acceleration in a plane
! acceleration parallel to the velocity changes the magnitude of velocity but not the direction
physics 111N 13
acceleration in a plane
! acceleration perpendicular to the velocity changes the direction of velocity but not the magnitude
physics 111N 14
acceleration in a plane
! a general acceleration vector can change both the magnitude and direction of the velocity
physics 111N 15
acceleration in a plane
! a general acceleration vector can change both the magnitude and direction of the velocity
! but we can understand the effect by breaking into components parallel and perpendicular to the velocity

projectile motion
we’d like to to be able to describe why the ball takes this path
physics 111N 18
projectile motion - independence of horiz. & vertical motion
! another experimental observation is useful
notice that the vertical motion is identical
not affected by the horizontal motion
great news! we can consider x & y separately
! the y-motion is just free-fall
! the x-motion a constant velocity
physics 111N 19
projectile motion
! our theory of projectile motion is that
! and the constant acceleration equations apply to x & y separately
physics 111N 20
projectile motion
! our theory of projection motion is that
! and the constant acceleration equations apply to x & y separately
physics 111N 21
projectile motion
! e.g. a cannonball fired from ground level (y=0m) at x=0m with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal
note that it’s very similar to the kicked football

show the velocity vector & the acceleration

show the velocity vector components
physics 111N 24
projectile motion
! we can analyse this motion using our equations
! prove that the shape of the path is a parabola
eliminate t from the equations to give y as a function of x
(choose x0=0, y0=0 for simplicity)

uniform circular motion
an object moving around a circle at a constant rate
must have an acceleration always perpendicular to the velocity (else the speed would change)
the velocity is clearly tangent to the circle (or it would move off the circle)
hence the acceleration points always toward the center of the circle - “centripetal acceleration”
