Study Notes

Vector Components

  • A vector is a Latin word that means "carrier", carrying a point A to point B.

Vector Applications

  • In a car, if there is no slipping between the wheels and the road, the arc length moved by a marker on the outermost radius of the wheel is equal to the distance traveled by the car.
  • In this case, the distance traveled by the car is 120m.

Sinusoidal Oscillations

  • A body can be set into oscillation by initially stretching a spring a certain distance (x= xo) and then releasing it at t=0.
  • The body may undergo sinusoidal oscillations, which can be described by a function such as Eq. 3.9.
