 What Is It

The activity from the previous section illustrates a 3-dimension motion. To give a
complete description of kinematics, we must explore motion in two and three
dimensions. After all, most objects in our universe do not move in straight lines; rather,
they follow curved paths. Read the lessons below to better understand such motion.

LESSON 3.1: MOTION IN 2-3 DIMENSION

This lesson deals with the complete description of kinematics by exploring motion in
two and three dimensions. After all, most objects in our universe do not move in
straight lines; rather, they follow curved paths.

Position
Position vector 𝐫⃑ specifies position of an object in three dimensions in a given
coordinate system. It is described by three numbers,

̂
𝐫⃑ = 𝐱𝐢̂ + 𝐲𝐣̂ + 𝐳𝐤

One can imagine an arrow connecting the origin with position of object to describe 𝐫⃑.
If the object is in motion, then the position changes with time the position vector
becomes a function of time.

̂
𝐫⃑(𝐭) = (𝐱(𝐭), 𝐲(𝐭), 𝐳(𝐭) = 𝐱(𝐭)𝐢̂ + 𝐲(𝐭)𝐣̂ + 𝐳(𝐭)𝐤

These three functions do depend on the coordinate system, but as was already noted
that the physically measurable quantities should not depend on this choice.

Velocity
Similar to 1D case in 3D we can define average velocity vector as

𝐯⃑⃑𝒂𝒗𝒆 = 𝚫 𝐫⃑ 𝚫 𝐭⃑ = 𝐫⃑(𝒕𝟐 ) − 𝐫⃑(𝒕𝟏 )(𝒕𝟐 − 𝒕𝟏 )

(where⃗∆⃗r is now the displacement vector) and instantaneous velocity vector is

𝐯⃑⃑(𝐭) = 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝚫𝐭 → 𝟎 𝐯⃑⃑𝒂𝒗𝒆 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝚫 𝐭 → 𝟎 𝚫 𝐫⃑ 𝚫𝐭 = 𝒅 𝐫⃑(𝒕)𝒅𝒕

4
Acceleration
Similar to 1D case in 3D we can define average acceleration vector as

⃑⃑𝒂𝒗𝒆 = 𝚫 𝐯⃑⃑ 𝚫𝐭 = 𝐯⃑⃑(𝒕𝟐 ) − 𝐯⃑⃑(𝒕𝟏 )𝒕𝟐 − 𝒕𝟏

𝒂

Example 1: A robotic vehicle, or rover, is exploring the surface of Mars. The stationary
Mars lander is the origin of coordinates, and the surrounding Martian surface lies in
the xy-plane. The rover, which we represent as a point, has x- and y-coordinates that
vary with time:

a) Find the rover’s coordinates and distance from the lander at t = 2.0 s.
b) Find the rover’s displacement and average velocity vectors for the interval t = 0.0
s to t = 2.0 s.
c) Find a general expression for the rover’s instantaneous velocity vector v. Express
v at t = 2.0 s in component form and in terms of magnitude and direction.

Solution: At t = 0.0 s the rover has position vector r 0 and instantaneous velocity vector
v1. Likewise, r 1 and v 1 are the vectors at t = 1.0 s; r2 and v2 are the vectors at t = 2.0
s.
(a) At t = 2.0 s the rover’s coordinates are

The rover’s distance from the origin at this time

is

(b) To find the displacement and average

velocity over the given time interval, we first
express the position vector r as a function of
time
FIGURE 1: Rover’s Position

At t = 0.0 s the position vector r0 is

5
From part (a), the position vector r2 at t = 2.0 s is

The displacement from t = 0.0 s to t = 2.0 s is therefore

During this interval the rover moves 1.0 m in the negative x-direction and 2.2 m in
the positive y-direction. the average velocity over this interval is the displacement
divided by the elapsed time:

The components of this average velocity are vx = -0.50 m/s and vy = 1.1 m/s.

Example 2: Let’s return to the motions of the Mars rover in example 1. (a) Find the
components of the average acceleration for the interval t = 0.0 s to t = 2.0 s. (b) Find
the instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.0 s.

