Study Notes
Vector Magnitude and Direction
- Resultant vector R has a magnitude of 37 m/s, calculated as ( R = \sqrt{vr^2 + vw^2} = \sqrt{35^2 + 12^2} ).
- The angle θ formed with the vertical is approximately 19°, calculated using ( \tan θ = \frac{vw}{vr} = \frac{12}{35} ).
- Umbrella should be held at approximately 19° with the vertical towards the east to account for wind.
Vector Resolution
- A vector can be resolved into two component vectors along designated directions, labeled as λa and μb.
- Unit vectors (magnitude of one) are often used for vector resolution in a rectangular coordinate system for simplicity.
- General vector A can be expressed as ( A = Ax \hat{i} + Ay \hat{j} ), where:
- Ax = A cos(θ)
- Ay = A sin(θ)
Position Vector and Displacement
- Position vector ( r ) of a particle in a plane is defined as ( r = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} ).
- Displacement ( Δr ) is determined by the difference between two position vectors, ( Δr = r' - r ).
Velocity and Average Velocity
- Instantaneous velocity ( v ) is defined as the limit of average velocity as the time interval approaches zero: ( v = \lim_{Δt \to 0} \frac{Δr}{Δt} ).
- Average velocity is represented as the direction of the tangent to the path at any point.
Vector Addition
- For vectors A and B in the x-y plane, their sum R can be expressed as ( R = R_x \hat{i} + R_y \hat{j} ), where:
- ( R_x = A_x + B_x )
- ( R_y = A_y + B_y )
Displacement and Average Speed
- The average speed of an object is defined as total distance divided by total time taken.
- Net displacement occurs when an object returns to its starting point regardless of the path taken.
Applications
- Motion analysis for a cyclist in a circular path, with calculations for net displacement, average speed, and average velocity.
- Situational problems involving a cab ride compared to direct distance highlight differences in average speed versus velocity.
- The maximum horizontal distance for trajectories considering height restrictions can be calculated based on speed and flight time.
Circular Motion
- For projectile motions and circular motion, acceleration can be deduced from radius and rotational speed considerations.
- Examples include calculating the maximum height a ball can reach based on its throw distance and the characteristics of circular motion of an aircraft.
