Projectile Motion
Horizontally Launched ProjectilesProjectiles which have NO upward trajectory and NO
initial VERTICAL velocity.

The amount of time to fall ∆y = the amount of time to travel ∆d
Class Demo: Arrow Launcher
Example: In movies, you often see people jump from one building roof to
another. If a person were to jump from a roof with a speed of 2.5m/s and the roof he wants to land on is 3.5m away and is 4.5m lower than the roof is jumping from, will he make it to the other roof?
Projectiles Launched At An AngleSince the projectile was launched at a
angle, the velocity MUST be broken into components!!!

Projectiles Launched At An Angle
Horizontal Velocity is constant
Vertical Velocity decreases on the way upward
Vertical Velocity increases on the way down,
NO Vertical Velocity at the top of the trajectory.

@ top, Increases down

Vertically Launched ProjectilesThere are several things you must
consider when doing these types of projectiles besides using components.
1. If it begins and ends at ground level, the “y” displacement is ZERO: ∆y = 0
2. The amount of time to go up to ymax is the same time to come down.
3. The velocity Vi that it was launched (speed and direction) is the same when it lands Vf
4. The maximum range is at 45o
5. Complimentary angles give the same range, BUT NOT the same flight time
A place kicker kicks a football with a velocity of 20.0 m/s and at an angle of 53 degrees.
(a) How long is the ball in the air?(b) How far away does it land?(c) How high does it travel?
