Mrs. Teresita l.
Baltazar
Teacher
Most Essential Learning Competency:
Investigate the relationship between the angle of release , the height
and the range of the projectile .

Specific Objectives:
1. State the 2 motions of a projectile motion.
2. Describe the horizontal and vertical motions ,
3. solve word problems about horizontally fired projectile
motion.
FACT OR BLUFF
INSTRUCTION: Answer FACT if the statement is correct & BLUFF if
the given statement is incorrect.
1.Horizontal motion is a linear motion along the y-axis with
constant acceleration.
◦ BLUFF
2.Vertical motion is a linear motion along the y-axis with
constant acceleration.
◦ FACT
3. An object moving with the same velocity in a given period of
time has uniformly accelerated motion.
◦ BLUFF
4. An object moving with constant velocity has uniform motion.
◦ FACT
5. An object in free fall has uniformly accelerated motion.
FACT
What does the diagram suggest
about projectile motion?
Projectile motion has 2 dimensions:
1. Horizontal Motion

The horizontal motion is CONSTANT because no gravitational


force acts horizontally.
2. Vertical Motion.
The vertical motion is a free fall with a
◦ CONSTANT DOWNWARD
ACCELERATION due to gravity equal
to 9.8 m/s2.

◦
The Horizontal & vertical motions occur
simultaneously but independent of each other.
1. When an object is projected
horizontally & the other is dropped
vertically on the ground at the
same time, which one will reach
the ground first?
An object projected
horizontally will reach the
ground at the same time as
an object dropped vertically.
No matter how large the
horizontal velocity is, the
downward pull of gravity is
always the same.

 The force acting upon  Motion is NOT acted upon by


in this motion is the gravity
force of gravity
 Neglects air resistance

 Horizontal acceleration is 0.
ax=0m/s2
Vertical velocity is not  There is a constant
constant ( vy ) horizontal velocity (vx)

The vertical distance  We call the horizontal


is called height. ( h=dy) distance as RANGE ( dx)

Guide Questions:
1.How does the height reached by the projectile
affected by the angle of release & the initial
speed of the projectile?
As the angle of release increases with the
horizontal, the height of the projectile also
increases which also increases with increased
initial speed
2. What other factor/s may affect the motion of a
projectile?
Aside from the initial speed and angle of release,
the motion of a projectile is affected by the air
resistance.
Projectiles can be :
1. fired horizontally

2. launched at an angle
1. Horizontally fired projectile

horizontal components
dx= x= vxt vx =dx / t
dy= h= ½ agt2 vy= agt
Sample problem :
1.A cannonball is fired horizontally from a certain
height with a velocity of 1.50m/s. The cannon ball falls
0.70m away from the edge of the mountain where it was
fired.
a. How high is mountain?
b. What is the velocity of the cannon ball before
it hits the ground?
Given: dx=0.70m ,vix=1.50m/s viy=om/s, ag=-9.8m/s2
horizontal components
dx= x= vxt vx =dx / t
vertical components
dy= h= ½ agt2 v y = ag t
Magnitude of the resultant
Velocity v2=vx2 + vy2
Direction of velocity:
θ = tan -1 vy/vx
Sample problem :
1. A cannonball is fired horizontally from a certain
height with a velocity of 1.50m/s. The cannon ball
falls 0.70m away from the edge of the mountain
where it was fired.
a. How high is mountain?
Given: dx=0.70m ,vix=1.50m/s, viy=om/s, ag=-9.8m/s2
Unknown = dy= h ?
Formula : dy= h= ½ agt2 Note : tx=ty
dx= vxt
Solution
0.70m = 1.50m/s (t) t= 0.47 s
1.50m/s 1.50m/s
dy= h= ½ agt2
= ½ (-9.8m/s2) (0.47 s) 2
= 4.9 m/s2 (0.22 s2)
dy= 1.08 m height of the mountain
Sample problem :
1.A cannonball is fired horizontally from a certain height
with a velocity of 1.50m/s. The cannon ball falls 0.70m away
from the edge of the mountain where it was fired.
b. What is the velocity of the cannon ball before
it hits the ground?
Given:dx=0.70m ,vix=1.50m/s viy=om/s, ag=-9.8m/s2
Unknown = vf
Magnitude of the resultant
Velocity v2=vx2 + vy2
Note:
vx= constant , tx=ty
vy= agt = (-9.8m/s2 ) (t= 0.47 s)
vy= 4.61 m/s ( -) motion is downward
v2=vx2 + vy2
v = √vx2 + vy2 = √(1.50 m/s) 2+(4.61m/s) 2
=
√2.25m2/s2 + 21.25m2/s2 ) v=√23.5 m2/s2 v= 4.85 m/s
Solve the given problem in 1 whole intermediate
paper. Round off answers up to 2 decimal places.

A cannonball is fired horizontally from the top of


a cliff that is 50 meters high. The cannonball
travels horizontally for 3 seconds before hitting
the ground. Assuming there is no air resistance,
calculate:
a. The initial velocity of the cannonball.
b. The horizontal distance the cannonball travels
before hitting the ground.
c. The final velocity of the cannonball just before
hitting the ground.
Thank you !
Have a nice day
