Chapter 1.3, Problem 1aT
Draw vectors on your diagram that represent the instantaneous velocity of the ball at each of the labeled locations. If the velocity is zero at any point, indicate that explicitly. Explain why you drew the vectors as you did.
We will call diagrams like the one you drew above velocity diagrams. Unless otherwise specified, a velocity diagram shows both the location and the velocity of an object at instants in time that are separated by equal time intervals.

The above diagrams indicate the motion of a ball moving from left to right and subject
to one or more forces on various surfaces. Each circle represents the position of the ball
at succeeding instants of time. The time-interval between each successive position is
the same. The bold arrow indicates the positive direction.

- You will be studying the two-dimensional motion of a projectile moving in a vertical plane. We assume that there is no air resistance on the projectile. This lab is based on the theory presented in Chapter 4 of the Knight (5th edition) textbook. The diagram below shows the trajectory of a ball projected from the origin at time t=0. On the axes below the diagram, sketch the respective graphs for the projectile motion.

Draw the ball in at least five different positions; two when the ball is going up, two when it is going down, and one at its maximum height. Label the horizontal and vertical axes of your coordinate system. On your sketch, draw and label the expected acceleration vectors of the ball (relative sizes and directions) for the five different positions. Decompose each acceleration vector into its vertical and horizontal components. On your sketch, draw and label the velocity vectors of the object at the same positions you chose to draw your acceleration vectors. Decomposes each velocity vector into its vertical and horizontal components. Check to see that the changes in the velocity vector are consistent with the acceleration vectors.arrow_forwardProblem Statement: You decide you are done with physics class and you run away to join a traveling circus. The circus is putting on a new act which involves launching someone out of a cannon, “the human cannonball," however, the cannon is mounted atop a moving train. The human cannonball will be launched in front of the train from atop the train. Just before landing in harms way, a trapeze artist will swoop the cannonball up before they are hit by the train. The ring mistress of the circus learns that you studied physics and decides she wants you to do some calculations for the safety of the human cannonball. You can't seem to escape your physics class even in the circus. Suppose the human cannonball is launched with speed vo and launch angle 0. At the moment they launch, the train which had been moving with speed Vtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a.

On that path, use a dot to represent the object’s position at time t1. Label this point as O, and draw a vector at O to represent the magnitude and direction of the object’s velocity at time t1. Draw another dot to represent the object’s position at a later time t2, shortly after t1, and label this point P.

Use the fact that the lengths of displacement and velocity vectors are proportional to each other to draw a series of vectors that are proportional to the average x and y-velocity vector components during each 1/15th of a second time interval. Start with Frame 1 in each of the figures that follow. Place the tail of the first velocity vector at the ball’s location in frame 1 and then place the tail of the next vector at the ball’s location in frame 2 and so on.arrow_forward
