Projectile Motion Section 6.1 A projectile can be a football, a bullet, or a drop of water. You can draw a freebody diagram of a launched projectile and identify all the forces that are acting on it. No matter what the object is, after a projectile has been given an initial thrust, if you ignore air resistance, it moves through the air only under the force of gravity. The force of gravity is what causes the object to curve downward in a parabolic flight path. Its path through space is called its trajectory.

Projectile Motion

• When a projectile is launched at an angle, the initial velocity has a vertical component as well as a horizontal component. 

• If the object is launched upward, like a ball tossed straight up in the air, it rises with slowing speed, reaches the top of its path, and descends with increasing speed.

A boy standing on a balcony drops one ball and throws another  with an initial horizontal velocity of 3 m/s. Which of the following statements about the horizontal and vertical motions of the balls is correct? (Neglect air resistance.)

Question 1

Section6.1

• The balls fall with a constant vertical velocity and a constant horizontal acceleration.

• The balls fall with a constant vertical velocity as well as a constant horizontal velocity.

• The balls fall with a constant vertical acceleration and a constant horizontal velocity.

• The balls fall with a constant vertical acceleration and an increasing horizontal velocity.

Section Check

Answer: C

Answer 1

Section6.1

Reason: The vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile are independent. The only force acting on the two balls is force due to gravity. Because it acts in the vertical direction, the balls accelerate in the vertical direction. The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the flight of the balls.

Oct 21­9:53 AM

Section Check

Which of the following conditions is met when a projectile reaches its maximum height?

Question 2

Section6.1

• Vertical component of the velocity is zero.• Vertical component of the velocity is maximum.• Horizontal component of the velocity is maximum.• Acceleration in the vertical direction is zero.

Section Check

Answer: A

Answer 2

Section6.1

Reason: The maximum height is the height at which the object stops its upward motion and starts falling down, i.e. when the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero.

Oct 21­9:53 AM

Equations for Projectile MotionThe equations for Projectile Motion are similar to those with 1­D motion.

The biggest difference is to realize that there are two independent motions occurring simultaneously (horizontal & vertical) 

Because we now have velocities in the x and y directions, it is important for our labeling to clearly specify which we are concerned with.

Equations for Projectile Motion

If you are given an initial velocity and an angle of launch, your first step should be to find the x & y components of the velocity.

vxo = vo cos θ vyo = vo sin θ

The x­ direction is the simpler of the two.  There is nothing accelerating the projectile in the x direction therefore the motion can be summarized by:

 vxo = vx = constant  vx = Δx / Δt

Oct 21­9:53 AM

Equations for Projectile MotionThe y direction is free fall so those equations apply:

Δy = vyo Δt + ½ g Δt 2

vy = vyo + g Δt

vy 2 = vyo 2 + 2 g Δy

Δy = ½ (vyo + vy ) Δt The only idea that links the two motions is time!

Practice Problem• A ball is launched at 4.5 m/s at 66° above the horizontal.  A) What is the maximum height ? B) How long is the ball in the air ? C) How far does the ball travel horizontally?

Oct 21­9:53 AM

Given: vo = 4.5 m/s θ = 66° g = -9.8 m/s2 

vxo = vo cos θ = 4.5 cos 66 = 1.83 m/s

vyo = vo sin θ = 4.5 sin 66 = 4.11 m/s

a) At highest point, vyf = 0 m/s.

vy 2 = vyo 2 + 2 g Δy

0 = (4.11) 2 + 2 (-9.8) Δy

-16.9 = -19.6 Δy

Δy = 0.86 m

Oct 21­9:53 AM

b) The total time in the air is equal to the time up + the time down.

Time up occurs when vy = 0 m/s

vy = vyo + g Δt

0 = 4.11 + -9.8 Δt

-4.11 = -9.8 Δt

Δ tup = 0.42 s

Δt total = 2 x Δ tup = 2(0.42)= 0.84 s

c) How far it travels horizontally is the x direction.

vx = Δx / Δt

1.83 = Δx / 0.84

Δx = 1.54 m
