Physics Unit 5 Lesson 1 Projectile Motion Falling things, and rockets ‘n’ that… Projectile Motion If an object is launched at an initial angle of θ0 with the horizontal, the analysis is similar except that the initial velocity has a vertical component. Initial Vertical Velocity does NOT = ZERO Initial Horizontal Velocity does NOT = Zero t = 2 Vy /g (if Y = 0) Projectile Motion It can be understood by analyzing the horizontal and vertical motions separately. Initial Vertical Velocity = ZERO t = √{2y/g} (if Vy =0) Initial Horizontal Velocity = Zero Projectile Motion Equations Horizontal Component: X = Vx(t) Vx = Vi COS Vertical Component: Y = Vy(t) –(1/2)gt2 Vy = Vi SIN t = 2 Vy /g (if Y = 0) t = √{2y/g} (if Vy =0) Homework– Glencoe Page 150151 #’s 1 - 5 ALL Objectives: Unit 5 Lesson 2: Do Now: How far above the ground will a ball be above the ground, if it is thrown from ground level @ 30.625 m/s straight up in Y = Vi (t) – ½ gt2 2.50 seconds? Use 9.81 m/s2 for gravity Y = 30.625 (2.5) – ½ (9.81)(2.5)2 Y = 76.5625 – 30.625 Y = 45.9375 m = 45.9 m : Review - Projectile Motion Equations Horizontal Component: X = Vx(t) Vx = Vi COS Vertical Component: Y = Vy(t) –(1/2)gt2 Vy = Vi SIN t = 2 Vy /g (if Y = 0) t = √{2y/g} (if Vy =0) Projectile Motion • Projectile motion follows a parabolic path i.e. http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/projectile-motion/projectile-motion_en.html • It has a horizontal (x) component and a vertical (y) component. • The horizontal component is not affected by gravity, so use separate equations for the different components. Continued… • What does this mean for objects dropped from the same height? • Objects dropped from the same height will hit the ground at the same time, regardless of weight (ignoring differences in air resistance) http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/projectiles.htm#1 • Solve the same way you would any other kinematics problem… AICR • State what you know, what do you want to find? • Choose an equation and solve for your unknown. • Look out for key words like.. “dropped”, “from rest” and “stationary:” Solving Problems Involving AICR Projectile Motion 1. Read the problem carefully, and choose the object(s) you are going to analyze. 2. Draw a diagram. 3. Choose an origin and a coordinate system. 4. Decide on the time interval; this is the same in both directions, and includes only the time the object is moving with constant acceleration g. 5. Examine the x and y motions separately. 6. List known and unknown quantities. Remember that vx never changes, and that vy = 0 at the highest point. 7. Plan how you will proceed. Use the appropriate equations; you may have to combine some of them. Projectile Motion Lesson 3 Objectives: Gain proficiency in collecting Data to solve for 2-D motion variables: Do NOW: How far down range will a cannonball go if fired at an angle of 30.0 deg an initial velocity of 18.5 m/s? assume no air resistance. What will hit the ground first a bullet dropped or a bullet fired from the same height? Discuss with your neighbor… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9wQVIEdKh8 Objects Under the Influence of Gravity: Projectile Motion The speed in the x-direction is constant; in the y-direction the object moves with constant acceleration g. This photograph shows two balls that start to fall at the same time. The one on the right has an initial speed in the x-direction. It can be seen that vertical positions of the two balls are identical at identical times, while the horizontal position of the yellow ball increases linearly.
