12: Two Dimensions

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

In the previous chapter, we solved a one-dimensional problem—a penny falling from the Empire State Building. Now we’ll solve a two-dimensional problem—finding the trajectory of a baseball.

To do that, we’ll use spatial vectors to represent quantities in two and three dimensions, including force, acceleration, velocity, and position.
