1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1. Motion in Space
Motion consists of three characteristics, which is velocity, speed, and acceleration. (⃗ () , ⃗
(), and ( (�) are the velocity, speed, and acceleration of a particle, respectively. All the
following information may be applied to either plane or space curves.

In addition, for your knowledge, velocity is a vector while speed is a scalar.

1.2. Projectile Motion

Projectile motion is an object moving with an initial velocity but with no forces acting on it
other than gravity. An object can travel both horizontally and vertically at the same time.

When both velocity and acceleration are known, vector integrals can be used to recover
them. If the force acting on the particle is known, Newton's Second Law of Motion, ⃗ (�)
= ⃗ (�), can be used to calculate the acceleration.

Term and Formula Definition

⃗ 0 The initial velocity
� Angle of elevation of the projectile
�0 The initial position of object from the
ground

�0 The initial height of the object

2.0 CASE STUDY

2.1 Situation
In my case study, I have chosen Cricket sports as an application of projectile motion. In
this sports, the player who batting the ball is called The Batsman. This thought came to
me suddenly as I was looking at a player. At an initial speed of 80 m/sec, a batsman hits
a ball 30 degrees above the horizontal. The batsman stands at a height of 190cm. I am
curious about the projectile's position vector at time t. Aside from that, by looking at the
ball, I would like to know what the ball's maximum height could reach. Therefore, what is
the initial speed of the ball if the batsman hits it 35 degrees above the horizontal and it
takes 10 seconds to hit the ground?

2.2 Problem Statement

i. The position vector of projectile at time t.

ii. The maximum height the ball can reach.

iii. The initial speed of the ball when the batter hits a ball at a 35° above the
horizontal for 10 seconds to hit the ground.

3.0 MATHEMATICAL WORK

i. The initial speed, �ₒ=80m/s

� (t) = (vₒ cos a) ti + [(vₒ sin a) t - ��2+h]

(t) = (80 cos 30) ti + [(80 sin 30) t - 8 82+1.9]

9.
(t) = 69.2820ti + [40t – 4.9�2+1.9]

ii. Maximum height is reached when the � component of (′ (�) is zero.

(′ (�) = 69.2820i + [40 8

−9.8]

40−9.8 = 0 → � = 40/9.8 = 4.082

Let 8
Maximum height, � (4.082):
