PHYSICS 20 Projectile Motion

PROJECTILE MOTION When an object is thrown into the air it becomes a projectile.

PROJECTILE MOTION When an object is thrown into the air it becomes a projectile. We have already dealt with projectiles when they are thrown vertically upward or dropped This section deals with projectiles Thrown horizontally through the air Thrown into the air at an angle

OVERVIEW The projectile will always have both vertical and horizontal components These two components

OVERVIEW The projectile will always have both vertical and horizontal components These two components are independent of each other except for time of motion (flight time) The time the object travels horizontally is the same as the time the object travels vertically. If we neglect air friction

HORIZONTAL MOTION – IS UNIFORM MOTION Is described by the equation: �v =d t

HORIZONTAL MOTION – IS UNIFORM MOTION Is described by the equation: �v =d t

VERTICAL MOTION – IS UNIFORM ACCELERATED MOTION It is described by the equations: o

VERTICAL MOTION – IS UNIFORM ACCELERATED MOTION It is described by the equations: o d = ½(vi + vf) Δt �d = vit + ½at² o d = vft - ½at² or vf² = vi² + 2 ad �a = v – v f i t Where acceleration is g = 9. 81 m/s²

PROJECTILES – THROWN HORIZONTALLY

PROJECTILES – THROWN HORIZONTALLY

EXAMPLE PROBLEM An object is thrown horizontally at a velocity of 20. 0 m/s

EXAMPLE PROBLEM An object is thrown horizontally at a velocity of 20. 0 m/s from the top of a building 50. 0 m tall. How far from the base of the building did the object hit the ground? Write down what you know What are we asked to find? How are we going to do that?

EXAMPLE PROBLEM - SOLUTION Use d = vit + ½at² to find t for

EXAMPLE PROBLEM - SOLUTION Use d = vit + ½at² to find t for the vertical component What does that tell us? Then use d=vt to find horizontal distance once you know t! HOW DID YOU GUYS KNOW? BRILLIANCE I GUESS!!!
