ProjectileAny object upon which the only force acting

Projectile-Any object upon which the only force acting on is gravity!

• Neglecting air resistance- all objects fall with the same acceleration. • Two objects of different weights, dropped from the same height, hit the ground at the same time.

• A horizontally launched object will reach the ground in the same time as an object dropped vertically from rest. • The initial horizontal velocity is irrelevant.

Horizontal Vertical Motion Forces No The force of gravity (down) Acceleration No Velocity Constant Yes "g" is downward at -9. 8 m/s 2 Changing by -9. 8 m/s each second

All projectiles follow a parabolic path

• Horizontal Motion – Constant, no acceleration. • Vertical Motion – Free fall, acceleration due to gravity.

A horizontally launched projectile The x-component of the velocity never changes

Which hits the ground first?

Given the initial horizontal and vertical velocities you can find the total velocity ( speed and direction. )

A motorcycle daredevil is attempting to jump across as many buses as possible. The takeoff ramp makes an angle of 180 above the horizontal, and the landing ramp is identical to the takeoff ramp. Each bus is 2. 74 m wide. The cyclist leaves the ramp with a speed of 33. 5 m/s. What is the maximum number of buses over which the cyclist can jump?

Air Resistance

Both car and ball have the same horizontal velocity link

Two assumptions: 1. Free-fall acceleration 1. g is constant. 2. Air resistance is negligible. ØThe path of a projectile is parabolic. ØThe initial velocity is vi ØThe launched angle is ØVelocity vector changes in magnitude and direction ØAcceleration in y-direction (vertical) is g ØAcceleration in x-direction (horizontal) is 0

Superposition of motion in x-direction and motion in y-direction Acceleration in x-direction is 0. (Constant velocity) Acceleration in y-direction is g. (Constant acceleration) The horizontal motion and vertical motion are independent of each other; that is, neither motion affects the other.

Relative Motion Moving frame of reference A boat heading due north crosses a river with a speed of 10. 0 km/h. The water in the river has a speed of 5. 0 km/h due east. a. Determine the velocity of the boat. b. If the river is 3. 0 km wide how long does it take to cross it?

Displacement vs. time d (m) If position is recorded, a parabolic d - t graph is formed. d - displacement t - time t (s)

Velocity vs. Time v (m/s) d(m) 0 0 t (s) If the velocity is recorded, a v-t linear graph is formed. v - velocity t - time t (s)

Find the horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity. Carl Lewis at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, Lewis won gold medals for the long jump (28 feet 5. 5 inches), this resulted from an initial velocity of 9. 5 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal.
