Summary of Prelim Period:

Rectilinear Motion with constant/ uniform acceleration:


S = Vt
V = Vo ± at
V2 = Vo2 ± 2aS
S = Vo t ± 1/2at2
Free Falling Bodies:
V = Vo - gt
V2 =Vo2 - 2gh
h = Vo t - 1/2gt2
Where: g= 9.81m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2
Rectilinear Motion with variable acceleration:
V = dS/dt (velocity)
2 2
a = dV/dt = d S / dt (acceleration)
a·dS = V·dV

Motion Diagrams:
a. The increase in velocity during a given time interval is equal to the area of the a-t diagram for that time
interval. V1 = Vo + Area of Acceleration
b. The increase in velocity during a given time interval is equal to the area of the v-t diagram for that time
interval. S1= So+ Area of Velocity

Projectile Motion: Curvilinear Translation ( where Air resistance neglected)


Projectile – is any body that is given an initial velocity and then follows a path determined entirely by the
effects of gravitational acceleration.
Trajectory – The path followed by a projectile and is always parabola.

At Any Point:
Dynamics of Rigid Bodies Engr. Ruel M. Galutan
Along Horizontal: ( ax = 0, Vox = Vo Cos θ )
x = Vo Cos θ t
Vx = Vo Cos θ
Along Vertical: ( ay = -g , Voy = Vo sinθ )
Vy2 = Vo2 Sin2 θ – 2gH
Vy = Vo sinθ – gt
y = Vo Sin θ t – ½ gt2
 at maximum height ( Vy = 0 , y=H)
H = Vo2 Sin2 θ /2g
t = Vo sin θ / g
(t= time from moment of release to the highest point of its flight)
 At maximum range or maximum horizontal distance (x = R, y =0)
R = Vo2 Sin 2θ/g
t = Vo Cos θ /R
( t = time from the moment of release to the point at which it hits the ground)
General Equation: At any point in the projectile path
y = xtan θ – ½ (gx2/Vo2 Cos2θ)
Practice Problems:

1. A ball is thrown from a tower 30m high above the ground with a velocity of 300 m/s directed at 20
from the horizontal. How long will the ball hit the ground?
2. A stuntman is to drve a car across the water-filled gap shown. Determine the car’s minimum take
velocity and the angle θ of the landing ramp.
3. A stone is thrown upward at an angle of 30 with the horizontal it lands 60m measured horizontally
and 2m below measured vertically from its point of release. Determine the initial velocity of the stone.
4. A ball is thrown so that it just clears a 3m fence 18m away. If it left the hand 1.5m above the ground
and at an angle of 60° with the horizontal, what was the initial velocity of the ball?
5. The volleyball player serves the ball from point A with the speed V o =40 ft/sec at the angle Ɵ=30°.
