Horizontally shot projectiles
2 If you drop a ball straight down and throw a ball sideways at the same time from the same height, which one will hit first or will they hit at the same time?
Projectiles A projectile is: Examples:
Vx = Viy= Viy= __________ m/s
Vx The horizontal speed is ________________ because we:
Viy a becomes a y since a y = __________
Equations Vx = Δy =
Practice Problem A cannon ball is shot off a cliff that is 9 m high. How far away from the base of a cliff will the cannon ball land if it is shot horizontally at 23 m/s? xy SketchG: U: E:
