  1. PHYS16 – Lecture 8 Projectile Motion: Max Range and Height September 24, 2010 Fox Trot by Bill Amend

  2. Agenda • Derive Shoot the Monkey • Derive Max height and Range for Projectile Motion • Outside Demo Day

  3. Derive Shoot the Monkey • If shoot gun and monkey falls from height at the same time, where do I aim gun to hit monkey? (Answer: At monkey) ymonkey v0 θ xmonkey http://physics.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/img149.gif

  4. Derive Shoot the Monkey 1) Find time for bullet to go xmonkey, then solve for bullet’s y position

  5. Derive Shoot the Monkey 2) Find the monkey’s y position at the same time

  6. Derive Shoot the Monkey 3) Set the two positions equal to each other and find out where We should aim our gun… Aim at Monkey!!!

  7. Derive max y & x for Projectile θ xmax http://schools-wikipedia.org/images/189/18902.png

  8. Outside Demo Day

  9. Drop Balls off of Merrill Beach • Objective: to see which balls are the most affected by air resistance • Physics says that in vacuum all balls should fall with the same acceleration and land at the same time, neglecting air resistance

  10. Shoot Water Rockets • Objective: to determine the angle with air resistance that allows for the max distance • Physics says that without air resistance, angle that give max distance is 45 degrees

  11. Sling Shot • Objective: Calculate the initial velocity of a sling shot • Shoot the sling shot only in x then measure where it hit the ground and how long it took it to hit the ground • Initial velocity = distance/time, as long as you neglect air resistance