Solution:
a) In the previous example we found out that at t = 0.0 s the velocity components are

and that at t = 2.0 s the components are

Thus the components of average acceleration in the interval t = 0.0 s to t = 2.0 s are

b) Remembering our previous lesson where the derivative of velocity with respect to
time is its acceleration

Hence the instantaneous acceleration vector a at time t is

6
 At t = 2.0 s the components of acceleration and the acceleration vector are

The magnitude of acceleration at this time is

LESSON 3.2: PROJECTILE MOTION

A projectile is any body that is given an initial velocity and then follows a path
determined entirely by the effects of gravitational acceleration and air resistance. A
batted baseball, a thrown football, and a bullet shot from a rifle are all projectiles. The
path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.

TABLE 1: PROJECTILE MOTION COMPONENTS

HORIZONTAL COMPONENTS VERTICAL COMPONENTS
Displacement R = range Y
Velocity Vx = velocity in the x axis Vy = velocity in the y axis
Acceleration Ax = acceleration in the x axis Ay = acceleration in the y axis

b. all horizontal velocity components are equal
c. Y is negative

2. Projectile launched at an angle below the Horizontal

a. all horizontal velocity components are equal

Example 3: A motorcycle stunt rider rides off the edge of a cliff. Just at the edge his
velocity is horizontal, with magnitude 9.0 m/s. Find the motorcycle’s position, distance
from the edge of the cliff 0.50 s after it leaves the edge of the cliff.

8
Solution: He is in projectile motion as
soon as he leaves the edge of the cliff,
which we take to be the origin.
(so x1 = y1 = 0). His initial velocity at
the edge of the cliff is horizontal (that
is, a1 = 0), so its components are
v1x = v1 cosθ1, a1 = 9.0 m/s and
v1y=v1sinθ1 =0.

the motorcycle’s x- and y-coordinates FIGURE 3: Path of the motorcycle stunt

at t = 0.50 s are driver

x = v1xt = (9m/s)(0.5 s) = 4.5m

y = -(1/2)(gt2) = -(1/2)(9.8m/s2)(0.5 s)2 = -1.2m

The negative value of y shows that the motorcycle is below its starting point.

The motorcycle’s distance from the origin at t = 0.50 s is

Example 4: A batter hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat at speed v 1 = 37.0 m/s at
an angle a1 = 53.1°. Find the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its flight,
and its height h at this time.
Solution:

FIGURE 4: Projectile motion for example 4

At the highest point, the vertical velocity vy is zero. Call the time when this happens t1;
then

3
The height h at the highest point is the value of y at time t 1:

Example 5: An object is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an

angle of 25° upward with the horizontal. Finds its maximum height and range.
Approach: The height of the projectile is given by the component y, and it reaches its
maximum value when the component Vy is equal to zero. That is when the projectile
changes from moving upward to moving downward.
Solution: Solve for t.
t = V1 sin(θ) / g = 20 sin(25°) / 9.8 = 0.86 seconds

Find the maximum height by substituting t by 0.86 seconds in the formula for y
maximum height

y = V1sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2
(0.86) = 20 sin(25°)(0.86) - (1/2) (9.8) (0.86) 2 = 3.64 meters

To find the max range we need the time of flight which is the interval of time between
when projectile is launched: t1 and when the projectile touches the ground: t 2. At t = t1
and t = t2, y = 0 (ground). Hence V1 sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2= 0

Solve for t
t(V1 sin(θ) - (1/2) g t) = 0
two solutions
t = t1= 0 and t = t2= 2 V1 sin(θ) / g

Time of flight = t2- t1= 2 (20) sin(θ) / g = 1.72 seconds.

The horizontal range is the horizontal distance given by x at t = t2.

range = x(t2)
= V1 cos(θ) t2= 2 V1 cos(θ) V1 sin(θ) / g = V1 2sin(2θ) / g
= 202 sin (2(25°)) / 9.8 = 31.26 meters

LESSON 3.3: CIRCULAR MOTION

ROTATIONAL MOTION
Rotational motion refers to motion of objects about a fixed axis. It is also called angular
motion or circular motion. An object may experience rotation while also experiencing
linear motion, for example, a football spinning like a top as it arcs through the air when

4
passed, or a wheel rolling down a street. Treatment of objects under both rotational
and linear motion are done separately, though the two types of motion are analogous.

