Kinematics in Two Dimensions Position, velocity, acceleration vectors Constant acceleration in 2-D Free fall in 2-D Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8
The Equations: If is constant (magnitude and direction), then: In 2-D free-fall type questions, we separate the motion into horizontal and vertical parts: < Horizontal, a=0 < Vertical, a=-g Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8

Height, Range, Time Determine the maximum height of a projectile Determine how far it goes (range) Determine the total time in flight Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8
Shooting the Gorilla Tarzan has a new slingshot. George the gorilla hangs from a tree, and bets that Tarzan can’t hit him. Tarzan aims at George, and is sorry that he didn’t pay more attention in physics class. Where should he aim? Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8
Example Problem A stone is thrown upwards from the top of a 45.0 m high building with a 30º angle above the horizontal. If the initial velocity of the stone is 20.0 m/s, how long is the stone in the air, and how far from the base of the building does it land ? Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8
Example Problem A stone is thrown downwards from the top of a 45.0 m cliff with a 30º angle below the horizontal. If the initial velocity of the stone is 20.0 m/s, how long is the stone in the air, and how far from the base of the building does it land ? Physics 1D03 - Lecture 8
