    Projectile motion refers to the two-dimensional motion of an object through the air. There are three types of projectile motion: horizontal, vertical, and parabolic. Horizontal motion involves constant horizontal velocity, vertical motion involves changing vertical velocity due to gravity, and parabolic motion combines changing vertical velocity with constant horizontal velocity. The document provides examples and equations to calculate the horizontal and vertical components of velocity and displacement of a projectile over time, as well as factors like angle and initial velocity that affect projectile motion.

    What is Projectile

    Motion?

    Instructional Objectives:
    Students will be able to:
    Define Projectile Motion
    Distinguish between the different types of
    projectile motion
    Apply the concept to a toy car and measure its
    velocity

    Projectile Motion
    Two-dimensional motion of an object
    Vertical
    Horizontal

    Types of Projectile
    Motion
    Horizontal
    Motion of a ball rolling freely along a
    level surface
    Horizontal velocity is ALWAYS
    constant

    Vertical
    Motion of a freely falling object
    Force due to gravity
    Vertical component of velocity
    changes with time

    Parabolic
    Path traced by an object accelerating
    only in the vertical direction while
    moving at constant horizontal velocity

    Examples of Projectile
    Motion
    Launching a Cannon ball

    Initial Velocity
    Angle

    Class Exercise
    An object is fired from the ground at 100
    meters per second at an angle of 30
    degrees with the horizontal
    Calculate the horizontal and vertical
    components of the initial velocity
