1. Part 1. Motion of Objects Projected Horizontally

2. Introduction Projectile Motion:
Motion through the air without a propulsion
Examples:

3. Projectile Motion
Keep it simple by considering motion close to the surface of the earth for the time being
Neglect air resistance to make it simpler

4. Projectiles
A projectile has only one force acting upon - the force of gravity
Examples: golf, soccer ball, bullet, rock dropped, javelin thrower …

5. Factors Influencing Projectile Trajectory
Trajectory: the flight path of a projectile
Angle of projection
Projection speed
Relative height of projection
Trajectory: the flight path of a projectile
Three factors influence the trajectory of a projectile: the angle of projection, the projection speed, and the relative height of projection.
Understand how these factors interact is useful within the context of a sport both for determining how to best project balls and other implements and for predicting how to best catch or strike projected balls.

6. Factors Influencing Projectile Trajectory
Angle of Projection
General shapes
Perfectly vertical
Parabolic
Perfectly horizontal
Implications in sports
Air resistance may cause irregularities
The angle of projection and the effects of air resistance govern the shape of a projectile’s trajectory.
Angle of Projection: the direction at which a body is projected with respect to the horizontal
In the absence of air resistance, the trajectory of a projectile assumes one of three general shapes, depending on the angle of projection.
General shapes
Perfectly vertical – projectile follows same path straight up and then straight down again
Parabolic – an oblique projection angle (00-900), the trajectory is parabolic
Shaped like a parabola
Symmetrical, right & left halves are mirror images
Perfectly horizontal – at an angle of 00, the trajectory resembles one half of a parabola.
Projection angle has direct implications for success in the sport of basketball, since a steep angle of entry into the basket allows a some-what larger margin of error than a shallow angle of entry.
In projection situations on a field, air resistance may, in reality, create irregularities in the shape of projectiles, trajectory.

7. Factors Influencing Projectile Trajectory
Projection speed:
Range:
horizontal displacement.
For oblique projection angles, speed determines height and range
For vertical projection angle, speed determines height.
When projection angle and other factors are constant, the projection speed determines the length or size of a projectile’s trajectory.
Projection speed: the magnitude of projection velocity
For a body that is projected at an oblique angle, the speed of projection determines both the height and the horizontal length of the trajectory.
The combines effects of projection speed and projection angle on the horizontal displacement, or range, of the projectile.
Range: the horizontal displacement of projectile at landing
The third major factor influencing projectile trajectory is the relative projection height.
Relative projection height: the difference between projection height and landing height
When projection velocity is constant, greater relative projection height translates to longer flight time and greater horizontal displacement of the projectile.
A projectile’s flight time is increased by increasing the vertical component of projection velocity or by increasing the relative projection height.

8. Factors Influencing Projectile Trajectory
Relative Projection Height:
Difference between projection and landing height
Greater the relative projection height, longer the flight time, greater the displacement.
When projection angle and other factors are constant, the projection speed determines the length or size of a projectile’s trajectory.
Projection speed: the magnitude of projection velocity
For a body that is projected at an oblique angle, the speed of projection determines both the height and the horizontal length of the trajectory.
The combines effects of projection speed and projection angle on the horizontal displacement, or range, of the projectile.
Range: the horizontal displacement of projectile at landing
The third major factor influencing projectile trajectory is the relative projection height.
Relative projection height: the difference between projection height and landing height
When projection velocity is constant, greater relative projection height translates to longer flight time and greater horizontal displacement of the projectile.
A projectile’s flight time is increased by increasing the vertical component of projection velocity or by increasing the relative projection height.

9. Projectile Motion The path (trajectory) of a projectile is a parabola
Describe the motion of an object in TWO dimensions
Vertical - vY
Horizontal - vX
Horizontal and vertical motion are independent (90°)

10. Projectile Motion Horizontal
Motion of a ball rolling freely along a level surface
Horizontal velocity is ALWAYS constant
The horizontal component of it’s velocity does not change. vX is constant

11. Projectile Motion Vertical Motion of a freely falling object
Force due to gravity
Vertical component of velocity changes with time

12. Package drop
The package follows a parabolic path and remains directly below the plane at all times
The vertical velocity changes (faster, faster)
The horizontal velocity is constant!

13. Trajectory and Range Maximum range is at 45°
Low and high trajectory cover the same distance.

10 and 80

The horizontal (x) component of velocity is constant
The horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other, but they have a common time
g = -9.81m/s2 x

22. Experiment What do you think? Which ball will hit the ground first?
a) The left ball will hit first b) The right ball will hit first c) They will hit the ground at the same time.

23. Projectiles

24. Both balls hit the ground at the same time. Why?
As soon as both balls are released by the launcher, they are in "freefall.
The only force acting on both objects is gravity.
Both objects accelerate at the same rate, 9.8m/s2
Both objects covering the same distance at the same rate and therefore hit the ground at the same time

The magnitude of the rock’s horizontal displacement is 45m How long does it take the rock to hit the ground? What speed did you have to initially have to kick the rock? How fast was the rock going before hitting the ground?

What initial speed must the person jump to make it? What is the final velocity of the person before he hits the water’s surface.

A golfer practices driving balls off a cliff and into the water below. The dege of the cliff is 15m above the water. If the golf ball is launched at 51m/s at and angle of 15°, how far does the ball travel horizontally before hitting the water?

42. The monkey and the zookeeper!!
A zookeeper finds an escaped monkey hanging from a light pole. Aiming her tranquilizer gun at the monkey, she kneels 10m away from the light pole, which is 5m high. The tip of her gun is 1m above the ground. At the same moment that monkey drops a banana, the zookeeper shoots. If the dart travels at 50m/s, will the dart hit the monkey, the banana, or neither one?
