A ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of magnitude v1 from a window at height H. In addition to gravity acting on the ball there is another force so that the acceleration in the up direction is –g+t where is a constant and t is the time. What is the ball’s position when the acceleration is zero?
A rocket, initially at rest, is fired at t=0 vertically down from a building of height H. The rocket’s acceleration, including the effects of gravity, is downwards with increasing magnitude given by a(t)=t, where is a known constant. When does it hit the ground and how fast is it going when it hits?
16 m
You want to measure the height of a building. You stand 2m away from a 3m pole and see that it’s “in line” with the top of the building. You measure 16 m from the pole to the building. What is the height of the building?
Adding Vectors by Components
1. Draw a diagram2. Choose x and y axes. Choose them in a way that make
your work easier. (E.g. choose one axis along the direction of one of the vectors so that the vector will have only one component).
3. Resolve each vector in x and y components4. Calculate each component using sine and cosine. Be
careful with signs: any component that points along the negative x or y axis gets a negative sign.
5. Add the x components together to get the x component of the resultant. Similar for y:
Vx=V1x+V2x+…Vy=V1y+V2y+…
CRAYFISH, SWAN, AND PIKE(Translation of I. Krylov's fable)
Let crayfish, swan and pikeDraw heavy loaded cart,
Each being just a partOf harness they dislike.
They try a lot, and everyoneStarts pulling it with zeal;
The problem is that each of themWith his path wants to deal!
The swan makes upward for a cloud,
The crayfish falls behind;The pike dives sharply in the deep,
And cart moves not from site.
The moral of the verse is thatAccordance should prevail
Amid the people who have plansTo work but not in vain.
