    The document discusses projectile motion, which is any object thrown under only the force of gravity. Projectile motion involves constant horizontal velocity and constant downward acceleration. Key equations of motion for horizontal and vertical components are presented, along with examples of calculating distances and times for projectiles.

    MOTION
    Introduction

     Projectile Motion:
    A projectile is any object thrown into space upon which the only
    acting force is gravity.
    Examples:

    •Motion is accelerated
    •Acceleration is constant,
    and downward
    • a = g = -9.81m/s2
    •The horizontal (x)
    component of velocity is
    g = -9.81m/s2 constant
    •The horizontal and vertical
    motions are independent of
    each other, but they have a
    common time x
    ANALYSIS OF MOTION
    Equations of motion:
    Horizontal Vertical
    Motion Motion
    ax= 0 ax= -g

    v = vo+ at vo vx = vox vy = voy - g t

    s = vo t + ½ at2 x = vox t y = voy t - ½ gt2

    v2 = vo2 + 2as vx = vox vy2 = voy2 – 2gy


    DERIVED FORMULA

    y = x tanθ - ½ g ( x2 / vo2 cos θ 2 )


    EXAMPLE 1

    A projectile is fired from the edge of


    a 150-m cliff with an initial velocity
    of 180 m/s at an angle of 30°with the
    horizontal. Neglecting air resistance,
    find
     (a) the horizontal distance from
    the gun to the point where the
    projectile strikes the ground,
     (b) determine the total time of
    flight
     (c) the greatest elevation above
    the ground reached by the
    projectile.
    EXAMPLE 2

    An airplane used to drop water on


    brushfires is flying horizontally in a
    straight line at 180 mi/h at an
    altitude of 300 ft. Determine the
    distance d at which the pilot should
    release the water so that it will hit
    the fire at B.

    SUMMARY

     Projectile motion is motion with a constant horizontal velocity combined


    with a constant vertical acceleration
     The projectile moves along a parabola
