SAT2物理知识：运动与加速度 在物理中，运动与加速度的知识是经常考到的，所以，SAT资料下载的小编为大家整理了相关的知识，想要参加SAT考试的考生，就赶快来学习吧！? If you’ve got the hang of 1-D motion, you should have no trouble at all with 2-D motion. The motion of any object moving in two dimensions can be broken into?x- and?y-components. Then it’s just a matter of solving two separate 1-D kinematic equations. ? ??? The most common problems of this kind on SAT II Physics involve projectile motion: the motion of an object that is shot, thrown, or in some other way launched into the air. Note that the motion or trajectory of a projectile is a parabola. ? ??? If we break this motion into?x- and?y-components, the motion becomes easy to understand. In the?y?direction, the ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of?and experiences a constant downward acceleration of?g?= –9.8?m/s2. This is exactly the kind of motion we examined in the previous section: if we ignore the?x-component, the motion of a projectile is identical to the motion of an object thrown directly up in the air. ? ??? In the?x?direction, the ball is thrown forward with an initial velocity of??and there is no acceleration acting in the?x?direction to change this velocity. We have a very simple situation where??and??is constant. ? ??? SAT II Physics will probably not expect you to do much calculating in questions dealing with projectile motion. Most likely, it will ask about the relative velocity of the projectile at different points in its trajectory. We can calculate the?x- and?y-components separately and then combine them to find the velocity of the projectile at any given point: ? ??? Because??is constant, the speed will be greater or lesser depending on the magnitude of?. To determine where the speed is least or greatest, we follow the same method as we would with the one-dimensional example we had in the previous section. That means that the speed of the projectile in the figure above is at its greatest at positionF, and at its least at position?C. We also know that
