Kinematics of Particles – Plane Curvilinear Motion Lesson 3 - Sections 2/4 - 2/6 • Plane Curvilinear Motion – Motion along a curved path that lies in a single plane Tongue and Sheppard Fig 2. 3. 17 © D. J. Morrison, 2013 1
• First let’s review some concepts about vectors. – Position (r), velocity (v) and acceleration (a) are vectors. – Vectors have magnitude and direction – In the textbook and slides, vectors will be shown as bold. When written on the board or on paper, vectors will be annotated with the under bar. © D. J. Morrison, 2013 Fig 2/7 Meriam and Kraige 2
– You must know how to perform the following vector operations: Magnitude: where x, y, and z are the cartesian components of the vector. Unit vector in the direction of r: Dot product and cross product: • Appendix C 7 provides a very good review of vector operations. © D. J. Morrison, 2013 3
• Curvilinear Motion Using Rectangular Coordinates (x-y) – Useful when the position (r) is given in rectangular coordinates Fig 2/7 Meriam and Kraige i = Unit vector in x direction j = Unit vector in y direction r = xi + yj © D. J. Morrison, 2013 4

Example: Position of a particle is given as Find: v and a Solution: © D. J. Morrison, 2013 6
– For rectangular coordinates, the motion can be considered as the superposition of two simultaneous rectilinear motions in the x and y directions. – All the rectilinear kinematic equations can be applied to each direction separately! – IF the acceleration is constant, we can apply the UARM equations in the x and y directions -- very useful in solving projectile motion problems. © D. J. Morrison, 2013 7
– Recall the UARM equations from last class. For the © D. J. Morrison, 2013 x direction For the y direction 8
– For projectile motion we will apply these equations in the x and y directions. Fig 2/8 Meriam and Kraige If we neglect aerodynamic drag, ax = 0 and ay = -g © D. J. Morrison, 2013 9
So, for projectile motion, the UARM equations for the x and y directions can be written as For the © D. J. Morrison, 2013 x direction For the y direction 10

• Curvilinear Motion Using Normal. Tangential (Path) Coordinates (n-t) – Useful when the path is given, especially the curvature of the path et en Fig 2/9 Meriam and Kraige n-t coordinate system moves with particle along path. n points toward the center of curvature t is tangent to the path © D. J. Morrison, 2013 13

• Curvilinear Motion Using Polar Coordinates (Radial/Transverse) (r- ) – Useful when the motion is observed by a radial distance (r) and angular position ( ). Also known as radial-transverse coordinates The classical polar coordinate problem Fig P 2/155 Meriam and Kraige (6 th ed. ) © D. J. Morrison, 2013 18
