  1. Projectiles Physics 2010

  2. Projectile Motion • Free-fall with an initial horizontal velocity (assuming we ignore any effects of air resistance) • The curved path that an object follows when thrown or launched near the surface of Earth is called a trajectory

  3. Projectiles • Any object that is thrown or launched into the air and are subject to gravity • Projectiles follow perfect parabolic trajectories when air resistance is neglected

  4. Horizontal Motion of a Projectile • Constant when air resistance is neglected • At any point in a projectile’s path, horizontal velocity is the same initial horizontal velocity

  5. Vertical Motion of a Projectile • Acceleration is a constant -9.81 m/s2 • At the peak of a projectile’s path, vertical velocity is zero

  6. Projectile Motion • The horizontal and vertical components of motion are completely independent of one another.

  7. Summary…

  8. Old Equations

  11. Sally throws a ball off the edge of a 15.0 m tall cliff. She throws it horizontally at 8.0 m/s. c. Determine how fast it is moving vertically when it hits the ground.

  12. Sally throws a ball off the edge of a 15.0 m tall cliff. She throws it horizontally at 8.0 m/s. d. Determine what its total velocity is when it hits the ground.

  13. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a 22.0 meter high hill and lands 35.0 m from the edge of the hill. • Determine the initial horizontal velocity of the soccer ball.

  14. A rifle is fired horizontally from a platform 10 m above level ground. The muzzle velocity of the gun is 500 m/s. • How far downrange will the bullet hit the ground?

  16. Projectiles Launched at an Angle Physics 2010

  17. Horizontal Component of Projectile Motion

  18. Vertical Componentof Projectile Motion

  19. Projectile Launched at an Angle

  20. When launched at an angle… The launch velocity of the projectile needs to be split up into its component parts for analysis purposes. Note: the initial vertical velocity is no longer zero!!!

  21. When launched at an angle… Initial velocity analysis: V Vyi = V sinθ Vxi = Vcosθ These values can now be used in the kinematic equations…

  22. Old Equations

  23. You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. a. How high will it go?

  24. You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. b. How much time does it spend in the air?

  25. You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. c. How far away from you will it hit the ground?

  26. You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. d. What is the ball’s velocity when it hits the ground?

  27. A golf ball is hit with a velocity of 24.5 m/s at 35.0 degrees above the horizontal. a. Find the range of the ball.

  28. A golf ball is hit with a velocity of 24.5 m/s at 35.0 degrees above the horizontal. b. Find the maximum height of the ball.

  29. A player kicks a football from ground level at 27.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. a. Find its “hang time” (time that the ball is in the air).

  30. A player kicks a football from ground level at 27.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. b. Find the distance the ball travels before it hits the ground.

  31. A player kicks a football from ground level at 27.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. c. Find its maximum height.

  32. Example: You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. • One dimensional motion equations still apply. • You will need to resolve the initial velocity into its x- and y-components to separate the horizontal from the vertical motion. • Always keep the horizontal information separate from the vertical information in the problem.
