Given Solution: `a** STUDENT RESPONSE: x component of the vector = magnitude * cos of the angle y component of the vector = magnitude * sin of the angle To get the magnitude and angle from components: angle = arctan( y component / x component ); if the x component is less than 0 than we add 180 deg to the solution To get the magnitude we take the `sqrt of ( x component^2 + y component^2) ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain what we mean when we say that the effect of a force is completely equivalent to the effect of two forces equal to its components. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: It means that we are calculating the effect that the forces have on each other. We have added the components and found a new direction and magnitude of a new vector. It is a combination of the two vectors. Confidence rating: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** If one person pulls with the given force F in the given direction the effect is identical to what would happen if two people pulled, one in the x direction with force Fx and the other in the y direction with force Fy. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how we can calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of a projectile at a given point. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: We can simply use vectors Magnitude would equal sqroot(x^2+y^2) where x and y are the points The direction can be found using the components by taking tan^-1(y/x) Confidence rating: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** Using initial conditions and the equations of motion we can determine the x and y velocities vx and vy at a given point, using the usual procedures for projectiles. The magnitude of the velocity is sqrt(vx^2 + vy^2) and the angle with the pos x axis is arctan(vy / vx), plus 180 deg if x is negative. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how we can calculate the initial velocities of a projectile in the horizontal and vertical directions given the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If we have magnitude and initial direction, we find x and y through: X= mag(cos(direction)) Y=mag(sin(direction)) Confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** Initial vel in the x direction is v cos(theta), where v and theta are the magnitude and the angle with respect to the positive x axis. Initial vel in the y direction is v sin(theta). ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating: OK "
