction

B

is a relative displacement vector of point P3 relative to P2


Vector Addition via Parallelogram


Graphical Method of Vector Addition


Think of vector subtraction A B as A+(B), where the vector B has the same magnitude as B but points in the opposite direction.

Graphical Subtraction of Vectors

Vectors may be moved any way you please (to place them tip to tail) provided that you do not change their length nor rotate them.

Motion in a Plane with Constant Acceleration - Projectile

What is the motion of a struck baseball? Once it leaves the bat (if air resistance is negligible) only the force of gravity acts on the baseball.

Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value near the surface of the earth. We call it g = 9.8 m/s2

Only the vertical motion is affected by gravity


The baseball has ax = 0 and ay = g, it moves with constant

velocity along the x-axis and with a changing velocity along the y-

axis.

Projectile Motion


Example: An object is projected from the origin. The initial velocity components are vix = 7.07 m/s, and viy = 7.07 m/s.

Determine the x and y position of the object at 0.2 second intervals for 1.4 seconds. Also plot the results.

1Δy = y - y = v Δt + a Δt

2Δx = x - x = v Δt

Since the object starts from the origin, y and x will represent the location of the object at time t.
