And Vectors

ConcepTest 3.5 Dropping a Package

You drop a package from

a plane flying at constant

speed in a straight line.

Without air resistance, the

package will:

1) quickly lag behind the plane while falling

2) remain vertically under the plane while falling

3) move ahead of the plane while falling

4) not fall at all

ConcepTest 3.5 Dropping a Package

You drop a package from

a plane flying at constant

speed in a straight line.

Without air resistance, the

package will:

1) quickly lag behind the plane while falling

2) remain vertically under the plane while falling

3) move ahead of the plane while falling

4) not fall at all

Both the plane and the package have

the same horizontal velocity at the

moment of release. They will

maintain this velocity in the x-

direction, so they stay aligned.

Follow-up: What would happen if air resistance is present? 3

ConcepTest 3.6b Dropping the Ball II

In the previous problem,

which ball has the greater

velocity at ground level?

1) the “dropped” ball

2) the “fired” ball

3) neither – they both have the

same velocity on impact

4) it depends on how hard the

ball was thrown

ConcepTest 3.6b Dropping the Ball II

In the previous problem,

which ball has the greater

velocity at ground level?

1) the “dropped” ball

2) the “fired” ball

3) neither – they both have the

same velocity on impact

4) it depends on how hard the

ball was thrown

Both balls have the same vertical velocity when they hit the ground (since they are both acted on by gravity for the same time). However, the “fired” ball also has a horizontal velocity. When you add the two components vectorially, the “fired” ball has a larger net velocity when it hits the ground.

Follow-up: What would you have to do to have them both reach the same final velocity at ground level?

A golfer hits a golf ball at an angle of 25.0˚ to the ground. If the golf ball covers a horizontal distance of 301.5 m, what is the ball’s maximum height? (Hint: At the top of its flight, the ball’s vertical velocity component will be zero.)

Consider the Range equation:

Solve for the

Sample Problem

A potato is shot from a potato gun at 100.0 m/s at an angle of 45.0˚. The potato is shot from a bridge 50.0 m above the water. Find the following:

a) total time of flightb) final velocity just before hitting the waterc) total horizontal displacementd) maximum vertical displacement above the water

18

What must I do first?

Break the initial velocity into x- and y- components.

Which question is easiest to answer?Find the total time of flight

Which equation has all the information but time?

By quadratic equation, t = 15 s
