Chapter 5 Net Force and 2D Motion (Projectile Motion)
Quiz Question 1 Suppose you are carrying a ball and running at constant speed, and wish to throw the ball and catch it as is comes back down. Should you: • throw the ball at an angle of about 45° above the horizontal and maintain the same speed. • throw the ball straight up in the air and slow down to catch it • throw the ball straight up in the air and maintain the same speed?
Section 5.2:Projectile Motion The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent! The path of such a projectile can be found by combining its horizontal and vertical position components.
Free Fall • All objects fall with a constant acceleration if… … they are near the Earth’s surface. … they are affected only by gravity. (i.e. air resistance is negligible)
Projectile Motion continued… • The x- and y-directions of motion are independent of each other! • Motion in the x-direction is uniform motion • Motion in the y-direction is free fall
Section 5.3:Analyzing Ideal Projectile Motion Projectile Motion • The object moves in both the x and y directions simultaneously • Object will follow the path of a parabola!
Projectile Motion continued… • Simply apply our kinematic equations to each component of motion
Projectile Motion continued.. • Thekinematic equations become…
Projectile Motion continued… Notice that..
Typical Homework/Exam Problem… Approach: 1. Break problem into x & y components 1 (2D) problem -> 2 (1D) problems 2. Use 1D Kinematic Equations
i.e. problem Tom the cat is chasing Jerry the mouse across the surface of a table 1.5 m above the floor. Jerry steps out of the way at the last second, and Tom slides off the edge of the table at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Where will Tom strike the floor, and what velocity components will he have just before he hits?
Quiz Question 2 As a projectile moves in its parabolic path, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other • everywhere along the projectile’s path • at the peak of its path • nowhere along its path • not enough information is given
i.e. problem An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 55.0º above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explodes on a mountainside 42.0 s after firing. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the shell where it explodes, relative to the firing point?
