Ana Larrarte PHY 1001 Unit Two – Motion in 2 and 3 Dimensions Mathematical Assignment 1. Identify the vector and scalar quantities from the following list. {Temperature, weight, displacement, velocity, speed, time, mass, acceleration} Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea Identify which quantities are vector and which are scalar. Stock of Data A vector quantity is a quantity with both magnitude and direction. A scalar quantity is a quantity with magnitude but no direction. Solution Vector quantities: Weight, displacement, velocity, acceleration. Scalar quantities: Temperature, speed, time, mass. Sanity Check Sanity Check I used the definition of vector and scalar quantities to identify which quantities were which from the list. 2. A hiker walks along the city streets 4.0 km north, then 3.0 km west. What is the magnitude of the resulting displacement vector? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea The displacement vector is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions of the hiker, regardless of the path taken. Stock of Data Distance walked north: 4.0 km Distance walked west: 3.0 km Solution
Distance walked north dn= 4.0km Distance walked west dw=3.0km Phygagorean theorem Magnitude displacement (4.0km)^2+(3.0)km^2 =16km^2=9km^2 =25km =5.0km Sanity Check The resulting displacement magnitude of 5.0 km 3 From the previous problem, what is the direction of the displacement vector in degrees from North? Round to 2 digits. Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea Find the direction of the displacement vector in degrees from north (4.0 km) Stock of Data Use 0 = tan^-1 (Ay/ Ax) Solution 0 = tan^-1 (3.0 km / 4.0 km) 0 = 36.87° north 4. Proceeding from landmark A, a vehicle moves along city streets 10 km north, then 14.2 km northeast, and finally 2 km south, and arrives at landmark B. What is the distance traveled, and the magnitude of the displacement between the two landmarks? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea Distance traveled and Displacement Stock of Data 10km north then 14.2 northeast 2 km south and back to landmark Solution D=10+14.2+2=26.2km Displacement= 10-2+14.2 sin 45=18.04 Apply Pythagoras theorem x^2=(10.04)^2 + (18.04)
=426.2432 X= square root of 426.2432 = 20.64km Sanity Check The total distance traveled by vehicle is 26.2km The magnitude of the displacement between the 2 landmark is 20.64km 5. From the previous problem, what angle east of north does the displacement vector lie? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea Identify which quantities are vector and which are scalar. Stock of Data A vector quantity is a quantity with both magnitude and direction. A scalar quantity is a quantity with magnitude but no direction. Solution Vector quantities: Weight, displacement, velocity, acceleration. Scalar quantities: Temperature, speed, time, mass. Sanity Check I used the definition of vector and scalar quantities to identify which quantities were which from the list. 6. Calculate the centripetal acceleration (in m/s 2 ) of a car traveling 20 m/s around a curved road with a radius of 10 m. Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object moving in a circular path. Stock of Data

Velocity of the car ( v ) = 20 m/s Radius of the curved road ( r ) = 10 m Solution ac=v^2/r ac= (20m/s)^2/10m ac=400m^2/s^2/10m ac=40m/s^2 Sanity Check the centripetal acceleration of the car is 40m/s^2 7 A hot air balloon travels 60 degrees north of east at 2 km/hr . In 2 hours time how far eastward and northward will the balloon have traveled? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea We can break down the velocity of the hot air balloon into its eastward and northward components using trigonometry Stock of Data Direction of travel: 60 degrees north of east Velocity of the hot air balloon: 2 km/hr Time: 2 hours Solution Ve=2xcos(60) Ve=2x1/2 Ve=1km/hr Vn=2x sin(60) =2xx3/2 =3km/h D=1km/hr x 2h D=2km Dn=3km/hrx2hr =2/3
Sanity CheckThe values obtained seem reasonable as the balloon is traveling at a constant speed in a straight direction for 2 hours. Additionally, the distances traveled align with our expectations based on the given velocity components and time. 8. A rock is launched with an initial velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of its velocity? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea When a projectile is launched at an angle, its initial velocity can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. Stock of Data Initial velocity= 10m/s Launch angle=45 Solution V0x=10x cos(45) =5m/s Sanity Check the horizontal component of the rock's velocity is 5m/s. 9. A rock is launched over level ground with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal. What is the projectile’s time of flight? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea To find the time of flight of a projectile launched at an angle above the horizontal, we can use the kinematic equations of motion. Stock of Data Initial velocity Vo=15.0 Launch angle ( θ )=2- degrees above the horizontal Acceleration due to gravity(g)=9.81m/s^2 Solution V0y=15.0x cos20 =15.0x0.9397 =14.0955 =15.0 x 0.3420 =5.1303 T=5.1303-5.13/-9.81 =10.2603/-9.81
t= 1.043seconds Sanity Check Sanity Check: The calculated time of flight seems reasonable for a projectile launched at an angle above the horizontal with a certain initial velocity. the projectile's time of flight is approximately 1.043 seconds 10. An inflatable life raft is released from an air plane at 500 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 20 m/s in the horizontal direction. How long before the raft strikes the water? How far from the release point does the raft strike the water? Physics-Problem Solving Entries Key Idea analyzing the horizontal and vertical motion of the life raft separately. Stock of Data Initial altitude of the life raft:500m Initial horizontal speed: 20m/s Acceleration due to gravity=9.81 Solution 0=500+0+1/2x 9.81x t^2 250=4.905t^2 T^2= 250/4.905 T^2=51.020 t=51.020 =7.141 x=20x7.141 =142.82 Sanity Check The water approximately 142.82 meters from the release point.
