Ch. 7 Notes

This document summarizes key concepts from a physics textbook chapter about forces and motion in two dimensions. It discusses analyzing forces acting on objects in equilibrium, projectile motion with independent horizontal and vertical components, and circular motion with constant centripetal acceleration towards the center of rotation. Example problems are provided for topics like calculating the range and maximum height of projectiles launched at an angle.

Ch.

7 Forces and Motion in Two Dimensions

Milbank High School

Sec. 7.1 Forces in Two Dimensions


Objectives
Determine the force that produces equilibrium when three forces act on an object Analyze the motion of an object on an inclined plane with and without friction

What is meant by two dimensions?


Consider a golf ball being hit out of a sand trap
It has a horizontal force AND a vertical force We can solve for many different things using a combination of forces and vectors
Height of the ball Time in the air Velocity when it hits the ground

Equilibrant
A force exerted on an object to produce equilibrium Same magnitude as the resultant force but opposite in direction

Solving problems in two dimensions


Draw it out! Rearrange vectors to form a triangle if possible Solve for the resultant vector
Opposite in direction

Example Problem Pg. 151

Sec. 7.2 Projectile Motion


Objectives
Recognize that the vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile are independent Relate the height, time in the air, and the initial velocity of a projectile using its vertical motion, then determine the range. Explain how the shape of the trajectory of a moving object depends upon the frame of reference from which it is observed.

Projectiles have independent motions!


Projectiles have two velocities, one in the x direction, and one in the y direction x is always constant y will be changing due to the acceleration due to gravity

Displacement
y displacement
y = yo - 1/2gt2

x displacement x = vxot v = 25m/s

Velocity of projectiles launched horizontally


vx = initial velocity vy = (-g)t v = resultant velocity vector Example Pg. 157

Effects of air resistance


We ignore the effects of air resistance for these problems Sometimes it would make a large difference, other times it wouldnt Many projectiles modified so that they reduce air resistance

Projectiles launched at an Angle


Usually given angle of launch and velocity What do we have to find? Maximum height Range
Horizontal distance

Flight time
hang time

Projectiles Launched at an Angle


Two initial velocity components vxo vyo How do we find these? vx = vo(cos) vy = vo(sin)

Projectiles Launched at an Angle


tup = vyo/g ttotal = 2(tup) Peak Height
y = vyot - gt2

Range
R = vxot

Projectiles launched at an Angle


The Flight of a Ball Example Problem Pg. 159

Sec. 7.3 Circular Motion


Objectives
Explain the acceleration of an object moving in a circle at constant speed Describe how centripetal acceleration depends upon the objects speed and the radius of the circle Recognize the direction of the force that causes centripetal acceleration Explain how the rate of circular motion is changed by exerting torque on it.

Uniform Circular Motion


Movement of an object at constant speed around a circle with a fixed radius Merry-go-round

Circumference = 2*pi*Radius

Vectors

Acceleration
Which direction? Always towards the center

Centripetal Force
Center seeking Net force towards the center that causes the object to try to seek the center What force is pulling it in?
As a bucket of water is tied to a string and spun in a circle, the force of tension acting upon the bucket provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.

Net Force

Example Problem Pg. 165
