4/5 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Moving in Two and Three Dimensions  In this chapter we extends the material of the preceding chapters to two and three dimensions.  Position, velocity, and acceleration are again used, but they are now a little more complex because of the extra dimensions.

4/6 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Position and Displacement  One general way of locating a particle is with a position vector r,  The coefficients x, z, and y give the particle’s location along the coordinate axes and relative to the origin.  The following figure shows a particle with position vector  In rectangular coordinates, the position is given by (–3 m, 2 m, 5 m). →

4/7 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Position and Displacement  As a particle moves, its position vector changes in a way that the vector always extends from the origin to the particle.  If the position vector changes from r 1 to r 2, then the particle’s displacement delta is: →→

4/8 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity  If a particle moves through a displacement Δr in a time interval Δt, then its average velocity v avg is:  The equation above can be rewritten in vector components as: → →

4/9 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics  The particle’s instantaneous velocity v is the velocity of the particle at some instant.  The direction of instantaneous velocity of a particle is always tangent to the particle’s path at the particle’s position. Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity →

4/10 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity  Writing the last equation in unit-vector form:  This equation can be simplified by rewriting it as: where the scalar components of v are:  The next figure shows a velocity vector v and its scalar x and y components. Note that v is tangent to the particle’s path at the particle’s position. → → →

4/11 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics The figure below shows a circular path taken by a particle.

4/12 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Homework 4: The Plane A plane flies 483 km west from city A to city B in 45 min and then 966 km south from city B to city C in 1.5 h. From the total trip of the plane, determine: (a) the magnitude of its displacement; (b) the direction of its displacement; (c) the magnitude of its average velocity; (d) the direction of its average velocity; (e) its average speed.

4/13 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Homework 4 A turtle starts moving from its original position with the speed 10 cm/s in the direction 25° north of due east for 1 minute. Afterwards, it continues to move south for 2 m in 8 s. From the total movement of the turtle, determine: (a) the magnitude of its displacement; (b) the direction of its displacement; (c) the magnitude of its average velocity; (d) the direction of its average velocity; (e) its average speed.
