3.3 Projectile Motion

First off, thank you so much for those who have continued to follow my blog. I have been a busy with trying to get school going among other things.


Finally we get to use all these vectors we have been going over the past few weeks. First here are the answers from yesterday:

The question:
A jet plane is flying at a constant altitude. At time t1 = 0 it has components of velocity Vx = 90m/s,  Vy = 40m/s. a) Sketch the velocity vectors at t1 and t2. At time t2 = 30.0 s the components are vx = -170 m/s, vy = 40 m/s
 How do these two vectors differ? For this time interval calculate (b) the components of the average acceleration, and (c) the magnitude and direction of the average acceleration.




Projectile Motion

A projectile is any object that follows a path that is completely determined by gravitational acceleration and air resistance, all the while giving an initial velocity to start. A projectile that is following a path is also known as a trajectory. 

Try this example for fun: Grab to items of the same weight (about) and hold them in your hand at the same height. Next drop one of the objects and throw the other object a few inches out. Which one will reach the ground first? Trick question ;)

They should reach the ground around the same time. Something that is very interesting when I first started learning physics. As of right now we will not include air resistance in our equations for projectile motion.


Heres another question for you to figure out: (Will post tonight or tomorrow morning)

A batter hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat at speed v0 = 37.0 m>s at an angle a0 = 53.1°. (a) Find the position of the ball and its velocity (magnitude and direction) at t = 2.00 s. (b) Find the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its flight, and its height h at this time. (c) Find the horizontal range R—that is, the horizontal distance from the starting point to where the ball hits the ground.

  5. ...interstellar travel not acceleration constant (graphene: planet errant)... every bit a Terraformed planet errant into a bubble graphene how diamond transparent...with fusion reactors which will give the light and heat how an artificial sun, encircling an antigravitational field Tesla/Brown "electrogravitics" prevents objects collision against the "blue-arch of heaven"... Who needs already a star...

  6. CO2 + UV laser = C + O2... 3d bioprinting = Immortality = go to stars ((typewrite: interstellar travel constant acceleration))

  7. ...interstellar travel constant acceleration (Chiquitita the stars are shining for you over there in the high)… Today there is not any song, crying bitter tears for the Chiquitita from Mexico who never more will return to sing, she was shut up forever of the more inhuman mode by the coward feminicidal "machismo", in reality those coward assassins are not males, they are homovices who although have the strength of men, they are not men (only the homovices, TV propagation, hate to women, libro homovicio "La últ muj de Austrl", the last Australia´s woman, the homovices want make a world without women for "substitute to women", damned-homovices-dirty-repugnant-wretched-sterile-ill-vicious-mistaken). Hypocrite politicians continuously doing damn´s concentrations to the coward feminicides perpetrated by the homovices, that "damn" DON´T IS USEFUL FOR NOTHING, as can see, the unique that is useful is the FEAR of Death Penalty, and all other are tales. The "civilized" politicians, guided by the religious Inquisition all credos "leaders" of the horror, they prefer that assassinating three thousand five hundred millions of women before call to Referendum and that being the People who decides applying to the feminicidal, a road-roller starting by the feet, only have that announce it and finished the cowards feminicides committed by the homovices. The horror against women will stop someday. Chiquitita las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto.
