Projectile Motion
![Page 2: Projectile Motion. What is a PROJECTILE? An object that is projected (launched) It continues in motion due to its own inertia, Is only acted upon by gravity.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d055503460f949d8c7b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is a PROJECTILE?
• An object that is projected (launched)• It continues in motion due to its own inertia, • Is only acted upon by gravity• No force in the x-direction, only in the y-
direction (gravity)• Gravity ALWAYS acts in the y-direction, and
ONLY the y-direction

So Projectile Motion…
• Describes the motion of an object in TWO dimensions
• We will only consider projectiles that stay close to Earth (so ag = -9.8 m/s2)
• We will continue to disregard air resistance

Some Vocabulary…
• PROJECTILE– The object being launched/thrown/projected
• TRAJECTORY– The path that the projectile follows
• RANGE– The horizontal displacement of the projectile
• MAXIMUM HEIGHT– The vertical displacement of the projectile at the
top of its flight

The Components of Projectile Motion - Velocity
• We ALWAYS break projectile motion down into its x- and y-components– INITIAL VELOCITY: vi
• Use cos and sin to find vix and viy
– vix = vicosθ (initial velocity * cos angle)
– viy = visinθ (initial velocity * sin angle) vi
viy
vix

The Components of Projectile Motion - Velocity
• For a baseball lobbed with an initial velocity of 30 m/s and an angle of 75 degrees, find the initial horizontal and vertical velocities.
– Horzontal: x axis– Use cos θ– vix = vi * cos θ
– vix = 30 * cos 75
– vix = 30 * .26
– vix = 7.76 m/s
- Vertical: y axis- Use sin θ- viy = vi * sin θ- viy = 30 * sin 75- viy = 30 * .97 - viy = 29 m/s

The Components of Projectile Motion -Acceleration
• ACCELERATION: Always:– ay = -9.8 m/s2 (vertical acceleration)
– ax = 0 m/s2 (horizontal acceleration)
–Why? Think gravity and Newton’s 1st Law…

Remember Freefall???
• Recall that…– a = -9.8 m/s2, regardless if the object is moving up
or moving down– The ONLY force acting on the object is GRAVITY
• Projectile Motion has the same conditions, and moves in the x-direction simultaneously.

What does this look like?
• For horizontally projected objects:
• For objects projected at an angle:
![Page 10: Projectile Motion. What is a PROJECTILE? An object that is projected (launched) It continues in motion due to its own inertia, Is only acted upon by gravity.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d055503460f949d8c7b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
• The components act INDEPENDENTLY of one another!!!
• When we combine the x- and y-components, we get the characteristic parabola-shape– Vx remains constant (a = 0)
– Vy changes because of gravity (a = -9.8 m/s2)

How do I determine the direction?• If an object is projected at an angle, the
direction is measured from the rightward horizontal

Calculating Projectile Motion - Range
• Use your kinematic equations!
• Range is your horizontal displacement - ∆d
• Remember vx is a constant velocity, so we use:
total
xx t
dv

Projectile Motion – Total Time
• Once you hit the ground, your motion stops!
• Time connects your vertical motion with your horizontal motion.
![Page 14: Projectile Motion. What is a PROJECTILE? An object that is projected (launched) It continues in motion due to its own inertia, Is only acted upon by gravity.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d055503460f949d8c7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
To Calculate Projectile Motion…• We use the kinematic equations• Remember… Δd = vit + ½ at2
– RANGE (x-displacement) uses x-components and total time• Δdx = vixttotal + ½ axttotal
2 = vixttotal
• Remember that a = 0 in the x-direction– HEIGHT (y-displacement) uses y-components• Δdy = viyt + ½ ayt2
• Remember that a = -9.8 m/s2 in the y-direction
![Page 15: Projectile Motion. What is a PROJECTILE? An object that is projected (launched) It continues in motion due to its own inertia, Is only acted upon by gravity.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d055503460f949d8c7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
More on Calculations• ay = (vfy
2 – viy2) / 2Δdy
– (to find max height)
• ay = (vfy – viy) / t – (to find time to max height)
• These only apply in the y-direction (vx doesn’t change)
• ay = -9.8 m/s2 ALWAYS
• Remember, at the top of its path, a projectile’s vy = 0 (so vfy = 0)
