In the frame of reference of the cart, the ball only has a verticalvertical component of velocity. So it goes up and comes back down. To a ground observer, both the cart and the ball have the same horizontal velocitysame horizontal velocity, so the ball still returns into the cart.
4-2 Projectile Motion: Basic Equations
Assumptions:
• ignore air resistance
• g = 9.81 m/s2, downward
• ignore Earth’s rotation
If y-axis points upward, acceleration in x-direction is zero and acceleration in y-direction is -9.81 m/s2
4-2 Projectile Motion: Basic Equations
The acceleration is independent of the direction of the velocity:
4-2 Projectile Motion: Basic Equations
These, then, are the basic equations of projectile motion:
4-3 Zero Launch Angle
Launch angle: direction of initial velocity with respect to horizontal
4-3 Zero Launch Angle
In this case, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero. Here are the equations of motion, with x0 = 0 and y0 = h:

Both balls have the same same verticalvertical velocity velocity when they hit the ground (since they are both acted on by gravity for the same time). However, the “fired” ball also has a horizontal velocity. When you add the two components vectorially, the “fired” ball has “fired” ball has a larger net velocitya larger net velocity when it hits the ground.

4-4 General Launch Angle
In general, v0x = v0 cos θ and v0y = v0 sin θ

The flight time is fixed by the motion in the y-direction. The higher an object goes, the longer it stays in flight. The shell hitting submarine #2 goes less high, therefore it stays in flight for less time than the other shell. Thus,
submarine #2 is hit first.

A steeper angle lets the projectile stay in the air longer, but it does not travel so far because it has a small x-component of velocity. On the other hand, a shallow angle gives a large x-velocity, but the projectile is not in the air for very long. The compromise comes at 45°, although this result is best seen in a calculation of the “range formula” as shown in the textbook.
