    Freefall - Physics

    Uploaded by

    Jericho Aguiatan
    This document discusses concepts related to gravity and projectile motion. It covers Aristotle and Galileo's theories of motion, equations for freely falling objects, sign conventions used to indicate direction in vector quantities like velocity and acceleration, and how projectile motion can be analyzed as the superposition of constant horizontal motion and vertical free fall motion under the influence of gravity. Projectile motion has independent horizontal and vertical components that can be analyzed separately over the common time variable.

    The force of Gravity

    Aristotles theory of motion

    Galileos theory of motion

    Equations for freely falling objects

    SIGN CONVENTIONS

    To indicate directions of vector quantities, (velocity, displacement and


    acceleration), a plus or minus sign is used.

    UP is POSITIVE

    DOWN is NEGATIVE

    The acceleration due to gravity g will always take a negative sign.

    PROJECTILES

    A projectile is an object or a body thrown with an initial velocity and whose


    motion is influenced by the pull of gravity.

    Projectile motion has 2 components:


    a) horizontal
    b) vertical

    Projectile Motion

    When analyzing projectile motion, consider it to be the superposition of two


    motions:

    Constant-velocity motion in the horizontal direction

    Free-fall motion in the vertical direction

    The horizontal and vertical components of a projectiles motion are


    completely independent of each other; time t is the common variable for
    both components.
