7. Projectile Motion
Projectile – objects that are thrown or launched into the air ( have an initial velocity) and are subject to gravity.
Examples: bullet, missile, basketball shot, a long jumper, car, etc…
Treat 2-D motion problems as two separate 1-D motion problems.

14. Worksheet 2 Answers 1a. b. c. tfall = 0.77s and Δx = 7.7m Vx= 10m/s 3mFN Fg Fg
c. tfall = 0.77s and Δx = 7.7m

15. Worksheet 2 Answers
2a. tfall = 1.09s, Vx = 4.59m/s b. Vfx = 4.59m/s and Vfy= -10.9m/s c. Vfy = 11.8m/s
Vx= ? 6m
Vx=4.59m/s 5m
Vy=-10.9m/s
V=11.8m/s
