    This document provides an introduction to engineering physics concepts including: 1) Vectors, which have both magnitude and direction, are introduced and scalar quantities that only have magnitude are defined. Methods for adding and subtracting vectors are described. 2) Unit vectors are defined as vectors with a magnitude of one pointing along the x, y, and z axes and are used to write the components of a vector. 3) Projectile motion, the motion of objects through the air near the Earth's surface, is discussed and the kinematic equations for the horizontal and vertical motion of projectiles are provided.

    Kinematics in Two or Three Dimensions; Vectors

    Vectorel: A quantity such as velocity, which


    has direction as well as magnitüde is a
    vector quantity.

    Scalar: Quantities with no directions


    associated with them such as mass, time,
    and temperature.

    Vector Kinematics - Unit Vectors

    ✓ A unit vector is defined to have a magnitude exactly


    equal to one.
    ✓ Unit vectors 𝑖,Ƹ 𝑗,Ƹ and 𝑘෡ point along the positive x,y,
    and z axes, respectively.
    ✓ The components of a vector V can be written as,
    V=(Vx) 𝑖Ƹ +(Vy) 𝑗Ƹ +(Vz) 𝑘෡

    Projectile Motion

    Motion of objects moving through the air


    in two dimensions near the Earth’s
    surface, such as a golf ball, a thrown or
    batted baseball, kicked football, and
    speeding bullets.

    Projectile Motion

    Kinematic Equations for Projectile Motion


    Horizontal Motion Vertical Motion
    (ax=0, vx=constant) (ay=-g=constant)
    vx=vx0 vy=vy0-gt
    x=x0+vx0t y=y0+vy0t-1/2gt2
    Vy2=vy02-2g(y-y0)
