Here in Physics 3, you will
encounter three types of 2D
motions

PROJECTILE MOTION
Is a combination of:– horizontal motion
(x-component)
– vertical motion
At any time the distance from the
origin is given by:

The Horizontal and Vertical motions are

FULL PROJECTILE PATH
A projectile is shot at some upward angle from
the origin
Galileo tells us the horizontal motion is just
steady velocity, the vertical motion is the same
as that of a ball thrown directly upwards.

2. The Equation for
Time of Flight (T):
EXAMPLE 1
A ball is thrown at 20 m/s at
an angle of 55 degrees above
the horizontal. The ball
Solution:
Given velocity (Vo) = 20 m/s, launch angle of 55°,
and height the ball was thrown (1.8m), we can find the height of the ball at a distance of 10m using Equation (1) below
From which
y(x) = (tan 55°) 10m – (9.8/2*20² cos²o)10²
Robin fires an arrow that
leaves a bow at 20 m/s and
hits a target 30 m away.
What is the angle that he
should point the arrow to
hit the target?
Solution:
Knowing velocity (Vo) = 20m/s and
range (R) = 30 m, then we can use
Equation (3) below to find the angle
From which
sin2
o = R *g /Vo² = 30 * 9.8/20²
= 0.735

o = sin -¹ 0.735 = 47°
o = 23.5

EXAMPLE 3
A projectile is fired horizontally from the
roof of the building 30.0 m high at an
initial velocity of 20.0 m/s. Find (a) the
total time the projectile is in the air,
(b)where the projectile will hit the ground
and (c) the velocity of the projectile as it
hits the ground.
Solution:
a) t = (√2Y/g) = (√2 (30)/9.8) = 2.47 s
b) X = Vxo *t = 20 * 2.47 = 49.4 m
NOTES
•
The maximum range a projectile can
have when it is launched or projected
is at the
angle of projection of 45
0•
If an angle,
1, result to range R,
another angle,
2will yield the same R
given that they
are complements of
each other
NOTES
As can also be observed, each projectile reach different
altitudes and different horizontal ranges.
Without air resistance, the vertical motion of a projectile is governed by the same
principle as in free fall. Thus,
- the speed lost while
going up WILL EQUAL the
speed gained while going down.
- the time going up WILL ALSO EQUAL the time
going down

EXAMPLE 5
Suppose a large rock is ejected from a volcano with a speed of
Solution:
The time a projectile is in the air is governed by its vertical motion alone. While the rock is in the air, it rises and then falls to a final position 20.0 m lower than its starting
altitude.
We can find the time for this by using Eq 2-11b
Y = Yo + Voy*t −1/2g*t²
If we take the initial position Yo to be zero, then the final position is
Y = −20.0 m.
Initial velocity is Voy = Vo sin θo = ( 25.0 m/s )(sin 35.0º) = 14.3 m/s .
So
−20.0 m = (14.3 m/s) t − ½ (9.8) m/s² * t².
Rearranging terms gives a quadratic equation in terms of t :
4.90 m/s t² − (14.3 m/s)t − (20.0 m) = 0.
where the constants are a = 4.90 , b = – 14.3 , and c
= – 20.0.
Its solutions are given by the quadratic formula:
t = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac ))/2a
This equation yields two solutions: t = 3.96 and t = – 1.03 . The negative value of time implies an event before the start of motion, and so we discard it.
Thus,
