Chapter 3 Projectile motion Kinematics in Dimensions Two

Projectile Motion Projectile motion is motion in two directions Motion in the x-direction is independent of the y-direction Motion in the y-direction is independent of the x-direction

What is a Projectile? A projectile is any object that is placed into free flight and is being affected by gravity. The path of a projectile is called the trajectory.

Throw The Full Parabola VyVy VxVx The key to the full parabola is symmetry. Try to identify some points of symmetry.

Half Parabola Timing The time of flight of a half parabolic path is equal to that of simply dropping the object from the same height. Horizontal velocity (v x ) has no affect on flight time because it is not affected by gravity.

Initial Velocity Breakdown When an object is launched at some angle, it’s initial velocity (v 1 ) can be broken down into two components. –Horizontal Component (V x ) –Vertical Component (V y ) What shape is formed? Consider also the launch angle (  ). v1v1 v 1y v 1x  Please Note: horizontal and vertical components are independent of one another. The only commonality is time.

Partial Parabola Partial parabolas can be represented by two half parabolas Total hang time is the time of the ½ parabola on the way up plus the time of the ½ parabola on the way down.

The Partial Parabola If you look at this path carefully, you can see two half parabolas, which simplifies things considerably. You still must consider the launch angle and the components of the velocity when trying to solve. 
