InfoMall Homework #6 -Printed only (10 points)

Spring, 1998


Due 2/3/98

IFHW6:

Using the InfoMall

Two Dimensional Kinematics and Dynamics -


Print your answer, in three parts, to hand in on Tuesday, February 3rd, at
the beginning of class:


So far you have been studying the use of Newton's Second Law in one
dimension. Use the InfoMallto learn more about a describing motion in two or
three dimensions. Look up motion in two dimensions in a calculus-based textbook
on the InfoMalland read about how such motion is described.

  • (a) (4 pts) Summarize the way the two dimensional motion and Newton's Second
    Law is described at a calculus level. Give the citation from the InfoMall.

  • (b) (3 pts) Explain what makes projectile motiona special case of planar
    motion and describe this kind of motion, giving the equations of motion.
    Give the complete citations for the three books that you used to complete this
    task.
  • (c) (3 pts) Explain what makes uniform circular motiona special case of
    planar motion and describe this kind of motion, giving the equations of
    motion. Give the complete citations for the three books that you used to
    complete this task.
