1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,311 2 00:00:00,311 --> 00:00:02,560 In the last video, I told you that we would figure out 3 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,580 the final velocity of when this thing lands. 4 00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:06,400 So let's do that. 5 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,570 I forgot to do it in the last video. 6 00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:10,460 So let's figure out the final velocity-- 7 00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:12,320 the vertical and the horizontal components 8 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,730 of that final velocity. 9 00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:16,950 And then we can reconstruct the total final velocity. 10 00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:18,710 So the horizontal component is easy, 11 00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:20,918 because we already know that the horizontal component 12 00:00:20,918 --> 00:00:23,975 of its velocity is this value right over here, which we-- 13 00:00:23,975 --> 00:00:26,060 this 30 cosine of 80 degrees. 14 00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:28,270 And that's not going to change at any point in time. 15 00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:32,119 So this is going to be the horizontal component 16 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,381 of the projectile's velocity when it lands. 17 00:00:35,381 --> 00:00:36,880 But what we need to do is figure out 18 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,310 the vertical component of its velocity. 19 00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:42,950 Well, one thing we did figure out in the last video, 20 00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:47,260 we figured out what the time in the air is going to be. 21 00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:50,970 And we know a way of figuring out our final velocity 22 00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:55,580 from an initial velocity given our time in the air. 23 00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:58,127 We know that a change in velocity -- 24 00:00:58,127 --> 00:00:59,960 and we're only dealing in the vertical now-- 25 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,501 we're only dealing with the vertical, 26 00:01:01,501 --> 00:01:04,730 because the horizontal velocity is not going to change. 27 00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:07,290 We've assumed that air resistance is negligible. 28 00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:09,690 So we're only dealing with the vertical component 29 00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:10,450 right over here. 30 00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:13,210 31 00:01:13,210 --> 00:01:15,680 We know that the change in velocity-- 32 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,340 or, we could say the horizontal-- 33 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:21,770 the vertical component of the change in velocity, 34 00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:28,680 is equal to the vertical component of the acceleration 35 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,430 times time. 36 00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:31,930 Now, we know what the change in time 37 00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:35,810 is, we know it is-- I'll just write down times our time. 38 00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:40,250 And what is our change in velocity? 39 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:45,490 Well, our change in velocity is our final vertical velocity 40 00:01:45,490 --> 00:01:47,894 minus our initial vertical velocity. 41 00:01:47,894 --> 00:01:49,810 And we know what our initial vertical velocity 42 00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:51,160 is, we solved for it. 43 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,860 Our initial vertical velocity, we figured out, 44 00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:56,800 was 29.54 meters per second. 45 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,220 That's 30 sine of 80 degrees, 29.54 meters per second. 46 00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:08,190 So this is going to be minus 29.54 meters per second, 47 00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:11,540 is equal to-- our acceleration in the vertical direction 48 00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:14,400 is negative, because it's accelerating us 49 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,830 downwards, negative 9.8 meters per second squared. 50 00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:21,860 And our time in the air is 5.67 seconds. 51 00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:25,460 Times 5.67 seconds. 52 00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:27,840 And so we can solve for the vertical component 53 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,610 of our final velocity. 54 00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:31,830 So once again, this is the vertical component. 55 00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:33,360 This isn't the total one. 56 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,060 So, the vertical component. 57 00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:36,884 Let me-- well I wrote vertical up here. 58 00:02:36,884 --> 00:02:38,300 So there's the vertical component. 59 00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:39,730 So let's solve for this. 60 00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:42,190 So if you add 29.54 to both sides, 61 00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:46,590 you get the vertical component of your final velocity. 62 00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,230 Well, this is a vertical component, 63 00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:50,390 I didn't mark it up here properly-- 64 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:57,670 is equal to 29.54 meters per second plus 9.8 plus -- 65 00:02:57,670 --> 00:03:00,790 or I should say minus-- meters per second. 66 00:03:00,790 --> 00:03:08,120 Minus 9.8 meters per second squared, times 5.67 seconds. 67 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,550 The seconds cancel out with one of these seconds. 68 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:12,630 So everything is meters per second. 69 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:17,820 And so, get the calculator out again, 70 00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:27,580 we have 29.54 minus 9.8 times 5.67. 71 00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:35,550 So we get our change-- our final velocity is negative 26.03. 