RADIAN AND RPM

As seen in the figure below, a radian is defined by an arc of a circle. The length of the
arc is equal to the radius of the circle. Because of this the radian is a fixed size no
matter what the size of the circle is. When the object turns through an angle θ, the
point moves a distance s along the arc. We define the angle θ in radians as θ = s/r or
s=rθ.

For a full circle, θ is 2π. Thus 2π rad = 360degrees.

An rpm means revolutions per minute (rev/min). One

revolution is equal to 2π rad or 360degrees.

Average angular velocity

Average angular velocity wave of the body in the time interval

is the ratio of the change in the angular coordinate θ divided
by the change in time.

Instantaneous angular velocity,

The instantaneous angular velocity is the angular velocity of a body

in rotation at any one moment of time. It can be seen when change
in time approaches zero at a point.

Angular acceleration, α
refers to the time rate of change of angular velocity.

Average angular acceleration Instantaneous angular acceleration

TANGENTIAL VELOCITY AND CENTRIPETAL ACCELERATION

The object moving in a circle doesn’t have any tangential acceleration which means
that the object is moving with a constant velocity. When the object changes its
tangential velocity’s magnitude and direction, it will result to
tangential acceleration.

Tangential acceleration is a measure of how the tangential velocity

of a point changes with time. Tangential acceleration is just like
linear acceleration. It always acts perpendicular to the centripetal
acceleration of the object moving in a circle.

5
CENTRIPETAL ACCELERATION
Uniform Circular Motion is the motion of the object in a circle with constant speed and
as it moves in the circle it constantly changing in direction tangent to the path of the
circle in any point. As it continuously changes in direction the velocity vector also
changes and experienced acceleration. This acceleration is called as the centripetal
acceleration, which means “center seeking.”

The figure on the right shows the direction of the velocity vector of an
object in uniform circular motion in which, at any point, is
perpendicular to the centripetal force of the object.

TABLE 2: FORMULAS FOR UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION Magnitude unit

formula
vc= vt circumferential velocity = tangent velocity m/s

Ac radial acceleration = acceleration towards the center m/s2

(centripetal acceleration)

At circumferential acceleration = tangent acceleration m/s2

RADIUS OF CURVATURE
The radius of curvature is defined as the radius of the approximate circle at a particular
point. It is the length of the curvature vector. As the curve moves, the radius changes.
It is denoted by r.

𝑚𝑣 2 Where:
𝐹𝑐 = Fc = lateral gripping force m = mass
𝑟
r = radius of curvature v = velocity

We can also express the magnitude of the acceleration in uniform circular motion in
terms of the period T of the motion, the time for one revolution (one complete trip
around the circle). In a time T the so its speed is v = (2πr)/T. Its acceleration, a, then
is = (4π2r)/T2

MOTION WITH CONSTANT ANGULAR ACCELERATION

Angular motion is analogous to linear motion, linear equations may also be applied
using angular quantities:

𝜔 +𝜔 1
1. θ = 1 2 2 𝑡 4. θ = 𝜔2 𝑡 − 2 𝑎𝑡 2
2. 𝜔2 = 𝜔1 + 𝑎𝑡 5. 𝜔2 2 = 𝜔12 + 2𝑎θ
1
3. θ = 𝜔1𝑡 + 2 𝑎𝑡 2

3
Example 6: An Aston Martin V8 Vantage sports car has a “lateral acceleration” of
0.96g = (0.969.8 m/s2) = 9.4 m/s2. This is the maximum centripetal acceleration the
car can sustain without skidding out of a curved path. If the car is traveling at a constant
40 m/s (about 89 mi/h, or 144 km/h) on level ground, what is the radius R of the tightest
unbanked curve it can negotiate?

Solution:

Example 7: Passengers on a carnival ride move at constant speed in a horizontal

circle of radius 5.0 making a complete circle in 4.0 s. What is their acceleration?
Solution: Using the formula a = (4π2r)/T
