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 #$&* OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain what we mean when we say that the effect of a force is completely equivalent to the effect of two forces equal to its components. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If there are two forces, one equal to the single force’s x component and one equal to the single force’s y component, then they are equal to the single force, proven by the Pythagorean Theorem. confidence rating #$&* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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 #$&* OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how we can calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of a projectile at a given point. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: By graphing the point on a coordinate plane, we can find it’s x and y components by drawing straight lines from the point to the x and y axis. We can find the magnitude from here using the Pythagorean Theorem. The direction of the velocity can be found by plugging the following into a calculator: tan^-1 (y component / x component). confidence rating #$&* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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 #$&* OK ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how we can calculate the initial velocities of a projectile in the horizontal and vertical directions given the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The initial velocity in the horizontal direction can be found by: magnitude * cos(direction of initial velocity). The initial velocity in the vertical direction can be found by: magnitude * sin(direction of initial velocity). confidence rating #$&* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** 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 / (.0002 s) = -2400 Newtons, approx. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* "
