Projectile Motion – combination of horizontal motion with constant velocity and vertical motion with
constant acceleration
Angle – a numerical value in degrees expressing the orientation of a projectile to be thrown/projected
Maximum height – the maximum vertical distance from the earths a projectile can reach
Elastic collision – two objects that bumped into each other and went apart
Inelastic collision – two objects that bumped into each other and stuck together
*When a projectile rises the vertical velocity decreases because the direction gravity is opposite to the
projectile motion
*When the projectile reaches the maximum height is momentarily stops causing a vertical velocity equal
to zero
*When the projectile returns back to the ground the vertical velocity increases
Conservation of Momentum
Law of Conservation – in a closed and isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before and
after the collision are equal
Newtons 3rd Law of Motion – for every action, there is an equal yet opposite reaction
Mass – reflects the amount of matter an object contains
Weight – refers to the force gravity applies to an object
Collision – is an encounter between two objects resulting in exchange of impulse and momentum
Elastic Collision – one in which the total kinetic energy if the does not change and colliding objects
bounce after collision
Inelastic Collision – one in which the total kinetic energy of the system changes. Objects that stick
together after collision is said to be perfectly inelastic
Kinetic Energy:
KE = ½ mv2
M = mass
V = velocity
Conservation of Mechanical Energy –the total mechanical energy of an isolated system remains
the same

Sample Problem:
1.) An object is moving horizontally at 80 m/s on a cliff that is 50 m. high
a) Time of flight?
b) Displacement or range?
Given: Formula:
Y-Vertical X-Horizontal
Dy = Viyt + ½ (Ay) t2
Dy = -50 m Vx = 80 m/s
Ay = -9.8 m/s2 Dx = Dx = (Vx)(t)
Viy = 0m/s T=?
T=?
Solution: Dx = (Vx)(t)
Dy = Viyt + ½ (Ay) t
-50 m = ½ (Ay) t Dx = (80 m/s)(3.19s)
-50 m = (.5) (9.8 m/s2) t2
Dx = 255.2m
-50 m = -4.9 m/s2 t2
−50 m 2
2 =t
−4.9 m/s
10.20s2 = t2
3.19 = t
Sample Problem:
1.) A rock was dropped on top of the building and hits the ground after 5 seconds. What Is the
height of the building
Given:
Formula and Solution:
T=5s
Dy = Viyt + ½ (Ay) t2
Viy = 0 m/s
Dy = (0 m/s)(5s) ½ (Ay) t2
Ay = -9.8 m/s2
Dy = (.5)(-9.8 m/s2)(5s)2
Dy = ?
Dy = (-4.9 m/s2)(25 s2)
Dy = 122.5 m
Sample Problem:
A baseball player leads off the game and hits along home run. The ball leaves the bat at an angles of 25
degrees with a velocity of 30 m/s.
Given: Formula:
Vi – 30 m/s
θ- 25 degrees (Vi)( sinθ)
Dy = ¿ ¿ Dx = (Vi)(cosθ)(t) tT = (2)
G – 9.8 m/s2 (constant) g
Solution 1 : Solution 2:
a)What is the maximum height reached by the ball b)What is the horizontal displacement
dy = ¿ ¿ (range) of the ball?
(30 m/s )(sin 25 °)

19.6 m/s 12.678 m/s
tT = (2) 2
dy = 8.20 m 9.8 m/ s
tT = 2.59 s
Solution 3:
Dx = 70.42 m
*The object that experience a greater impulse is the one that has the greater change in momentum
Sample Problem:
Two ice skaters stand together. They “push off” and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a
velocity of 1.50 m/s. If the boy weighs 735 N and the girl, 490 N, what is the girl’s velocity after they push
off (Consider the ice to be frictionless)
Wgirl = 490 N
Pfinal = Mboy = 75 kg Mgirl = 50 kg
-mboyvboy = mgirlvgirl
Updated Given:
Formula:
B GPE = mgh
TE = PE + KE
C Solution 1:
GPE = (0.1)(9.8)(10)
GPE = 9.8 J
Solution 2:
TE = 9.8 J + 0
TE = 9.8 J
For 8m height
Given:
Mass = 0.1 kg
G = 9.8 m/s2
H = 8m
Solution 1:
GPE = (0.1)(9.8)(8)
GPE = 7.84 J
Solution 2:
9.8 J = 7.84 J + KE
9.8 J - 7.84 J = KE
KE = 1.96 J
What is the efficiency of a gasoline engine that receives 192.75 J of energy from combustion and loose
125.25 J by heat to exhaust during one cycle?
Given:
Qc = 125.25 J
Qh = 192.75 J
Solution:
125.25 J
