    Projectile Motion

    A motion of a body thrown horizontally or at an


    angle other than 90 with the horizontal
    A Question to Begin
     At the instant a horizontally pointed cannon ball is fired, a
    cannonball held at the cannon’s side is released and drops
    to the ground. Which cannonball strikes the ground first,
    the one fired from the cannon or the one dropped?
    What is a Projectile?
     Any object that continues in motion by its own inertia and is
    influenced only by the downward force of gravity (and air
    resistance)

    - an object dropped from rest is a projectile

    - an object thrown straight upward is a projectile

    - an object thrown upward at an angle to the horizontal


    The path that the projectile
    follows is a parabola…
    the path is called its trajectory
    Horizontal Motion
     If there is no force acting on an object, then it will
    continue moving at a constant speed in the same direction.

    - there will be no change in its velocity

    - distance will increase the same amount with each second


    Free Fall Revisited
     An object in free fall is only acted on by gravity

    - Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2

    – distance covered increases with each second


    Projectile Motion Combines
    Vertical Motion and Horizontal
    Motion
     The vertical motion of a projectile is not affected by its
    horizontal motion

    -meaning: The vertical motion of a projectile is identical to


    an object in free fall
     The horizontal motion of a projectile is not affected by its
    vertical motion

    - meaning the projectile will travel the same horizontal


    distance as it would if it were simply rolling on a flat
    surface in the absence of friction
    Projectile Motion Combines Horizontal
    Motion and Vertical Motion

    The vertical and horizontal


    motion of a projectile are
    independent of each other
    Horizontal Path Without Gravity
    Vertical Path
    Projectile Motion
    Projectiles follow a parabolic
    trajectory
    Horizontal component along
    trajectory remains unchanged.
    Acceleration only occurs in the
    vertical component
    Projectile Motion and
    Complementary Angles
    Different launch angles result in different horizontal
    distances traveled by the projectile
     Same range is obtained from two different launching angles when the
    angles add up to 90°.
     Object launched at an angle of 60 has the same range as if it were thrown at an
    angle of 30.
    - What launch angle would have the same range as a projectile
    launched at 20o?
    Projectile Calculations
    For Projectiles Launched horizontally
    Horizontal Distance
    d = v(t)

    Horizontal Velocity
    vf = vi + at

    Vertical Distance
    d = vit + ½ gt2

    Vertical Velocity
    Vf = Vi + gt

    Review
    At the instant a horizontally pointed cannon ball
    is fired, a cannonball held at the cannon’s side is
    released and drops to the ground. Which
    cannonball strikes the ground first, the one fired
    from the cannon or the one dropped?
    They hit at the exact same time
    Draw vector arrows representing the vx and vy velocity components
    during the course of the motion. The length of the arrows should
    represent the magnitude of the velocity components.
