- A position vector extends from one point (tail, ‘here’) to another point
(head, ‘there’).
- A velocity vector does not extend from one point to another, showing (1)
the instantaneous direction at the particle’s travel at the tail, and (2) its
length (the velocity magnitude) drawn to any scale.

Let’s analyze projectile motion under one assumption that air has no effect in the
projectile.
(One answer) Use the magnitude of 𝑣⃗0 (𝑣0 ) and the angle (𝜃0 ) that 𝑣⃗0 makes
with the positive x axis in the counterclockwise direction.
(Key) In projectile motion, the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are
INDEPENDENT; neither motion affects the other.

- The vertical velocity component behaves just like a ball thrown vertically
upward. ➔ What is the initial velocity of the ball?

(𝑣0 sin 𝜃0 )𝑡 − 𝑔𝑡 2 , we obtain 𝑦 = (tan 𝜃0 )𝑥 − .
2 2(𝑣0 cos 𝜃0 )2
Now that 𝜃0 , 𝑔, 𝑣0 are all constants, the above equation is of the form
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 2 , where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are constants.

Q: How far does the particle travel horizontally when it returns to its initial height?
(1) Compute the time 𝑇𝑓 when the ball comes back to the initial height.
(2) Apply this time to the horizontal motion to obtain the answer.

Consider 𝑦 − 𝑦𝑜 = (𝑣0 sin 𝜃0 )𝑡 − 𝑔𝑡 2 . ➔ Solve this for 𝑡 when 𝑦 − 𝑦𝑜 = 0.

Since sin 2𝜃0 = 2 sin 𝜃0 cos 𝜃0 , we obtain:

(Notes)
(1) 𝑅 has its maximum value when 2𝜃0 = 90°, i.e. 𝜃0 = 45°. [As expected]
(2) If the final height is different from the initial height, then
Compute the angle 𝜙 of the pilot’s line of sight and the velocity 𝑣⃗ of the
14
capsule when it reaches the water.
(Keys)
(2) The plane should arrive right above the victim when the capsule reaches
the water. Why?
First, let’s define the 𝑥 (horizontal and positive to the right) and 𝑦 (vertical and
positive upward). Then, 𝑥0 = 𝑦0 = 0.
Compute the time instant 𝑇 when the capsule reaches the water, considering that

the vertical motion is a free fall. Use 𝑦 − 𝑦𝑜 = (𝑣0 sin 𝜃0 )𝑡 − 𝑔𝑡 2 with

(Key) The velocity of the particle is always tangent to the displacement, i.e. the
circle. [Draw a circle and explain this. Use Fig. 4-16.]
