Horizontal and Vertical Motion

A. What’s New?
As a first step in studying classical mechanics, we describe the motion of an object while
ignoring the interactions with external agents that might be affecting or modifying that
motion. This portion of classical mechanics is called kinematics. (The word kinematics has the
same root as cinema.) In this topic, we consider only one motion in one dimension, that is,
motion of an object in a straight line. From everyday experience, we recognize that motion of
an object represents a continuous change in object’s position.

B. What Is It?
You learned from the past lesson that freefall refers to a situation in physics where the
only force acting on an object is gravity and hence acceleration due to gravity. Freefall as its
term says is a body falling freely because of the gravitational pull of the earth. The pull of
gravity acts on all objects. So on Earth, when you throw something up, it will go down. Things
thrown upward always fall at a constant acceleration which has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2.
This means that the velocity of an object in free fall changes by 9.8 m/s2 every second of fall.
Consider a stone dropped from a cliff as shown in the figure on the right. For equal time
interval, the distance travelled increases quadratically.
The formula for free fall:
Imagine an object body is falling freely for time t seconds, with final velocity v, from a height
h, due to gravity g. It will follow the following equations of motion as:
Equation I:

Equation J:

Equation K:

Where,
H = Height traveled
v = Final velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
t = Time taken
These equations can be derived from the usual equations of motions as given below, by
substituting
initial velocity (vi) = 0,
displacement (d) = h
acceleration (a) = g
xi = initial position
xf = final position.
We can see it as follows:

Equation E:
Equation I:
Equation F:
Equation J:
Equation H:
Equation K:

Consider the following examples below:


1. A construction worker accidentally drops a brick from a high scaffold. (a) What is
the velocity of the brick after 4.0s? (b) How far does the brick fall this time?
Let the upward be the positive direction.
a. t=4.0s ; a=-9.8m/s2
vf = vi+at
vf = 0.0m/s + (-9.8m/s2)(4.0s)
vf = -39m/s

b.
d = vi + ½(at2)
d = 0 + .05(-9.8m/s2)(4.0)2
d = -78m

therefore, (a) the vf = 39m/s downward and (b) d = -78m, the brick falls 78m.

2. Free-Fall Ride Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in
free fall. What is the velocity
of the ride after 2.3 s? How far do people on the ride fall during the 2.3-s time
period?
a. vi = 0; a = -9.8m/s2; t = 2.3s
vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + (-9.8m/s2)(2.3s)2
vf = -23m/s

b. xi = 0; Vi = 0

xf = xi + vit + ½ at2

xf = 0 + 0 + ½ at2

xf = ½ at2

xf = ½ (-9.8m/s2)(2.3s)2

xf = -26m, therefore the people fall 26m during 2.3s time period.

1. A student accidentally dropped her pen from the second floor of the school
building which is 5 m from the ground. How fast is it moving when it hits the
ground?

the ground is 7.9 m/s, from what height was it thrown?
