1. 4 OPO’s / MP’s IN PROJECTING 1. maximum Horizontal distance (D horiz ) 2. maximum Vertical distance (D vert ) 3. maximum Accuracy 4. maximum Accuracy with Speed

2. Projection Angle (  res ) V horiz V vert   res less than 45º  long throw  long jump  Figure 12.1 page 388   res greater than 45º  volleyball jumps  high jump  Figure 12.1 page 388

3. Vector Composition  Find Resultant e.g. Resultant Velocity (V res )  Pythagorean Theorem  Resultant² which is unknown = the sum of the squares of other 2 components which are known  V res² = V horz² + V vert²  V res² = 4² + 3² V res = 5 mps @ x°

4. FORCES Affecting Projectiles I. GRAVITY directed toward center of earth @ 9.8m/sec² decelerates on ascent, accelerates on descent II. DRAG results from airflow past projectile comprised of: 1. 2.

5. PROFILE/FORM DRAG  Primary factor influencing magnitude of drag  magnitude is proportional to the area of leading edge of projectile  higher pressure zone on leading side and a lower pressure zone on trailing side of projectile  suction on trailing side  reduced by streamlining

6. SKIN FRICTION/SURFACE DRAG  Secondary factor influencing magnitude of drag  Boundary layer of air “sticks” to projectile  rougher surfaces create more friction (“sticking”)  reduced using smooth surfaces, tight fitting wear

7. Projecting for maximum V vertical g is resistive then motive F drag is always ----------- in aerodynamics greater V of projectile = greater F drag on descent, acceleration influenced by ----- greater projection V = -------------------

8. V vertical 1. Height of C of G at takeoff point 2. V vert of C of G at takeoff (greater = higher) 3. Location of reaching fingertips @ apex see Figure 12.4 on page 392

9. Vertical Projection with some V horiz  Tumbling - flip-flops increase ground reaction F  High Jump - carry body from takeoff to pit  Straddle vs Flop Figures 12.5, 12.6 on page 394  Pole Vault - V horz critical for pole rotation

10. V horizontal  More common in sports  F resistive are g, air resistance, ground friction  Critical Features for max. Distance horiz projections are: 1. v of release 2. ht of release 3.  of release [see FIG 12.8 on page 397]  see FIG 12.9 on page 399

11. Factors Affecting D HORZ of Projectiles

12. Vertical Target Horizontal Target  darts, archery  FIG 12.15 on page 406  farther target requires more V vert projection  basketball, golf, shoes  BB rim diameter:   =  margin of error  FIG 12.16 on page 408  best BB shooters have greater shld flexion + more elbow extension at release
