2-D Kinematics: Curvilinear Motion and Polar Coordinates
This tutorial will reinforce the methods of solving curvilinear dynamics problems by examining three exercises.
Review of polar coordinate position, velocity and acceleration vectors:
Position: [pic] (1)
[pic]
Because [pic] rotates with angular velocity [pic], [pic]
Velocity: [pic] (2)
[pic]
For positive [pic], [pic]
Acceleration: [pic] (3)
1. A pilot wants to drop supplies to remote locations in the Australian outback. He intends to fly horizontally and release the packages with no vertical velocity. Derive an equation for the horizontal distance d at which he should release the package in terms of the airplane’s velocity v0 and the altitude h .
Ask yourself these questions:
Is horizontal acceleration constant? Is horizontal velocity constant?
Is vertical acceleration constant? Is vertical velocity constant?
What is the horizontal velocity? What is vertical acceleration?
Is this a projectile problem?
Execute solution:
i. In a small sketch, choose a reference frame, label it, and define [pic]. Define vectors from origin of reference frame to some point on the trajectory of the package.
ii. Integrate [pic]to get [pic]; then integrate [pic]to get [pic].
iii. Define the position vector to the target, [pic].in terms of h and d.
iv. Equate [pic] and [pic] and solve for d.
3. A boat searching for underwater archaeology sites in the Aegean Sea moves at 4 knots and follows the path r = 10( m, where ( is in radians. (A knot is one nautical mile, or 1853 meters per hour). When (=2( rad, a) determine the boat’s velocity in terms of polar and artesian coordinates.
a) Draw vector diagram depicting boat’s trajectory. Show [pic].
b) Determine [pic], [pic], and [pic] from information given.
c) Write velocity equation (2) from first page in space below. Identify which portion corresponds to vr and which corresponds to v(.
d) Write equation (2) in terms of a single unknown, [pic], and solve.
e) Write the velocity, [pic], in polar form.
f) Convert velocity to cartesian form.
