OBJECTIVES:

• Capture a full trajectory of projectile

motion on an inclined surface.
• Investigate the relationships
between the projection angle, the
height, the range, and time of travel
of a projectile.

II. Linear Motion Down an Inclined

A ball rolling straight down an

incline has a velocity that is
increasing as the object moves
downward, and an acceleration
that is constant and downward.

Q10. Describe the trajectory for horizontally- fired
projectiles along an incline. Sketch the trajectory.
 The trajectory is a curve down parabola.
Q11. Describe the shape of trajectory for projectiles
fired at angles along an incline. Sketch the trajectory.
 They are all in parabolic shape facing downward.
Q12. Compare the location of the trajectory peaks in
term of maximum height, hmax reached.
 The trajectories do not have the same locations of
peaks and heights.
Q13. Compare the horizontal distances, x (range)
reached when they return to the elevation from which
they where projected.
 The trajectories have different horizontal distances
(range) reached, some range are quiet close.

Q14. Among the trajectories of projectiles fired at
angles, for the same launching velocity which covered
the greatest range (horizontal distance in the x-axis)?
 The trajectory fired at 45⁰ covered the greatest
range.
Q15. Among the trajectories of the projectiles fired at
angles, for the same time launching speed, which
recorded the highest peak.
 The trajectory with the greatest launching angle (75⁰
) recorded the highest peak.
Q16. Which pairs of trajectories have range that are
almost equal?
 Trajectories at 15⁰ and 75⁰ have a close ranges
while trajectories at 30⁰ and 60⁰ also have the close
ranges although these are longer than the common
range for 15⁰ and 75⁰.
