Projectile Motion Formula Sheet You can find the proofs of these results in our tutorial videos Vertical Motion Acceleration: ̈=−𝑔 (where g is gravitational pull) Velocity: ̇=−𝑔𝑡+𝑉sin𝜃 Displacement: = −𝑔𝑡 2 2 +𝑉𝑡sin𝜃 Horizontal Motion Acceleration: ̈=0 Velocity: ̇=𝑉cos𝜃
Examples of vector and scalar quantities. vector is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction, e.g. the velocity of the wind was 15 m s-1 towards the north. Velocity is an example of a vector quantity.
Kinematic Equations for Projectile Motion. Kinematics equations apply to objects moving along straight lines with a uniform acceleration between an initial and a final state. = displacement. = acceleration.

PROJECTILE MOTION Objectives † Distinguish between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity. (5.1) † Explain how to find the resultant of two perpendicular vectors. (5.2) † Describe how the components of a vector affect each other. (5.3) † Describe the components of projectile motion. (5.4) † Describe the downward motion
Lecture Notes. (Projectile Motion) Intro: the previous chapters have considered motion mainly in a straight line; this is called rectilinear motion (Latin rectus = ‘straight’ and linea = ‘line’) this chapter will be looking at motion in two dimensions, that is, curvilinear motion.
Projectile Motion. Objectives: To know the definition of a projectile and to use concepts of force and inertia to explain the manner in which gravity affects a projectile. To be able to describe the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of a projectile.
