Projectile problems are presented along with detailed solutions. These problems may be better understood when projectile equations are first reviewed. An interactive html 5 applet may be used to better understand the projectile equations.
Describe the properties of projectile motion; Apply kinematic equations and vectors to solve problems involving projectile motion
Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set parameters such as angle, initial speed, and mass. Explore vector representations, and add air resistance to investigate the factors that influence drag.
In this simulation, students can fire various objects out of a cannon, including a golf ball, football, pumpkin, human being, a piano, and a car. By manipulating angle, initial speed, mass, and air resistance, concepts of projectile motion come to light in a fun and game-like environment.
Understand the motion of projectiles and satellites by separating their motion into horizontal and vertical components for National 5 Physics.
Solution: This is a projectile motion problem, a type of motion in which, without air resis-tance, we have ax = 0 and ay = −g. The kinematic equations for projectile are: x = (v0 cos α) t. z. v0x. = − gt2 + (v0 sin α) t + y0. zv0y. vx = v0 cos α. zv0x. vy = v0 sin α −gt. zv0y. 0)then the hitting position has coordinate (x, y = −500 m). Use t.
On this page I put together a collection of projectile motion problems to help you understand projectile motion better. The required equations and background reading to solve these problems is given on the projectile motion page .
