MOTION IN TWO DIMENSION

PROJECTILE MOTION
 OBJECTIVES:
•Describe the uniformly accelerated
motion qualitatively and
quantitatively
•Describe projectile motion
qualitatively and quantitatively
•Label a diagram illustrating
projectile motion by indicating the
range, height, trajectory, initial
horizontal velocity, and initial
vertical velocity

 FREE FALL MOTION
Motion solely under the influence of gravity
Water droplets are falling from the faucet.
The water moves under the influence of:
Gravity
Air resistance
Other forces

This show FREE FALL MOTION!

Sky diver falls rapidly from the sky.
The sky diver moves under the influence of:
Gravity
Air resistance
Other forces

This show FREE FALL MOTION!

The elevator going down.
The elevator moves under the influences of:
Gravity
Air resistance
Other forces

Not free fall motion

The basketball moves under the influence of:

Gravity
Air resistance
Other forces

Projectile motion
PROJECTILE MOTION
Motion that happens when object is
launched to air, and ONLY acceleration due to
GRAVITY AFFECTS IT.

Note: any object launched into the air is

called “PROJECTILE”

 PARTS OF PROJECTILE MOTION
1.Projectile this refers to the object being
launched.
2.Launch Angle
3.Trajectory = parabolic path of projectile
4.Range
5.height
Projectile motion
PROJECTILE MOTION
Horizontal Motion Vertical Motion
(x –components) (y – components)
 V0x – Initial Horizontal Velocity
Vfx – Final Horizontal Velocity
dx – horizontal distance or
range
t – time

Note: no acceleration involve in

Horizontal Component because
GRAVITY only affects the
VERTICAL COMPONENT.
V0y – initial Vertical
velocity
Vfy – Final Vertical
Velocity
dy – Vertical distance
or heights
T – time
g – gravity ( -9.8m/s2)

table with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s.
assume that air resistance is negligible, how
long will it take for the ball to reach the
ground?

2. A ball rolled on the top of a 1.225 m tall
table with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s.
Assume that air resistance is negligible, how
far from the base of the table will the ball
land?
Given:
vox = 2 m/s t = 0.5 s
d0x = 0m dx = ?

Formula:
dx = do + vxt
dx = 0 + vxt
dx = vxt
Given:
vox = 2 m/s t = 0.5 s
d0x = 0m dx = ?

dx = vxt
dx = (2 m/s)(0.5s)
dx = 1m
Let’s sum it up!
•Projectile motion is a combination of
horizontal and vertical uniformly
accelerated motions.
•Horizontal motion component of projectile
motion has zero acceleration and remains
constant throughout the course.
•Vertical Motion components of projectile
motion is like Free Fall Motion.
•Objects motion is solely under the influence
of gravity.
Projectile motion has several important parts

1. Projectile
2. Launched Angle
3. Trajectory
4. Range
5. height
