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 I understand that magnitude = sqrt(x^2 + Y^2) and angle or direction = tan-1(y/x) ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*3 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ********************************************* 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.

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, so if the total of x is negative we add 180 if it is positve we add 360....I rmeber this now. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ********************************************* Question: `qExplain how we can calculate the initial velocities of a projectile in the horizontal and vertical directions given the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: if we know the magnitude of the initital velocity and direction of velocity ce can calculate the final velocity and from there find the time in the vertical direction. Horizontally we multiply the velocity by the time from the vertical to find the direction in the horizotnally confidence rating #$&* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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, so this was x=v cos(theta) y=v sin (theta) ????????????????????????????????????this says that there are the magnitude and the angle with respect to the positvie x aixs, I am not quite clear on this ar ethey added together??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
cos(90 deg) = 0, so the x component of the velocity is v_x = v cos(90 deg) = v * 0 = 0.
sin(90 deg) = 1, so the y component of the velocity is v_y = v sin(90 deg) = v * 1 = v.
If an object is thrown in the horizontal direction, its angle with the horizontal is 0 degrees. Its velocity is wholly in the horizontal direction. The vertical component of its velocity is zero. Our calculations again verify this:
cos(0 deg) = 0, so the x component of this velocity is v_x = v cos(0 deg) = v * 0 = 0.
sin(0 deg) = 1, so the y component of this velocity is v_y = v sin(0 deg) = v * 1 = v.
Now if an object is thrown at some nonzero angle with horizontal, as it typically the case, the magnitudes of its velocity components are less than the magnitude of its velocity.
For example an object thrown at angle 45 degrees, halfway between the direction of the x axis and that of the y axis, has equal x and y components. Our calculation verifies this
cos(45 deg) = .71, approx., so the x component of this velocity is v_x = v cos(45 deg) = v * .71 = .71 v.
sin(45 deg) = .71, so the y component of this velocity is v_y = v sin(45 deg) = v * .71 = .71 v.
An object thrown at 30 degrees, closer to the direction of the x axis that to that of the y axis, has a velocity component in the x direction which is greater than that in the y direction. Our calculation will verify this:
cos(30 deg) = .87, approx., so the x component of this velocity is v_x = v cos(30 deg) = v * .87 = .87 v.
sin(30 deg) = .50, so the y component of this velocity is v_y = v sin(30 deg) = v * .50 = .50 v. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
