Outline • Review of Lecture 4 • Projectile Motion • What do we know? • Units • Kinematic equations • Freely falling objects • Vectors • Kinematics + Vectors = Vector Kinematics • Relative motion
Exam Prep Problem • An object starts from rest at the origin. If the acceleration of the object is given by: • A) (10pts) Give the velocity and displacement of the object, as a function of time. • B) (5pts) What is the object’s velocity and speed at 10s? • C) (5 pts) What is the object’s displacement at 10s? • D) (5 pts) What is the average velocity of the object for the first 10 seconds of motion?

Projectile Motion (displacement) • Projectile motion is a special case of motion with constant acceleration: the acceleration due to gravity • Here, the acceleration is in only one direction! • The equations of motion become:
Projectile Motion (velocity) • We can always find the expression for velocity by differentiating the expression for displacement with respect to time.
Projectile Motion (acceleration) • We can always find the expression for acceleration by differentiating the expression for velocity with respect to time.
Projectile Motion • Problem Solving Strategy • Draw a diagram, choose coordinate system • Split into x, y components of motion • Think about what problem is actually asking! • List unknowns and knowns • Apply relevant equations and solve
Example • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • Find equations of motion • Find ball height as a function of lateral position (y(x)) • Find the Range of the ball (assuming ground is flat) • The time of flight
Example Problem y x Vyo Vxo • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • A) Find equations of motion • Draw diagram and choose coordinate system • Fill in knowns
Example Problem • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • B) Find y(x) • Write out equations • Solve for y(x)
Example Problem y x • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • C) Find Range (distance ball travels before hitting ground) • What does this mean in numbers?
Example Problem (Extra) y x • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • C+) Find the θ for maximum Range • What does this mean in numbers?
Example Problem y x • Say I hit a golf ball with initial velocity vo at an angle of θº. • D) Find time of flight (time ball travels before hitting ground) • What does this mean in numbers?
Projectile Motion • For a typical projectile motion problem, we can think about the object motion in component form.
Example Problem • A punter, on average, can give the football an initial velocity of 27m/s. The Cowboy’s new $1.2 Billion stadium has a scoreboard 90ft (27.5m) off the ground. What is the minimum angle required for an average punt to hit the scoreboard? • Find initial y-velocity required to hit scoreboard
Example Problem • A punter, on average, can give the football an initial velocity of 30m/s. The Cowboy’s new $1.2 Billion stadium has a scoreboard 90ft (27.5m) off the ground. What is the minimum angle required for an average punt to hit the scoreboard? • What is angle?
The Speed Bus • OK, so we know: • DRAW DIAGRAM!! • Determine knowns • Pick Equations
Speed Bus with Magic Launch • OK, so we know new • DRAW DIAGRAM!! • Determine knowns • Pick Equations
Example (Rescue Helicopter) • Helicopter wants to drop supplies on mountain top 200m below. Helicopter flying horizontally at 70m/s • A) How far in advance (horizontal distance) should the package be dropped? • Draw diagram, choose coordinate system • Knowns and unknowns
Helicopter, Part (a) • Divide equations into x and y
Example (Rescue Helicopter) • Helicopter wants to drop supplies on mountain top 200m below, 400m in advance. Helicopter flying horizontally at 70m/s • B) What vertical velocity should the package be given? • Draw diagram, choose coordinate system, time interval • Write out equations
Helicopter, Part (b) • Divide equations into x and y
