Vectors (review):Vectors (review):� In 1 dimension, we could specify direction with a + or - sign.
For example, in the previous problem ay = -g etc.
� In 2 or 3 dimensions, we need more than a sign to specify the direction of something:
� To illustrate this, consider the position vector rr in 2 dimensions.
ExampleExample: Where is Chicago?� Choose origin at UrbanaUrbana� Choose coordinates of distance (miles), and direction (N,S,E,W)� In this case rr is a vector that points 120 miles north.

� The length of a vector clearly does notnot depend on its direction.

� The position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle in 3 dimensions can be expressed as:
rr = x ii + y jj + z kk
vv = vx ii + vy jj + vz kk (ii , jj , kk unit vectors )
aa = ax ii + ay jj + az kk

� For 3-D, we simply apply the 1-D equations to each of the component equations.

� vv = vv0 + a a t
� rr = rr0 + vv0 t + 1/2 aa t2
(where aa, vv, vv0, rr, rr0, are all vectors)

� Most 3-D problems can be reduced to 2-D problems when acceleration is constant:
� Choose y axis to be along direction of acceleration� Choose x axis to be along the “other” direction of motion
� ExampleExample: Throwing a baseball (neglecting air resistance)� Acceleration is constant (gravity)
� Choose y axis up: ay = -g
� Choose x axis along the ground in the direction of the throw

� The time to reach the wall is: t = D / vx (easy!)
� We have an equation that tell us y(t) = y0 + v0y t + a t2/ 2
� So, we’re done....now we just plug in the numbers:
� Find:
� vx = 36.5 cos(30) m/s = 31.6 m/s
� vy = 36.5 sin(30) m/s = 18.25 m/s
� t = (113 m) / (31.6 m/s) = 3.58 s� y(t) = (1.0 m) + (18.25 m/s)(3.58 s) -
