Projectile Motion FThe path that a moving object follows is called its trajectory. FProjectile motion involves the trajectories and velocities of any object that has been launched, shot, or thrown.

a)Yes. b)No. c)Maybe. a)Yes. b)No. c)Maybe. The coyote would not go straight horizontally, pause, and then fall straight down. You see unrealistic trajectories all the time in media. Can you think of any others?

R ULES There are only a few rules we have to follow: All projectiles are freefalling vertically with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s 2 downwards Horizontal motion is totally unaffected by gravity! Since there are no forces acting on it, a falling object’s horizontal velocity is constant!

V ISUALIZING P ROJECTILES first enter vectors focus on v x v x is constant the whole flight!

V ISUALIZING P ROJECTILES first enter vectors focus on v x focus on v y v y decreases as it rises! by how much per second? no v y at the top!

H ORIZONTAL P ROJECTILES Horizontal motion is constant – there is no acceleration Only formula used in horizontal (x) direction is: v x = d x / t constant speed!
12
H ORIZONTAL P ROJECTILES Horizontal projectiles are not thrown up or down. They are moving horizontally and falling vertically The only initial velocity is in the x direction Vertical velocity (v y ) is gained by freefall v iy = 0 since v iy is in freefall, a = -9.8 m/s 2

HORIZONTAL PROJECTILE pg 288 1.A rock is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff at a constant speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the horizontal & vertical positions of the rock after each second and place these positions in the table below. Assume the rock is freefalling from rest.

ANGLED PROJECTILE pg 289 A rock is thrown at an angle of 30° from the top of a cliff. Calculate the horizontal & vertical positions of the rock after each second and place these positions in the table below.

Hitting a Target If the rifle is fired directly at the target in a horizontal direction, will the bullet hit the center of the target? Does the bullet fall during its flight? If the rifle is fired directly at the target in a horizontal direction, will the bullet hit the center of the target? Does the bullet fall during its flight?
21
start by drawing a picture: E XAMPLE A person decides to fire a rifle horizontally at a bull’s-eye. The speed of the bullet as it leaves the barrel of the gun is 890 m/s. He’s new to the ideas of projectile motion so doesn’t aim high and the bullet strikes the target 1.7 cm below the center of the bull’s-eye. What is the horizontal distance between the rifle and the bull’ s-eye? label the explicit givens with subscript. Ex: d x or d y
22
givens (separate by direction): E XAMPLE What is the horizontal distance between the rifle and the bull’ s-eye? unknown: XY horizontal displacement

Use t and v x to solve for d x E XAMPLE
