Study Notes

Units and Conversions

  • The mass of a sugar grain is 5 milligrams, which equals 5 × 10⁻³ grams.
  • Area conversion example: A park with an area of 12.3 km² equals 1.23 × 10⁶ m².

Types of Motion

  • Full-projectile motion begins before the peak of the trajectory and consists of various motion types.
  • Sarah observes projectile motion as an object is thrown upwards and then falls back due to gravity.
  • Horizontal acceleration of a projectile remains constant throughout its motion.
  • Vertical acceleration of a projectile remains constant at approximately -9.8 m/s² due to gravity.

Velocity Components

  • The horizontal component of an object's velocity launched at 20 m/s and 30 degrees is approximately 17.32 m/s.
  • The vertical velocity component after 3 seconds of an object launched with 20 m/s at 30 degrees is -19.4 m/s.

Projectile Challenges

  • An object projected vertically with an initial velocity of 9 m/s reaches a final vertical velocity of -30.2 m/s after 4 seconds.

Trigonometry in Motion

  • To calculate angle θ in a triangle, use the expression θ = cos⁻¹(6/10) or θ = tan⁻¹(10/6) depending on the known sides.

Vector and Scalar Quantities

  • Vector quantities include forces (e.g., wind force), while scalar quantities include volume, speed, and population.

Displacement Calculations

  • A hiker’s total displacement after walking 2.00 km south then east is 2.40 km with a direction of 34° east of south, calculated using cosine law.

Time to Maximum Height

  • A projectile launched with an initial velocity of 40 m/s at 30 degrees takes 2 seconds to reach maximum height.

Distance and Acceleration

  • A motorcycle accelerating from rest at 3.0 m/s² will travel 150 meters in 10 seconds, calculated using the formula d = ½ at².
