MELC 19 Horizontally Launched Projectile

The document discusses the principles of projectile motion, focusing on the independence of horizontal and vertical motions, and how they are affected by gravity. It includes sample problems demonstrating calculations for time of flight, vertical distance, and final vertical velocity for horizontally launched projectiles. Additionally, it presents assignment questions for further practice on these concepts.

is combination of vertical and

horizontal motions which are independent of


each other.
❖any object thrown in the air
❖acted upon only by gravity
❖follows a parabolic path
called a trajectory
❖has horizontal and vertical velocities
❖always constant
❖gravity does not affect the
horizontal velocity

❖depends on gravity
❖both the magnitude and direction changes
❖acceleration due to gravity is at -9.8 m/s2
Horizontally launched projectile
❖ Is simply an object that is
horizontal
initially shot horizontally
parallel to the ground
❖ horizontal velocity is vertical

constant and initial


vertical velocity is zero

Problem 1a Horizontal (X) Vertical (Y)

Given dx = 0.70 m
Vix = 1.50 m/s Ag = 9.8 m/s2
Unknown
dy (height)
Formula t = _dx_ dy =1/2 Agt2
Vix

Solution t= 0.70 m__ 11

1.50 m/s dy = 0.5 (9.8m/s2) (0.47 s)2

dy = 0.5 (9.8m/s2) (0.2209s2)

dy = 1.08241 m
Answer t = 0.47 s
dy = 1.08 m
Problem 1b Horizontal (X) Vertical (Y)

Given dx = 0.70 m
Vix = 1.50 m/s Ag = 9.8 m/s2
t = 0.47 s
Unknown Vfy

Formula
Vfy = Agt

12

Solution
Vfy = (9.8 m/s2) (0.47s)

Answer Vfy = 4.61 m/s

SAMPLE PROBLEM 2. If a bullet is fired with a speed of 600m/s


horizontally from a height of 48 m, how long will it take to hit
the ground? What is the range of the projectile? Assume that
there is no air resistance.

Vix = 600 m/s


t

dy = 48 m

_________ dx
_______________
Problem 2 Horizontal (X) Vertical (Y)

Given
Ag = 9.8 m/s2
Vix = 600 m/s dy = 48 m

Unknown dx (range) t

Formula dx = Vixt t = √ 2dy


Ag
14

Solution dx = 600 m/s ( 3.13 s) t = √ 2(48 m)


9.8 m/s2
t = √ 9.80 s2

Answer t = 3.13 s
dx = 1, 878 m
ASSIGNMENT
Solve the following using the GRESA method.
1.A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 50. m
tall and lands 45 m from the base. What was the ball’s initial
speed?
2.A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an
initial horizontal velocity of 7.2 m/s.

A.What is the final vertical velocity of the ball?


B. How long does it take to reach the ground?
C. How far does it move horizontally at this time?
