Curvilinear Motion Motion of projectile Normal and tangential components
2
Curvilenear motion Normal and tangential components
3
\ v=0.12t 2 When t=0, s=0 When t=10, s=? when t = 0, v =0 → c=0 s =0.6(10 2 ) = 60 m when t = 10,

Cars traveling along a clover-leaf interchange experience an acceleration due to a change in speed as well as due to a change in direction of the velocity. If the car’s speed is increasing at a known rate as it travels along a curve, how can we determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration? Why would you care about the total acceleration of the car? Curvilenear motion Normal and tangential motion components
5
A motorcycle travels up a hill for which the path can be approximated by a function y = f(x). If the motorcycle starts from rest and increases its speed at a constant rate, how can we determine its velocity and acceleration at the top of the hill? How would you analyze the motorcycle's “flight” at the top of the hill?
6
ACCELERATION IN THE n-t COORDINATE SYSTEM There are two components to the acceleration vector: tangential component normal component
7
Constant acceleration
8
-tangent to the curve and in the direction of increasing or decreasing velocity. -represents the time rate of change in the magnitude of the velocity tangential components -Always directed toward the center of curvature of the curve. -represents the time rate of change in the direction of the velocity Normal/centripetal components
9
Magnitude of acceleration Radius of curvature
10
Consider these 2 cases: 1.If the particle moves along a straight line 2.If the particle moves along a curve with a constant speed

when t = 10, v =100 when t = t’, v =0 Example 2 The boxes travel along the industrial conveyor. If a box starts from rest at A and increases its speed such that a t = ( 0.2t ) m/s 2, determine the magnitude of its acceleration when it arrives at point B.
13
magnitude of acceleration at B; info we have; [solution]
14
