Topics in Motion in a Plane

1

Rectilinear Motion (Vector Form)

  • Rectilinear motion is motion along a straight line where position, velocity, and acceleration are collinear
  • Vector notation helps in extending concepts to two-dimensional motion
  • Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is scalar
2

Motion in Two Dimensions

  • Motion in a plane requires vector analysis with x and y components
  • Position vector: r⃗ = xî + yĵ
  • Velocity components are independent: vₓ = dx/dt, vᵧ = dy/dt
3

Relative Velocity

  • Relative velocity is the velocity of one object as observed from another moving object
  • v⃗ₐB = v⃗ₐ - v⃗B (velocity of A relative to B)
  • v⃗Bₐ = v⃗B - v⃗ₐ = -v⃗ₐB (velocity of B relative to A)
4

Projectile Motion

  • Motion of an object under gravity alone after being projected with initial velocity
  • Horizontal motion: uniform velocity (aₓ = 0)
  • Vertical motion: uniformly accelerated (aᵧ = -g)
