EXPLAIN
The displacement d and velocity v are vector quantities. Projectile motion can be
understood by analyzing the horizontal and the vertical components of the displacement and
velocity which add as vectors.
Recall that vectors are quantities with magnitude and direction. And any vector can be
represented by vector arrow, the length of which corresponds to the magnitude, while the arrow
point in the direction of the vector quantity.
For a horizontally projected object, the displacement and velocity vector both have
magnitude and direction that you can separate into components:
x
horizontal components Eq. 1 d H =x=v x t Eq. 2 v H =v x =
t

and vertical components Eq. 3 d v =h= a g t Eq. 4 v v =v y a g t

Table of Kinematic Equations for Projectile Motion
Vertical displacements and velocities are taken positive upward and negative downward
from the point of release vag = 9.8 m/s2 , downward.
A projectile launched horizontally (as shown on the figure above) has no initial vertical
velocity. The velocity downward increases uniformly due to gravity. The horizontal velocity is
uniform or constant. For a projectile, beginning and ending at the same height, the time it takes
a projectile to rise to its highest point equals the time it takes to fall from the highest point back
to its original position.

Sample Problem 2
A soccer ball is kicked at ground level with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees to the
horizontal. How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground?
Choose the kicking point as origin. When the soccer ball reaches the ground again, the
change in vertical displacement y is 0. To break the problem into workable parts, determine
first initial horizontal component vix = (20.0 cos 45°) m/s = 14.1 m/s; and the initial vertical
component viy = (20.0 sin 45°) m/s = - 14.1 m/s.
And because the final vertical position yf is at the same elevation as the initial yi, the final
vertical component vfy is -14.1 m/s but will be at 45° below the x- axis which is perpendicular to
the initial direction.
Using the concept of acceleration, you can solve for the total time using the equation
m
−14.1 −14.1 m/ s
v fy −v iy s
t= = =2.9 s
g −9.8 m/ s2

Directions: Read the tips below on “How to become a three-pointer shooter on Basketball” and
answer the guide questions that follow.

Since moving basketball is in projectile motion, it is much recommended that 90° angle
of the elbow must be used whenever an athlete wishes to score 3 point since it requires more
distance from the ring. Angle of release must be somewhat at 54° in order to have more chance
of probability of shooting even with farther distance.
Guide Questions:
1. Why is shooting at 90° important for having a 3-point shot at basketball?

2. How is the concept of projectile motion on an angle applied on playing basketball? Why is an
angle in projectile motion an important consideration in shooting a ball?

To assure that your opponent cannot catch the volleyball, it is therefore suggested that
the concepts of projectile motion be applied. The launch of the ball depends on the angle of
release and the height of the jump. Lower angle means higher displacement reached while
7
higher angle means lower displacement reached. So, if you want for the ball to reach farther,
serve the ball at the lower angle or if you want the ball to reach it nearer serve the ball at higher
angle.
