Unit 2 - 2D Kinematics

Learning Targets

2.1 Students should be able to add, subtract, and resolve displacement and velocityvectors, so they can:(1) Determine components of a vector along two specified, mutually perpendicular axes. (2) Determine the net displacement of a particle or the location of a particle relative to another. (3) Determine the change in velocity of a particle or the velocity of one particle relative to another.2.2 Students should understand the general motion of a particle in two dimensions sothat, given functions x(t) and y(t) which describe this motion, they can determinethe components, magnitude, and direction of the particle’s velocity and accelerationas functions of time.2.3 Students should understand the motion of projectiles in a uniform gravitationalfield, so they can:(1) Write down expressions for the horizontal and vertical components of velocityand position as functions of time, and sketch or identify graphs of theseComponents.(2) Use these expressions in analyzing the motion of a projectile that is projectedwith an arbitrary initial velocity
