PROJECTILE MOTIONS

Projectile Velocity as a vector changes in two ways:


- Objects that are launched or thrown a) By changing its direction
into the air. b) By changing its magnitude/speed

- Motion in two dimensions.
( Motion that takes place in two Vertical Motion/Component
directions at the same time ) - Projectile is moving at a uniform
acceleration due to gravity.
With the use of equations from uniform (Formulas are the same ones for
motion and uniformly accelerated motion, uniform acceleration)
we can describe the motion of a projectile.

Free Fall
- An object that is moving under only
the influence of gravity is in free fall.
In order for an object to be in free
fall, wind and air resistance must be
ignored. On Earth, all objects in free
fall accelerate downward at the rate
of gravity or 9.8 m/s².

Applying Free Fall to Kinematic


Equations
- When analyzing free fall motion, we
can apply the same kinematic
equations as we did for motion on
the ground. We can then use these
equations to determine properties
such as distance, time, and velocity.

Formula needed:
d=vt
d = agt²/2
d = vit + at²/2
