Tutorial 2: Vector and translational kinematics.

1. (a) Dx = 200 cos 30.0o = 173 km Dy = 200 sin 30.0o = 100 km (b) vx = 40.0 cos 120o = -20.0 km/h vy = 40.0 sin 120o = +34.6 km/h (c) Fx = 50.0 cos 330o = 43.3 N; Fy = 50.0 sin 330o = -25.0 N

2. [pic]

3. Wx = 200 sin 300; Wx = 100 N, down the plane. Wy = 200 cos 300; Wy = 173 N, normal to the plane.

4. The triple jump consists of a double jump in one direction, followed by a perpendicular single jump, which we can represent with displacement vectors J and K and D = J + K. J = 4d and K = 2d where [pic]. [pic] [pic]

5. (a) [pic] (b) When the faster car has a 15.0 min lead, it is ahead by a distance equal to that traveled by the slower car in a time of 15.0 min. [pic] The faster car pulls ahead of the slower car at a rate of
