1 Projectile Motion Case I and II

Okay, let me solve this step-by-step: 1. Vertical velocity component = 200 sin(45°) = 200 * 0.707 = 141.4 m/s 2. Horizontal velocity component = 200 cos(45°) = 200 * 0.707 = 141.4 m/s 3. Maximum height = 141.4^2 / (2*9.8) = 1000 m 4. Time of flight = 2*141.4/9.8 = 28.8 s 5. Range = 141.4 * 28.8 = 4000 m Therefore, the answers are: a. 141.4 m/s b. 141.4 m/s

PROJECTILE MOTION

At the end of the topic, you are
expected to:
describe the motion of a projectile;
identify situations that show projectile motion;
 solve real-life problems involving projectile motion; and
manifest self-reliance and analytical thinking in solving
worded problems on projectile.

P R OJ E CTI LE MO TI O N
Projectile motion is the motion of an object
thrown or projected into the air, subject to only
the acceleration of gravity. The object is called
a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory.

Combination of vertical and horizontal motions


that are completely independent of each other
P RO J EC TILE
In military terminology, a missile discharged from small arms
or from artillery weapons or a self-propelled weapon such as
a rocket or a torpedo, or guided missiles
In Physics and Ballistics, a projectile is any body projected
through space
Body undergoing projectile motion
Object that is given an initial velocity after which it follows a
path that is affected by gravity

b. How far from the base of the building does the
pebble hit the ground?

high and the ground is level,

A projectile is fired with a horizontal velocity of 335 m/s
from the top of a cliff of unknown height. If it takes 4.04 s
for the projectile to strike the ground level at the base of
the cliff,
a. how high is the cliff?
b. how far from the foot of the cliff will it strike?
c. with what velocity will it strike the ground level at the
base of the cliff?
 For projectile motion, we will use an
angle measure to describe the
direction of motion. The value of is
measured either clockwise/counter-
clockwise rotation from the positive
horizontal axis.

Note: The sign is negative since the


 angle is measured in a counter-
clockwise rotation. The direction can
also be describe using an angle
measure of 353.26.

A plane traveling with a horizontal velocity of 100
m/s is 500 m above the ground. At some point the
pilot decides to drop some supplies to designated
target below.

(b) How far away from point where it was launched
will it land?
