Chapter 3: Kinematics in 2 dimension
Previously,
We have been defining motion only
on 1 dimension

𝑥0 𝑥1
𝑡0 𝑡1
Now, 2D
 How do you represent 2 dimensions into 1
variable?

𝑥
 Projectile
 any object that is cast, fired, flung, heaved,
hurled, pitched, tossed, or thrown.

 The path of a projectile is called its trajectory

 Relative Velocity
 The velocity of an object is relative to the observer making
the measurement.

2m/s

2m/s

They will see each other as stationary

 2m/s

4m/s

Green car is 2m/s faster than blue car

BUT! For a stationary cat, what is the

velocity of the blue/green car?

What is the velocity of the cat relative

to the blue/green car?
Velocity adds up for person walking in
a moving train

 What if the person moves the other way??
