Ball Drop Demo Will the marbles hit at the same time? Why or why not? Will the marbles hit with the same velocity? Why or why not? Which marble is a projectile? Explain.
The motion of a projectile does not depend on the motion • This means we treat the parts of a projectile’s motion
Remember, is the only acting on a • Gravity always acts • There is force
How to find the range • Find the it takes to hit the ground • Exactly the same as for straight and dy = vyit + ½at2 • What is the horizontal ? • The horizontal velocity is • dx = vxt (dx is in the x)
Sample Problem • A cannonball is launched horizontally off a cliff with an initial velocity of 100 m/s. The cannonball takes 12 seconds to land. • How high is the cliff? • What is the vertical velocity of the cannonball when it hits the ground? • What is the horizontal velocity of the cannonball when it hits the ground? • What is the range of the cannonball?
