projectile motion
is a form of motion where an object given an initial velocity
is thrown or projected and is allowed to be acted on by
gravity in a curved-like path.
A paraglider stays in the air because of air resistance. The
wind pushes against the paraglider and creates the force.
Vertical
Motion of a freely falling object.
Force due to gravity
Vertical component of velocity changes with time.
factors affecting projectile
motion
What two factors would affect projectile
motion?
Initial Velocity
Angle
Height of a Projectile
H= maximum height (m )
v o =initial velocity ( m/s )
g = acceleration due to gravity ( 9.80 m/s )
2
R = horizontal range ( m )
vo = initial velocity ( m/s )
2
g = acceleration due to gravity ( 9.80 m/s )
θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal
plane (radians or degrees )
Time of flight of a Projectile
Horizontal projectiles
are easiest to work with
Only formula used is
X= ut
horizontal
Projectile
An object in free fall will
accelerate at 9.81 meters per
second squared downwards.
When investigating the trajectory
of a projectile we can look at the
horizontal motion and the vertical
motion separately.
horizontal Projectile
In the horizontal direction, there are no external forces.
Therefore, there is no acceleration. Velocity in the horizontal
direction is constant. This is because all horizontal velocity
vectors have same magnitude.
In the vertical direction, the only force acting on the projectile
is gravity. Therefore the object will accelerate at a rate of 9.81
meters per second squared downwards. The vertical velocity
vectors increase in magnitude as the projectile continues to
move along its trajectory.
Trajectory of a Projectile
Trajectory of a Projectile
y = vertical position ( m )
x= horizontal position ( m)
v = initial velocity ( combined components m/s )
g = acceleration due to gravity ( 9.80 m/s )
θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane
(radians or degrees )
