Projectile Motion • Once a difficult problem for cannoneers • If the vertical and horizontal components are separated, the problem becomes simple.
Projectile Motion • Horizontal – simple as a ball rolling across the table • Use equations like d = v x t
Projectile Motion • Vertical – simple as a free falling gravity problem • Use equations like d=1/2gt2 and A = V/T
Projectile Motion NOTE: Air and other resistance is being ignored for the time being.

Projectile Motion Trajectory • Up to a 45 degree angle – greater distance at greater angle • After 45 degree – greater height, less distance • 45 degree gives the greatest distance • Any two angles that add to 90 degrees will hit the same place