72 00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:40,564 So this is negative 26.03 meters per second. 73 00:03:40,564 --> 00:03:41,980 And you might say wait, wait Sal , 74 00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:45,290 what is this negative 26.03 meters per second mean? 75 00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:48,010 Remember, when we're dealing in the vertical dimension, 76 00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:51,050 positive means up, negative mean down. 77 00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:55,820 So it means we're going 26.03 meters per second downwards. 78 00:03:55,820 --> 00:04:00,860 Downwards, right when we land. 79 00:04:00,860 --> 00:04:04,880 So what is our total velocity when 80 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,190 we fall back to that landing? 81 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:10,440 So the vertical component of our velocity 82 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:18,459 is negative 29.06 times .03 in the downward direction. 83 00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,450 And the horizontal component of our velocity, we know, 84 00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:24,010 hadn't changed the entire time. 85 00:04:24,010 --> 00:04:28,410 That, we figured out, was 30 cosine of 80 degrees. 86 00:04:28,410 --> 00:04:31,720 So that over here, is 30 cosine of 80 degrees. 87 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760 I'll get the calculator out to calculate it. 88 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:40,290 30 cosine of 80 degrees, which is equal to 5.21. 89 00:04:40,290 --> 00:04:44,080 So this is 5.21 meters per second. 90 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,390 These are both in meters per second. 91 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:48,570 So what is the total velocity? 92 00:04:48,570 --> 00:04:50,530 Well, I can do the head to tails. 93 00:04:50,530 --> 00:04:55,730 So I can shift this guy over so that its tail is 94 00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:58,530 at the head of the blue vector. 95 00:04:58,530 --> 00:04:59,780 So it would look like that. 96 00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:01,500 The length of this-- the magnitude 97 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:06,397 of our vertical component, is 29.03. 98 00:05:06,397 --> 00:05:08,480 And then we could just use the Pythagorean theorem 99 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,949 to figure out the magnitude of the total velocity upon impact. 100 00:05:12,949 --> 00:05:14,490 So the length of that-- we could just 101 00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:16,470 use the Pythagorean theorem. 102 00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:18,710 So the magnitude of our total velocity, that's 103 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:19,980 this length right over here. 104 00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:23,730 105 00:05:23,730 --> 00:05:25,550 The magnitude of our total velocity, 106 00:05:25,550 --> 00:05:27,800 our total final velocity I guess we can say, 107 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,540 is going to be equal to-- well that's-- let me write it this 108 00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,412 way. 109 00:05:32,412 --> 00:05:33,870 The magnitude of our total velocity 110 00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:36,328 is going to be equal to square root-- this is just straight 111 00:05:36,328 --> 00:05:40,640 from the Pythagorean theorem-- of 5.21 112 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:48,070 squared plus 29.03 squared. 113 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:53,010 And we get it as being the second-- 114 00:05:53,010 --> 00:06:04,350 the square root of 5.21 squared plus 29.03 squared 115 00:06:04,350 --> 00:06:08,870 gives us 29.49 meters per second. 116 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:12,180 This is equal to 29.49 meters per second. 117 00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:14,440 That is the magnitude of our final velocity, 118 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120 but we also need to figure out its direction. 119 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,160 And so we need to figure out this angle. 120 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,320 And now we're talking about an angle below the horizontal. 121 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,734 Or, if you wanted to view it in kind of pure terms, 122 00:06:24,734 --> 00:06:26,234 it would be a negative angle-- or we 123 00:06:26,234 --> 00:06:28,560 could say an angle below the horizontal. 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,430 So what is this angle right over here? 125 00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:32,160 So if we view it as a positive angle just 126 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240 in the traditional trigonometric way, 127 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,602 we could say that the-- we could use any of the trig functions, 128 00:06:37,602 --> 00:06:38,685 we could even use tangent. 129 00:06:38,685 --> 00:06:39,590 Let's use tangent. 130 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:42,980 We could say that the tangent of the angle, is 131 00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:45,410 equal to the opposite over the adjacent-- 132 00:06:45,410 --> 00:06:50,690 is equal to 29.03 over 5.21. 133 00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:54,140 Or that theta is equal to the inverse tangent, 134 00:06:54,140 --> 00:07:02,340 or the arctangent of 29.03 over 5.21. 135 00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:09,570 And that gives us-- we take the inverse tangent of 29.03 136 00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:17,380 divided by 5.21, and we get 79.8 degrees. 137 00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:21,740 But it's going to be 79.8 degrees south, 138 00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:23,285 or, I guess, below the horizontal. 139 00:07:23,285 --> 00:07:26,040 140 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,270 Or you could view this as an angle of negative 79.8 degrees 141 00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:34,380 above the horizontal, either one of those work. 142 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:37,721 What's neat about this, is we figured out our final velocity 143 00:07:37,721 --> 00:07:38,220 vector. 144 00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:40,990 The entire vector, we know what that entire vector is. 145 00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:43,650 146 00:07:43,650 --> 00:07:49,790 It is 29.49 meters per second at 79.8 147 00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:52,210 degrees below the horizontal. 148 00:07:52,210 --> 00:00:00,000
