Projectile Motion Fact or Fiction For a fastball to travel at 90 mph, the pitcher’s hand (or fingers) must be moving at 90 mph when the ball is released The moon is constantly falling towards Earth A coin dropped off a cliff will reach the ground before another coin thrown horizontally from the cliff at the same height. Projectile Object that is launched by a force and continues to move by its own inertia Only force acting on object is gravity Trajectory- the path of a projectile (parabola) Projectile Motion Horizontal (x) and Vertical (y) components are independent of each other No force acts horizontally; Horizontal motion is constant. Force of gravity acts vertically; vertical motion is accelerated What does this mean? Objects propelled horizontally also fall vertically at a rate of +9.8 m/s2 (No matter how hard object is thrown) Horizontally launched object and one that is dropped Rolling Ball off Table If we push the ball harder, giving it greater ___________ velocity as it rolls off the table, the ball takes _____ time to fall to the floor. Draw the new trajectory Rolling Ball off Table Projectiles have 2 velocities- Horizontal and Vertical! ? Force of gravity only acts vertically Vertical Velocity (Vy) - Force of gravity accelerates objects vertically at a rate of 10 m/s2 downward. (So in the vertical direction the ball slows down on the way up and speeds back up on the way down by 10 m/s every second) Horizontal Velocity (Vx) In absence of air resistance, projectile maintains initial horizontal velocity it was given. (Inertia)? Vx is constant! Vix = Vx = constant Vx = dx/t ? Objects that are thrown horizontally only one factor determines the time in air.? Objects initial height (dy) t in air = dy Objects that are thrown horizontally To find the maximum range (dx) or horizontal displacement use the formula: dx = vxt Ex. A stone is thrown horizontally at 7.5 m/s from a cliff that is 68.4 m high. How far from the base of the cliff does the stone
