HORIZONTAL AND

VERTICAL MOTIONS
OF A PROJECTILE
State the Second Law of Motion by
completing the paragraph
The Law of ________________
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force
is (directly/inversely) proportional to the magnitude of the
net force, in the (same/opposite) direction as the net force,
and (directly/inversely) proportional to the (mass/weight) of
the object.
 Acceleration is defined as the rate of
change in velocity with time. It is a
vector quantity having both magnitude
and direction.

You accidentally drop your bag from

rest off of a cliff, and it hits the ground
6 seconds later. How tall is the cliff?
Example Problem 2
You are riding your motorcycle downtown at a
speed of 30 m/s and you see a red light ahead. You
gently brake over a distance of 100 m and come to a
complete stop. What is your acceleration during this
time?

A ball is thrown at an angle of 60° off

the horizontal, with an initial velocity of
28 m/s. What is the maximum height
the ball will reach?
Example Problem 2
A shell is projected with a velocity of 196 m/s
at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Find
a.The maximum height reached by the shell,
b.The time of flight,
c.Horizontal range
Exercises:
A body is projected with a velocity of 49 m/s at an angle
of 30° with the horizontal. Find
a. The maximum height reached by the body

c. Horizontal range
 A body is projected with a velocity of 98 m/s at an
angle of 60° with the horizontal. Find
a.The maximum height reached by the body
b.Horizontal range
