Section 1.1 Receagular Components: Falling Ball § Rectangular Components: \ Falling Ball \ L.1-1 Introduction [I] Imagine that you throw a ball with an intial velocity [2-5]. The velocity and the position of the bal at ime t= | sec can be calculated as follows. In X-direction, the velocity component is constant, Vg = V9 C080 (5 mis)(cos45") = 3.54 mis 0 and the position is X = (v,co80}t= (5 mis)(cos45")(1s) = 3.54 m @ In Yedirection, the velocity component is ¥y = Ye sind — gt = (5 ris)(sin4S")— (9.81 vs?) 5) =-627 mls @ and the position is ' 1 Y= (vse = (5 mss 8)= 54981 mis?) 2)? = 1.37 m 6 ‘These values are shown in (6,7). In this section, well perform a simulation for this scenario and validate the simulation results with the values in Eqs. (1-4). tis | (2) The ball has a diameter of 20 em. [3] The bal is thrown with an initial velocity which has a magnitude of § mis and an angle of elevation of 45° [4] The ball is subjected toa [6] After | sec, the ball moves to this position [5] Well use this z x=354'm conrane » coordinate system cae Y= -137m 981 m/s downward. vy =3.54 mis [7]Ator I see the ball has & velocity, -354 m/s and Wy 2627 m/s z 3Section L1 Rectangubr Components-Faling Ball 6 1.1-2 Launch SolidWorks and Create a New Part —— [1] Launch SolidWorks.

I.I-2) text boxes are ordered with numbers, each of which is enclosed by a pai of, square brackets (eg. [I]). When you read the contents ofa subsection, please follow the order ofthe text boxes. 2. The text box numbers are also used as reference numbers, In the same subsection, we simply refer to a text box by its number (eg. [1]). From other subsections, we refer to a text box by it subsection identifier and the text box umber (eg. I.1-2[1D. 3. A text box is either round-cornered (eg. [,3,5]) or sharp-cornered (eg. [2,4]). A round-cornered box indicates that mouse or keyboard actions are needed in that step. sharp-cornered box is used for commentary onl ie mouse or keyboard actions are not needed in that step. 4. A symbol # is used to indiate the last text box ofa subsection, so that you don't leave out any text boxes.
