    The document discusses two dimensional motion including projectile motion which describes objects moving in a curved path under the influence of gravity only, having independent horizontal and vertical motions, and following a parabolic trajectory. It provides details on the mathematics and terminology of projectile motion including range, maximum height, time of flight, and examples of solving related problems.

    Two Dimensional Motion

    Two Dimensional Motion


    One Dimensional Motion –
    Describes Motion in a straight line
    Two Dimensional Motion – Describes,
     Motion in a Curved Path
    (Circular Motion and Projectile Motion)
     Two Dimensional Force Vectors
    (Equilibrant Vector and Inclined Planes)
    Projectile Motion
    A Projectile is anything thrown, shot
    or dropped into the air
    Any object following a curvilinear path
    given with an initial velocity in which
    the only force acting is gravity.
    Projectile Motion is a combination of
    two independent motions
    1. Horizontal Motion (x-motion)
    2. Vertical Motion (y-motion)

    Projectile Motion

    TRAJECTORY
    is the curvilinear path followed by any
    object under projectile motion
    Notes in Projectile Motion
    Projectiles travel in parabolic
    trajectory due to the influence of
    gravity
    There is no horizontal forces acting
    upon projectiles, thus, no horizontal
    acceleration
    The horizontal velocity of a projectile
    is constant
    Notes in Projectile Motion
    Horizontal motion of a projectile is
    independent of its vertical motion.

    There is a vertical acceleration caused


    by gravity.

    The vertical velocity of a projectile is


    changed by 9.8 m/s each second.

    TIME HORIZONTAL VELOCITY VERTICAL VELOCITY


    Projectile Motion Problems
    There are three types of Projectile
    Motion Problems
    1. Objects shot straight upwards (vX = 0)
    2. Objects shot horizontally
    (half of a parabola)
    3. Objects shot at an angle
    (whole parabola)
    Projectile Motion Terminology
    dX – Range – horizontal distance traveled
    dY – How High the projectile traveled
    vertically
    tH – half time – time the projectile travels
    upward or downward (Bottom to Top or
    Top to Bottom)
    tT – Total time – the total time the
    projectile is in the air
    MATHEMATICS OF
    PROJECTILE MOTION
    Vx= X component of Vi

    Vy= Y component of Vi

    X= Range (Horizontal
    Distance)

    Y= Maximum Height
    (Vertical Distance)

    t= time of flight
    Sample problems:
    1. A stone is thrown horizontally at 15 m/s from
    the top of a cliff measuring 44 m.

    a. How long does the stone take to reach the


    bottom of the cliff?

    b. How far from the base of the cliff does the


    stone strike the ground?
    Sample problems:
    1. A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 4.47
    m/s at an angle of 66⁰ above the horizontal.

    a. How long it took the ball to land?

    b. How high the ball flew?

    c. What was its range?
