2-D motion

2-D motion. Scalars and Vectors. A scalar is a single number that represents a magnitude Ex. distance, mass, speed, temperature, etc. A vector is a set of numbers that describe both a magnitude and direction Ex. velocity (the magnitude of velocity is speed), force, momentum, etc.

  1. 2-D motion

  2. Scalars and Vectors • A scalar is a single number that represents a magnitude • Ex. distance, mass, speed, temperature, etc. • A vector is a set of numbers that describe both a magnitude and direction • Ex.velocity (the magnitude of velocity is speed), force, momentum, etc.

  3. Scalars and Vectors • Notation: • a vector-valued variable will be Bold, • a scalar-valued variable will be in italics. • if hand written vectors can be denoted by an arrow over the value.

  4. Characteristics of Vectors A Vector is something that has two and only two defining characteristics: • Magnitude: the 'size' or 'quantity' • Direction: the vector is directed from one place to another.

  5. Vectors can be drawn • A point at the beginning and an arrow at the end. • The length of the arrow corresponds to the magnitude of the vector. • The direction the arrow points is the vector direction. • Vectors are drawn to scale!!

  6. Example • The directionof the vector is 55° North of East • The magnitude of the vector is 2.3.

  7. Now You Try • Direction: • Magnitude: 47° North of West 2

  8. Try Again • Direction: • Magnitude: 43° East of South 3

  9. Try Again It is also possible to describe this vector's direction as 47 South of East. Why?

  10. Reading directions • There are two ways of reading a vector’s direction. • By comparing to a cardinal direction • By easting convention

  11. By comparison • expressed as an angle of rotation of the vector about its tail • Ex. 40 degrees North of West • (a vector pointing West has been rotated 40 degrees towards the northerly direction) • Ex. 65 degrees East of South • (a vector pointing South has been rotated 65 degrees towards the easterly direction)

  12. Easting Convention • a counterclockwise angle of rotation of the vector about its tail from due East. • Ex. 30 degrees, 240 degrees

  13. Vector addition • There are two ways of adding vectors • graphically • Analytically • Resultant - the vector sum of two or more vectors. It is the result of adding two or more vectors together.

  14. Graphic Addition Head-to-Tail Method 1.Draw the first vector with the proper length and orientation. 2.Draw the second vector with the proper length and orientation originating from the head of the first vector. 3.The resultant vector is the vector originating at the tail of the first vector and terminating at the head of the second vector. 4. Measure the length and orientation angle of the resultant.

  15. Graphic Addition • Ex. 20 m, 45 deg. + 25 m, 300 deg. + 15 m, 210 deg.SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m

  16. Graphic Addition • Ex. 20 m, 45 deg. + 25 m, 300 deg. + 15 m, 210 deg.SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m

  17. Graphic Addition • The order of addition doesn’t matter. The resultant will still have the same magnitude and direction.

  18. Analytically Addition Pythagorean Theorem • This works only if the two vectors are at a right angle.

  19. Analytically Addition Pythagorean Theorem • Ex. Eric leaves the base camp and hikes 11 km, north and then hikes 11 km east. Determine Eric's resulting displacement.

  20. Analytically Addition Pythagorean Theorem • Practice A: 10km North plus 5 km West. What is the resultant vector? • Practice B: 30km West plus 40km South. What is the resultant vector?

  21. Analytically Addition Trigonometry: Let’s try these together • Back to Practice A and Practice B • Practice A: 10km North plus 5 km West. What is the resultant vector? • Practice B: 30km West plus 40km South. What is the resultant vector? • Remember: SOH CAH TOA

  25. Analytically Addition Try this… • Remember: SOH CAH TOA • A plane travels from Houston, Texas to Washington D.C., which is 1540km east and 1160Km north of Houston. What is the total displacement of the plane? • Answer: • 1930 km at 37° north of east

  26. Analytically Addition Try this… • Remember: SOH CAH TOA • A camper travels 4.5km northeast and 4.5km northwest. What is the camper’s total displacement? • Answer: • 6.4km north

  28. Resolving Vectors/Expressing Vectors as Ordered Pairs How can we express this vector as an ordered pair? Use Trigonometry These ordered pairs are called the components of the vector.

  34. Resolving Vectors • What if the vectors aren’t at right angles? • Resolving a vector is breaking it down into its x and y components. • First, we need a vector.

What are the horizontal and vertical components? • How fast must a car travel to stay beneath an airplane that is moving at 105 km/h at an angle of 33° to the ground (What is the horizontal component?)
