To describe something in 2 dimensions
You need 2 quantities

Vectors are everywhere
Vector addition works well for displacement and:
› Velocity
› Acceleration
› Forces
Or any other vector quantity…

Worked Example
› I drive to Newcastle, (200 km north and 15 km east of Sydney).
› Then I drive to Mudgee, (130km west and 50 km north of Newcastle).
How far am I from Sydney?

Questions from last lecture/tutorial?
![Page 21: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Projectiles
Any object travelling in free-fall is called a projectile.
The physics is quite simple (if you neglect air resistance etc)
![Page 22: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“Free fall” does NOT mean falling downwards
Free fall means accelerating downwards with a = g, i.e. at the acceleration due to gravity i.e. under the influence of gravity only

Path of a projectile
› The path of a projectile is parabolic- Or rather, the path of its centre of mass is parabolic
› The projectile moves in two dimensions, horizontally and vertically- That’s why we learnt all about vectors…

Question
One egg is thrown off a cliff. Another egg is dropped at the same time.
Which hits the ground first ?
Bullet fired vs droppedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9wQVIEdKh8
![Page 27: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hint
Horizontal and Vertical components are independent.
› What is the vertical acceleration in each case?
› What is the horizontal acceleration in each case?
![Page 28: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Let’s do an experiment!

Answer
› The two objects take exactly the same time to fall.
› The vertical and horizontal components of the motion are independent.
Horiz motion: a = 0 Vert motion: a = -9.8 m/s2

Q: Dropping a package
› A rescue plane flying at 1200 m elevation at 430 km/h approaches a person struggling in the water. At what distance should the pilot release a rescue capsule if it is to strike the water close to the person?
![Page 32: FACULTY OF SCIENCE Physics Bridging Course Chapter 3 VECTORS AND MOTION IN 2 3 DIMENSIONS School of Physics](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051320/5a4d1b717f8b9ab0599b54e6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conditions Apply
› Air resistance
› Spin/slice/swing
› These apply additional forces which we don’t take into account at this stage (too complicated).
