19:22:19 Explain how to obtain the final speed and direction of motion of a projectile which starts with known velocity in the horizontal direction and falls a known vertical distance, using the analysis of vertical and horizontal motion and vectors.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> since there is no horizontal acceleration, the horizontal velocity is constant. this mean the final horizontal velocity is known if the initial horizontal velocity is known. The fourth equation of motion is used to find the final vertical velocity. we can do this since the initial vertical velocity is zero and the acceleration is known to be the acceleration of gravity (9.8m/s^2). At this point, we know the x component and the y component of the vector. we use the pythagorean theorem to give us the magnitude of the vector and the arctan (y/x) to give us the angle of the vector in relation to the x axis.

19:22:31 ** The horizontal velocity is unchanging so the horizontal component is always equal to the known initial horizontal velocity. The vertical velocity starts at 0, with acceleration thru a known distance at 9.8 m/s^2 downward. The final vertical velocity is easily found using the fourth equation of motion. We therefore know the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) components of the velocity. Using the Pythagorean Theorem and arctan (vy / vx) we find the speed and direction of the motion. **

19:24:15 Give at least three examples of vector quantities for which we might wish to find the components from magnitude and direction. Explain the meaning of the magnitude and the direction of each, and explain the meaning of the vector components.

RESPONSE --> A ball rolled off a building could be an example of finding velocity, angle, displacement or acceleration. The collision of two objects will involve velocity, momentum, direction, acceleration or displacement. A bungee jumper could demonstrate an object attached to a rubber band which would involve displacement, velocity, direction, acceleration and force.

19:24:18 ** GOOD STUDENT RESPONSE: Examples might include: A force acting on an object causing it to move in an angular direction. A ball falling to the ground with a certain velocity and angle. A two car collision; velocity and momentum are both vector quantities and both important for analyzing the collision.. The magnitude and directiohn of the relsultant is the velocity and direction of travel. The vector components are the horizontal and vertical components that would produce the same effect as the resultant.
