Review: The direction of a vector is often expressed as a counter-clockwise (CCW) angle of rotation of that vector from due east (i.e., the horizontal). In such a convention, East is 0°, North is 90°, West is 180° and South is 270°. About Vector Components: A vector directed at 120° CCW has a direction which is a little west and a little more north. Such a vector is said to have a northward and a westward component. A component is simply the effect of the vector in a given direction. A hiker with a 120° displacement vector is displaced both northward and westward; there are two separate effects of such a displacement upon the hiker. 1.

Vectors and Projectiles: sublevel 6 (and maybe sublevel 5)
Planes fly in a medium of moving air (winds), providing an example of relative motion. If the speedometer reads 100 mi/hr, then the plane moves 100 mi/hr relative to the air. But since the air is moving, the plane's speed relative to the ground will be different than 100 mi/hr. Suppose a plane with a 100 mi/hr air speed encounters a tail wind, a head wind and a side wind. Determine the resulting velocity (magnitude and CCW direction) of the plane for each situation.

The situation of a plane moving in the medium of moving air is similar to a motorboat moving in the medium of moving water. In a river, a boat moves relative to the water and the water moves relative to the shore. The result is that the resultant velocity of the boat is different than the boat's speedometer reading, thanks to the movement of the water that the boat is in. In the diagram below, a top view of a river is shown. A boat starts on the west side (left side) of the river and heads a variety of directions to get to the other side. The river flows south (down). Match the boat headings and boat speeds to the indicated destinations. Use each letter once.
3.
A pilot wishes to fly due North from the Benthere Airport to the Donthat Airport. The wind is blowing out of the Southwest at 30 mi/hr. The small plane averages a velocity of 180 mi/hr. What heading should the pilot take? Use a sketch to help solve.

b. If the river is 71.0 m wide, then determine the time required for the boat to cross the river.
c. Determine the distance that the boat will travel downstream.
5.
Suppose that the boat attempts this same task of crossing the river (5.1 m/s with respect to the water) on a day in which the river current is greater, moving at 4.7 m/s with respect to the shore. Determine the same three quantities - (a) resultant velocity, (b) time to cross the river, and (c) distance downstream.
6.
For a boat heading straight across a river, does the speed at which the river flows effect the time required for the boat to cross the river? ________ Explain your answer.
7.
Repeat the same three riverboat calculations for the following two sets of given quantities. Velocity of boat (w.r.t. water) = 3.2 m/s, East Velocity of river (w.r.t. shore) = 4.4 m/s, South Width of river = 127 m

Fill in the table indicating the value of the horizontal and vertical components of velocity for the projectile during the course of its motion.
Key Concepts: A projectile is an object that has the following characteristics. • The only force acting on it is a gravitational force; it is a free-falling object. • The acceleration is directed downwards and has a value of 9.8 m/s2. • Once projected, it continues its horizontal motion without any need of a force. • As it rises, its vertical velocity (vy) decreases; as it falls, its vy increases. • As it travels through the air, its horizontal velocity remains constant.

The Equations: Kinematic equations used for 1-dimensional motion can be used for projectile motion as well. The key to their use is to that perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other. As such, the equations for one dimension must be applied to either the horizontal motion of a projectile or the vertical motion of a projectile. When using the equations to analyze projectile motion, one assumes negligible air resistance and an acceleration of gravity of 9.8 m/s2 , down(-).

Review: The direction of a vector is often expressed as a counter-clockwise (CCW) angle of rotation of that vector from due east (i.e., the horizontal). In such a convention, East is 0°, North is 90°, West is 180° and South is 270°. About Vector Components: A vector directed at 120° CCW has a direction which is a little west and a little more north. Such a vector is said to have a northward and a westward component. A component is simply the effect of the vector in a given direction. A hiker with a 120° displacement vector is displaced both northward and westward; there are two separate effects of such a displacement upon the hiker. 1.

Planes fly in a medium of moving air (winds), providing an example of relative motion. If the speedometer reads 100 mi/hr, then the plane moves 100 mi/hr relative to the air. But since the air is moving, the plane's speed relative to the ground will be different than 100 mi/hr. Suppose a plane with a 100 mi/hr air speed encounters a tail wind, a head wind and a side wind. Determine the resulting velocity (magnitude and CCW direction) of the plane for each situation.

The situation of a plane moving in the medium of moving air is similar to a motorboat moving in the medium of moving water. In a river, a boat moves relative to the water and the water moves relative to the shore. The result is that the resultant velocity of the boat is different than the boat's speedometer reading, thanks to the movement of the water that the boat is in. In the diagram below, a top view of a river is shown. A boat starts on the west side (left side) of the river and heads a variety of directions to get to the other side. The river flows south (down). Match the boat headings and boat speeds to the indicated destinations. Use each letter once.

A pilot wishes to fly due North from the Benthere Airport to the Donthat Airport. The wind is blowing out of the Southwest at 30 mi/hr. The small plane averages a velocity of 180 mi/hr. What heading should the pilot take? Use a sketch to help solve.

Fill in the table indicating the value of the horizontal and vertical components of velocity for the projectile during the course of its motion.
Key Concepts: A projectile is an object that has the following characteristics. • The only force acting on it is a gravitational force; it is a free-falling object. • The acceleration is directed downwards and has a value of 9.8 m/s2. • Once projected, it continues its horizontal motion without any need of a force. • As it rises, its vertical velocity (vy) decreases; as it falls, its vy increases. • As it travels through the air, its horizontal velocity remains constant.

The Equations: Kinematic equations used for 1-dimensional motion can be used for projectile motion as well. The key to their use is to that perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other. As such, the equations for one dimension must be applied to either the horizontal motion of a projectile or the vertical motion of a projectile. When using the equations to analyze projectile motion, one assumes negligible air resistance and an acceleration of gravity of 9.8 m/s2 , down(-). Thus, ax = 0 m/s/s and ay = -9.8 m/s/s. 1 d = vo•t + 2 •a•t2
