Application: Projectile Motion!
ax = 0 and ay = -g
x motion:
y motion:
vx(t) = vxi
x(t) = xi + vxit
y(t) = yi + vyit - ½gt2
vy(t) = vyi - gt

Projectile Motion - Example
A ball rolls off of a shelf 2.20 m high with an initial velocity of 0.75 m/s.
2.20 m
Vix=0.75 m/s
Find how far from the shelf the ball first hits the ground.
Example - Continued
Knowns Unknowns
Vix=0.75 m/s
General strategy: Use TIME as the common denominator between the two dimensions.
X Y X Y
ax=0 m/s
ay =-9.8 m/s2
-2.20 m=∆y
Viy=0 m/s
?=∆x
HERE: Use known Y’s to find time ball takes to fall...find X at that time
Example - Continued
�+=∆ 2
21 attvy i -2.20=0(t) + .5(-9.8)t2
t = +/- 1.49 s--- Choose positive
WHY two solutions?
All falls are parabolic.
We started at top (vx=0)
Two solutions, but only one really happened!
+t-t
Found time for ball to fall.
Example - Continued
Knowns Unknowns
Vix=0.75 m/sTime to FALL is same as time to MOVE in X direction.
So…
X Y X Y
ax=0 m/s
ay =-9.8 m/s2
-2.20 m=∆y
Viy=0 m/s
?=∆x
=+=∆ 2

tatvx xix 0.75(1.49)+1/2(0)(1.49)2
=1.12 m from edge of table
t = 1.49 s SHARED BY X AND Y

Shape of “flight path” is parabola
Eliminate time, t, from y(t) using x(t) withcomponents in terms of initial angle.
