Projectile Motion

Projectile Motion

• defintion

• Calculations?

• Flight name

• Vertical acceleration?

• How a body moves airborne

• Applies the Equations of constant acceleration (displacement…)

• Parabolic Flight Path

• Vertical Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

Centre of mass trajectory during projectile motion

• COM follows parabola shape, WHEREAS other points (feet) rotate around COM

Factors Affecting Projectile Motion

• 3

• Factors for optimal distance

1. Speed of Release

2. Angle of Release

3. Height of Release

Optimal for Distance

• Fast

• 45°

• High

Tangential Release

• explain

• If a body is moving in a circle and is released, the release angle is a tangent to the circle

  • Straight line off release point, 90° from radius

Deterministic Model of Skills

— explain

• start with factors that affect the skill

• Then factors affecting those factors

• Keep going deeper and perfecting performance
