Item 1
In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with
them using their components. (You must first specify a coordinate system in order to find the
components of each arrow.) This problem gives you some practice with the components.
Let vectors , , and . Calculate the following, and express
your answers as ordered triplets of values separated by commas.

Item 2
Learning Goal: To understand the basic concepts of projectile motion.
Projectile motion may seem rather complex at first. However, by breaking it down into components, you will
find that it is really no different than the one-dimensional motions that you have already studied.
One of the most often used techniques in physics is to divide two- and three-dimensional quantities into
components. For instance, in projectile motion, a particle has some initial velocity . In general, this
velocity can point in any direction on the xy plane and can have any magnitude. To make a problem more
managable, it is common to break up such a quantity into its x component  and its y component .
Consider a particle with initial velocity  that has magnitude 12.0  and is directed 60.0
above the negative x axis.
Part A
What is the x component  of ?
Express your answer in meters per second.

Part B
What is the y component  of ?
Express your answer in meters per second.
ANSWER:
=
Answer not displayed

Breaking up the velocities into components is particularly useful when the components do not
affect each other. Eventually, you will learn about situations in which the components of velocity
do affect one another, but for now you will only be looking at problems where they do not. So, if
there is acceleration in the x direction but not in the y direction, then the x component of the
velocity will change, but the y component of the velocity will not.
Part C
Look at this applet. The motion diagram for a projectile is displayed, as are the motion diagrams
for each component. The x-component motion diagram is what you would get if you shined a

spotlight down on the particle as it moved and recorded the motion of its shadow. Similarly, if you
shined a spotlight to the left and recorded the particle’s shadow, you would get the motion
diagram for its y component. How would you describe the two motion diagrams for the
components?
ANSWER:
motion with constant nonzero acceleration.
nonzero acceleration, whereas the horizontal component
exhibits constant-velocity motion.
whereas the horizontal component exhibits motion with
constant nonzero acceleration.
motion with constant velocity.

distance  (from C to B) is 150 , and the
speed  of the current in the river is 5

Item 4
A quarterback is set up to throw the football to a receiver who is running with a constant velocity
directly away from the quarterback and is now a distance  away from the quarterback. The
quarterback figures that the ball must be thrown at an angle  to the horizontal and he estimates
that the receiver must catch the ball a time interval  after it is thrown to avoid having opposition
players prevent the receiver from making the catch. In the following you may assume that the ball is
thrown and caught at the same height above the level playing field. Assume that the y coordinate of
the ball at the instant it is thrown or caught is  and that the horizontal position of the
quaterback is .
Use  for the magnitude of the acceleration
due to gravity, and use the pictured inertial
coordinate system when solving the problem.
Part A
Find , the vertical component of the velocity of the ball when the quarterback releases it.
