1 Projectile Motion Projectile - an object for which the only force acting upon it is gravity. The force of air resistance is negligibly small or nonexistent for a projectile. Horizontal / Vertical Motion Demonstration #1 No horizontal velocity

2 Projectile Motion Projectile - an object for which the only force acting upon it is gravity. The force of air resistance is negligibly small or nonexistent for a projectile. Horizontal / Vertical Motion Demonstration #1 Constant horizontal velocity Horizontal and vertical motions are independent of one another and can therefore be analyzed separately.

3 Projectile Motion Horizontal / Vertical Motion Demonstration #2
Vertically for both balls Horizontal and vertical motions are independent of one another and can therefore be analyzed separately. LoggerPro

4 Horizontal Since there are not any horizontal forces Because of Newton’s First Law Range LoggerPro

5 Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Vertical Uniformly Accelerated Motion

6 Projectile Motion is a combination of:
Constant velocity horizontally Uniformly accelerated motion vertically
