Rapid Recall

  1. Which problems are you ready to present?
  2. Which problems did you sincerely attempt (spent sufficient time to develop questions if you got stuck)?
  3. When we write the sum $\vec F = \vec F_{\parallel \vec d}+ \vec F_{\perp \vec d}$, we call $\vec F_{\parallel \vec d}$ the ____ of $\vec F$ that is ____ to $\vec d$.
  4. What do we call $\vec F_{\perp \vec d}$.
  5. If a force $\vec F$ of magnitude 10 N acts in the same direction as a displacement $\vec d$ of 5 m, what is the work done by $\vec F$ through the displacement $\vec d$?

Group problems

Let $\vec F=(-10,0)$ and $\vec d=(2,1)$. Recall the projection of $\vec F$ onto $\vec d$ is $\ds \text{proj}_\vec d\vec F = \frac{\vec F\cdot \vec d}{\vec d\cdot \vec d}\vec d$.

  1. Compute the projection of $\vec F$ onto $\vec d$ (so compute $\vec F_{\parallel \vec d}$).
  2. Draw $\vec F$, $\vec d$ and $\text{proj}_\vec d\vec F $ on the same grid, all with their base at the origin. Try your best to give the $x$ and $y$ directions the same scale, otherwise you won't be able to see the connections among vectors.
  3. Add to your picture the vector difference $\vec F_{\perp \vec d}=\vec F - \text{proj}_\vec d\vec F $. Which vectors in your picture are orthogonal?
  4. Draw $\text{proj}_\vec F\vec d $, without doing any computations. Make sure you compare with neighbors at some point.
  5. Draw the vector field $\vec F(x,y) = \langle2x+y,x+2y\rangle$. (Based at $(x,y)$, draw the vector $\langle2x+y,x+2y\rangle$.)
  6. Draw the vector field $\vec F(x,y) = \langle y,-x\rangle$.
  7. How much work is done by $\vec F$ through the displacement $\vec d$?
  8. Let $x=2u+3$ and $y=4v-5$. Complete the $u,v,x,y$ table below, and then construct a graph of both $u^2+v^2=1$ (in the $uv$-plane) and the corresponding equation in the $xy$-plane. $$ \begin{array}{c|c|c|c} u&v&x&y\\\hline 0&0&3&-5\\ 1&0&5&-5\\ 0&1&&\\ -1&0&&\\ 0&-1&&\\ \end{array} $$
