1. Kinematics of 3- or 2-dimensional motion z x y Position vector: Average velocity: Instantaneous velocity: Average acceleration: Instantaneous acceleration: a || → magnitude of velocity a ┴ → direction of velocity

2. Equations of 3-D Kinematics for Constant Acceleration Result: 3-D motion with constant acceleration is a superposition of three independent motions along x, y, and z axes.

8. Principles of Special Theory of Relativity ( Einstein 1905 ): 1.Laws of Nature are invariant for all inertial frames of reference. (Mikelson-Morly’s experiment (1887): There is no “ether wind” ! ) 2. Velocity of light c is the same for all inertial frames and sources. Relativistic laws for coordinates transformation and addition of velocities are not Galileo’s ones: Contraction of length: Slowing down of time:Twin paradox Slowing and stopping light in gases (predicted at Texas A&M) yy’ x x’x’ V Proved by Fizeau experiment (1851) of light dragging by water Lorentz transformation
