Projectile Motion Presentation-1

Projectile motion refers to the movement of an object projected into the air, influenced solely by gravity. It can be categorized into three types: horizontal, angled, and vertical projections, with key equations governing their motion. Applications of projectile motion are found in sports, engineering, and entertainment, and understanding these concepts is essential for practical uses.

Projectile Motion

Understanding the Concepts and


Applications
Introduction to Projectile Motion
• Projectile motion is the motion of an object
thrown or projected into the air, subjected
only to the acceleration of gravity.
Types of Projectile Motion
• 1. Type I: Horizontal projection (e.g., a rock
thrown off a cliff).
• 2. Type II: Projection at an angle (e.g., a golf
ball hit at an angle).
• 3. Type III: Vertical projection (e.g., an object
thrown straight up).
Key Equations in Projectile Motion
• 1. Horizontal motion: x = v₀x * t
• 2. Vertical motion: y = v₀y * t - (1/2)gt²
• 3. Range: R = (v₀² * sin(2θ)) / g
• 4. Time of flight: t = (2 * v₀ * sinθ) / g
Conditions of Projectile Motion
• - Neglect air resistance.
• - Motion can be separated into horizontal and
vertical components.
• - The horizontal velocity remains constant.
• - The vertical motion is influenced by gravity.
Real-World Applications
• - Sports (basketball, football, golf)
• - Engineering (missile trajectory, ballistics)
• - Entertainment (movies, animations)
Activity: Build a Catapult
• 1. Use a spoon, Popsicle sticks, and rubber
bands.
• 2. Launch a clay ball and measure the
distance.
• 3. Predict and test different angles for
maximum range.
Conclusion
• Projectile motion follows predictable laws of
physics.
• Understanding it helps in sports, engineering,
and everyday life.
