20:51:22 Query class notes #20 Explain how we calculate the components of a vector given its magnitude and its angle with the positive x axis.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> We can calculate the component by using the formulas: x component = Magnitude * cos(angle) y component = Magnitude * sine(angle)
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:51:44 ** 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) **

20:54:21 Explain 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.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The effect of the force in reality has two components which are seperated out.....such that the effect of the force is equivalent to the effect of two forces equal to its components.... In other words the two forces created equate to the effect of the force on the object.

20:54:47 ** 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. **

20:58:30 Explain how we can calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of a projectile at a given point.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The magnitude is calculated by adding the x components of the two seprate forces as one value and adding the y components as another value and placing them into the Pythagerom Theorom such that Magnitude^2 = (x component)^2 + (y component)^2 The direction is calculated by the the following equation: arctan(y component / x component) (if the x value is positive) If the x value is negative then we add 180 degree If the x value is positive and the y value is negative then we generally add 360 degree

20:58:42 ** 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. **

21:00:08 Explain 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.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The velocities are obtained by using: x = Magnitude * cos(direction) y = Magnitude * sin(direction)
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
21:01:22 ** 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). **

21:01:32 ** You have to find the momentum of the ball immediately before and immediately after the encounter with the floor. This allows you to find change in momentum. Using downward as positive direction throughout: Dropped from 2 m the ball will attain velocity of about 6.3 m/s by the time it hits the floor (v0=0, a = 9.8 m/s^2, `ds = 2 m, etc.). It rebounds with a velocity v0 such that `ds = -1.6 m, a = 9.8 m/s^2, vf = 0. This gives rebound velocity v0 = -5.6 m/s approx. Change in velocity is -5.6 m/s - 6.3 m/s = -11.9 m/s, approx. So change in momentum is about .04 kg * -11.9 m/s = -.48 kg m/s. In .2 millliseconds of contact we have F `dt = `dp or F = `dp / `dt = -.48 kg m/s / (.002 s) = -240 Newtons, approx. **
