Projectile Motion

Projectile Motion

The motion experienced by a projectile influenced by gravity

Projectile Motion

Follows a parabolic flight path

Velocity

Rate Of Change In Position

Velocity

Shown with v

Velocity

Measured in m/s (meters per second)

Time

Flight duration of an object

Time

Shown with t

Time

Measured in s (seconds)

Distance

The horizontal or vertical distance traveled

Distance

Acceleration

Measured in m/s^2 (meters per second per second)

Acceleration

-9.8m/s^2

Projectile

Any object projected of its own inertia

Projectile

Influenced by acceleration of gravity

Overall Change In Position

Horizontally Launched Projectiles

Projectiles launched above the ground

Horizontally Launched Projectiles

• Velocity horizontally is constant

• Velocity vertically goes downward

Non-Horizontally Launched Projectiles

Projectiles launched at an angle

Non-Horizontally Launched Projectiles

• • vox is the initial velocity horizontally

  • voy is the initial velocity vertically

  • dymax means the maximum height reached by the projectile
