Kinematics: Two-Dimensional Motion

objectives Lesson Objectives

After you have completed this section, you will be able to:

  1. Add, subtract, and resolve displacement and velocity vectors.
  2. Apply vector resolution to solving problems involving constant velocity and constant acceleration.
  3. Write expressions, sketch, and identify graphs for the horizontal and vertical components of velocity and position as functions of time.
  4. Apply these expressions in analyzing the motion of a projectile that is projected with a non-zero initial velocity.
