IG. Let’s consider the motion of a rolling disc on a horizontal surface (Fig.1). We want to
analyze the motion of a point M on the rim of the disc. Initially M was at the origin of a
frame (Oxy), and the center of the disc was at the position C (0, a), where a is the radius
of the disc. Later at a time f, M is at a position M(x(#), (0)) and C at a position
C(X(@,a). We gssume that C is moving at constant velocity 7,
‘a, Represent on the figure below, the positions vectors 7 of M and R of C with respect
to the frame (Oxy).
b. Write the components of M, x(#) and (0) in terms of ve, t, a and 8
c. Express the angle @ in terms of vo, f, a
. Show that :
x()=alat-sin(at)] and y()=al1-cos(at)]
where @= vola.

radius a = 10.0 cm. The center of the dise C moves at a constant speed ve = 1.00 m/s
along the line shown on the figure. The position vector of the point M at time ¢ is given
by:

a. Represent on the figure above the path of M from initial position to the final position.
b. Express the velocity and acceleration at the point M in unit vector notation,
c. Using different colors represent the velocity and acceleration vectors on the figure
above at the second recorded point, using the following scales:
Speed: 1 em —> 1,00 m/s, acceleration: Lem —> 5.00 m/s*.
4d. Show that the speed of the point M at any time is given by: » dawsint
Use the identity: cos(a+b) =cos(a)eos(b) — sin(a)sin(6) /Za4 (2 @)= A- 20" (8)
e. Express the tangential acceleration component ar and the centripetal acceleration
component ay in terms of a t and a.
8. A boy sitting in a car that is moving along a straight road at a constant speed ve = 10
rvs, throws a ball upward at an initial speed vy = 3.0 m/s, and from a position that is 1.0
m above the ground.
What is the trajectory of the ball from the time it is thrown up to the time it hits the
ground, for an observer sitting inside the car? Explain.
b. What is the trajectory of the ball from the time it is thrown up to the time it hits the
ground, for an observer that is at rest outside? Explain.
¢. Find the velocity of the ball at the time it hits the ground, as measured by the observer
outside. (take g = 9.8 m/s”) 5
