- 1. Projectile Motion Understanding the physics of motion in two dimensions
- 2. What is Projectile Motion? • Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. It is a two-dimensional motion combining horizontal and vertical motion.
- 3. Components of Projectile Motion • - Horizontal motion: Uniform, with constant velocity • - Vertical motion: Accelerated, with constant acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
- 4. Equations of Motion • For horizontal motion: • - Displacement: x = v₀ₓ * t • For vertical motion: • - Displacement: y = v₀ᵧ * t - 0.5 * g * t² • - Final velocity: vᵧ = v₀ᵧ - g * t
- 5. Range and Maximum Height • Range (R): The horizontal distance covered by the projectile • - R = (v₀² * sin(2θ)) / g • Maximum Height (H): The highest vertical position reached • - H = (v₀² * sin²θ) / (2g)
- 6. Factors Affecting Projectile Motion • - Initial velocity (v₀) • - Angle of projection (θ) • - Acceleration due to gravity (g) • - Air resistance (in real-world scenarios)
- 7. Examples of Projectile Motion • 1. A ball thrown at an angle • 2. A cannonball shot from a cannon • 3. A basketball shot towards the hoop • 4. A long jumper leaping forward
- 8. Conclusion • Projectile motion demonstrates the effects of both gravity and initial force. Understanding the principles can help in solving practical problems in sports, engineering, and other fields.
