physics chapter 3

movements in two dimensions

  • vectors are kind of like ordinary numbers-which are also known as scalars- because thy have a magnitude, which tells you how big they are and what direction they are going.

  • separate the vector by components, one y-axis component and one x-axis component

  • How do you know when the ball will hit the ground?

  • by ignoring the horizontal component and using the s=vt formula

  • in harder questions find the starting velocity of each component
