Projectile Motion and UAM

This document defines and explains key science vocabulary terms related to motion including: distance, displacement, scalar and vector quantities, speed, velocity, acceleration, time, gravity, uniformly accelerated motion, projectile motion, range, height, and provides sample problems to demonstrate concepts. Key terms are distance vs displacement, scalar vs vector quantities, uniform vs non-uniform acceleration, the two types of projectile motion, and the effects of gravity. Formulas for speed, velocity, and acceleration are also presented.

Science Vocabulary Unlock

Distance
- it is the total length covered by the moving body. (represented by continuous line); scalar quantity.
- greater than displacement
Scalar Quantity - magnitude
Vector Quantity - both magnitude and scalar
Displacement - It includes both the length and the direction of the objects path from the starting point to
its end point. (represented by broken lines); vector quantity.
- can be shorter, equal, but it cannot be greater than the distance.
Science Vocabulary Unlock
Speed - is the rate at which an object is moving along a path or how fast the object
moves; scalar quantity. (s = d/t)
Velocity - is the rate and direction of an object’s movement; vector quantity. (v = d/t)
Acceleration - is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt).
 Changing speed
 Changing direction
 Changing both speed & direction
Time - how long it took the object from one position to another; scalar quantity.
Gravity - is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center.
It is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things with
mass or energy. The acceleration due to gravity on Earth or the value of g on Earth
is 9.8 m/s2.

Projectile Motion
Unlocking Vocabulary
1. Projectile - is a body traveling in projectile motion.
2. Trajectory - it is the curved path traveled by a projectile
3. Range - is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile.
4. Height - is the vertical distance traveled by a projectile.
Two Types of Projectile Motion

- has no initial vertical velocity


- Identical to a dropped object
-The downward vertical velocity
increases uniformly.
-horizontal velocity is uniform
Two Types of Projectile Motion

- Velocity has two components:


1. Constant horizontal velocity
2. Upward positivbe vertical velocity and
donward negative vertical velocity
Sample Problem:
If a bullet is fired with a speed of 600
m/s horizontally from a height of 48 m,
how long will it take to hit the ground?
what is the range of the projectile?
Assume that there is no air resistance.
Sample Problem:
A soccer ball is kicked horizontally from a
cliff with a velocity of 16.5 m/s. The ball
falls 35 m away from the cliff’s edge. How
long before the ball hits the ground? how
high is the cliff? what is the ball’s velocity
just before it hits the ground?
