A very common example of
two-dimensional motion is
projectile motion.
Two-dimensional (2D) motion
means motion that takes place in two
different directions (or coordinates)
at the same time.

A projectile is an object that is thrown
horizontally or at some angle with respect
to the horizontal.
It is a combination of uniform horizontal
motion and free fall.

Let x be the value of the height of
2𝑥
𝑡= the building.
𝑎 Let a be the value of the free fall.
b) initial velocity of the ball,
Let vo be the initial velocity of the ball. Resolving this velocity
into its horizontal and vertical components,
vox = vo cos θ and voy = vo sin θ
Since the ball is thrown horizontally, θ = 0. Hence,
vox = vo cos 0 = vo and voy = vo sin 0 = 0
Manipulating the equation x = voxt to solve for vox and substituting
values,
b) initial velocity of the ball,

c) velocity just before the ball strikes the
ground.
Substituting values, the vertical component vy is

Therefore, v = 32m/s at 76° below the
horizontal.

• Another type of two-dimensional motion worth
studying about is circular motion.

a. Let the radius of curvature be r = 3.0m. The distance that the child
travels if the merry-go-round makes 2.0 revolution is two times the
circumference of her circular path. Recall that circumference = 2πr.
Thus,
m/s2 or 19m/s2
