Ch. 3: Kinematics in 2D and 3D
Kinematics in 2 and 3 dimensions
is “not much more difficult” than 1 dimension --
You just have to keep track of more information
Suggestion: have a strong mastery of vectors and 1D kinematics
Read chapter 3. Pay close attention to
the examples. Try and visualize the motion. Avoid
mistaking velocity and acceleration. Remember, acceleration
is the change in the velocity
Remember, for the moment,
we are just in the business of
mathematically describing motion
