• Rectangular components particularly effective

when component accelerations can be integrated
independently, e.g., motion of a projectile,
a x  x  0 a y  y   g a z  z  0
with initial conditions,

Integrating twice yields

x0  y 0  z 0  0 v x 0 , v y 0 , v z 0  0

• Motion in horizontal direction is uniform.

• Motion in vertical direction is uniformly
accelerated.
• Motion of projectile could be replaced by two
independent rectilinear motions.

A policeman aimed his riffle at the bull's eye of a

target 50 m away. If the speed of the bullet is 500
m/s, how far below the bull's eye does the bullet
strike the target?

A zoology graduate student is provided

with a bow and arrow topped with a
syringe of sedative and is assigned to
measure the temperature of a black
rhinoceros. The range of his bow when
it is fully drawn and aimed 45 degrees
above the horizontal is 100 m. An
aggressive rhino suddenly charges
straight toward him at 30 km/hr. If he
fully draws his bow and aimed at 20
degrees above the horizontal, how far
away should the rhino be when the
student releases the arrow?

along the parabolic path shown,
he has a speed of 6 m/s which is
increasing at 2 m/s2.

horizontal is his velocity
being directed?

A race car C travels around the horizontal circular track

that has a radius of 300ft. If the car increases its speed
at a constant rate of 70 ft/s2, starting from rest,
determine the time needed for it to reach an acceleration
of 8 ft/s2. What is the speed at this instant?

Pulley D is attached to a
collar which is pulled down at
3 in./s. At t = 0, collar A starts
moving down from K with
constant acceleration and
zero initial velocity. Knowing
that velocity of collar A is 12
in./s as it passes L, determine
the change in elevation,
velocity, and acceleration of
block B when block A is at L.
