Describe the properties of projectile motion; Apply kinematic equations and vectors to solve problems involving projectile motion
In this explainer, we will learn how to derive formulae for projectile motion and use them in problems. Suppose a particle is projected from a flat horizontal plane at an angle of 𝜃 ∘ from the horizontal with an initial velocity of 𝑈 m⋅s −1 and that no forces other than gravity act upon it during its flight.
26 mar 2016 · Projectile motion is the motion of a “thrown” object (baseball, bullet, or whatever) as it travels upward and outward and then is pulled back down by gravity.
This is a formula we know, and let's see what we can figure out. Can we figure out the average velocity? The average velocity is just the average of the initial velocity and the final velocity.
The overall motion, then, is a combination of motion with constant velocity horizontally, and motion with constant acceleration vertically, and we can write down the corresponding equations of motion immediately: \begin{align} v_{x} &=v_{x, i} \nonumber \\ v_{y} &=v_{y, i}-g t \nonumber \\ x &=x_{i}+v_{x, i} t \nonumber \\
Draw a clear diagram of the projectile motion, including the initial and final positions, as well as the trajectory. Label the relevant quantities such as initial velocity $u$, final velocity $v$, acceleration due to gravity $g$, angle of projection $\theta$, and any other given values.
