Projectile Motion :

·
a projectile is any object with only the force of gravity acting on
it

·
fir resistance is ignored
·
&
projectile moves along both horizontally and vertically
·
If the path of an object is curved rather that just a
straight
vertical line , use projective motion equations instead of SoVX-
·
In other words , SUVA equations areuseful when looking at
a 1-Dimensional path , ie when there is no horizontal movement

· For projectile motion on the other hand, there is horizontal movement

as well
 ·
Horizontal velocity of a projectile remains constant
·

Velocity in they-direction changes by 9 8 ms" every second due

.

to the acceleration of gravity

at the
· No velocity in the y-direction very top of the path
because the projectile slows down in order to change direction
P)
 -
When air resistance is
negligible,
horizontal component of projectile's velocity is

constant

 Fundamental ideas of 2D projectile motion :
·
Since force is the only force on a projectile, the
gravitational
acceleration in the -direction is always O and the acceleration
in the y-direction is always 9 8us2 downwards
.

Kinematic variables on one axis are independent of linematic

·

variables on the other axis, except for time In other words

. , time
is the
only variable that is same in both .
 Projectile Motion Code words :
·
"Launched horizontally " or"falls off a flat surface "mean
10 initial vertical velocity

"Highest point in its motion" or "maximum height it reaches" -

the final vertical velocity is Oust at

highest point;
that
horizontal velocity is always the samethough
·
"Range" - the total horizontal displacement
·
If the object lands at the same height it started with
, its vertical
displacement is Om
 Effect of air resistance on projectiles :
Due to air resistance :

·
Maximum height of projectile is lowe
·
Range of projectile is lowe

·
Trajectory no longer symmetric
·

Projectile hits ground at a

steeper angle
·
Magnitude of horizontal component of velocity decreases over time DUE TO AIR RESISTANCE

 & iswrong because the object from
the rising balloon would first go even
higher to its maximum height before
,

falling to the ground. his is because

the object would start with a
vertical velocity equivalent to the
speed of the balloon
⑧
& is
wrong because the object has
to first go up and then down
c is the answer because ie it covers more distance
the object experiences a
constant acceleration of O is wrong because object's final

9 velocity increases since gravity had
more time to make it accelerate
