    To describe a projectile’s


    motion – objects moving in
    two dimensions, let us first
    consider objects moving in
    one dimension
    (horizontally or vertically).
    The motion of objects
    described to be moving
    at a constant velocity
    (having an acceleration of
    0 m/s2) or moving at a
    constant acceleration.
    - Objects that are moving at
    a constant acceleration are
    said to be in a Uniformly
    Accelerated Motion (UAM). In
    other words, the
    acceleration does not
    change; it is uniform
    throughout.
    Which of the three situations is/are more
    likely to happen in real-life? Explain your
    answer below.
    Horizontally Launched Projectiles
     Figure 1.3: A man diving into the
    water.
     The motion of the man as it
    dives into the water is moving
    along a curved path
    downwards due to a natural
    force called gravitational force
    or gravity.
     Gravity is the natural force that

    causes objects to fall toward


    the earth.
    Hence, the acceleration
    due to gravity is always
    directed downwards. With
    this the motion of the
    man undergoes projectile
    motion.
     Projectilemotion is a form of
    motion where an object moves
    in a curved path.
     The object that is thrown or

    projected and exhibits projectile


    motion is called projectile.
     The curve-like path undertake

    by a projectile is called
    trajectory.
    Summary of Uniformly Accelerated Motion
    (UAM) Formulae

    Motion Formulae SI Unit
    vf = final velocity m/s
    vi = initial velocity m/s
    1. vf = at + vi
    a = acceleration m/s2
    t = time s
    2. d = vit + at2 d = displacement m

    3. d = (vf + vi ) t

    4. Vf2 = vi2 + 2ad


    Consider an airplane on a runway preparing
    for takeoff.
    Let’s try solving problems!
    Sample Problem1

     An airplane from rest accelerates


    on a runway at 5.50 m/s2 for
    20.25s until it finally takes off the
    ground. What is the distance
    covered before takeoff?
    Note: If the airplane started from
    rest, it means to say that the initial
    velocity is zero.
    Solution:
     1. Write the given or what information is
    given in the problem.

    Given: Find:
    a = 5.50 m/s2 d=?
    t = 20.25 s
    vi = 0 m/s
    2. Solve the problem using the
    chosen formula
    Formula: d = vit + at2
    2
    d = (0 m/s)(20.25 s) + (5.50 m/s2) (20.25 s)2
    2
    d = 0 + (5.50 m/s2) (410.0625 s2)
    2

    answer d = 1128 m
    Sample problem 2
    An airplane from rest
    accelerates on a runaway at
    6.30 m/s2 for 30.15 s until it
    finally takes off the ground.
    What is the distance covered
    before takeoff?
    Sample problem 3
    A motorcycle from rest
    accelerates uniformly over a
    time of 3.25 seconds and
    covers a distance of 15 m.
    What is the acceleration of
    the motorcycle?
    Sample Problem 4
    A jeepney from rest
    accelerates uniformly over a
    time of 4.75 seconds and
    covers a distance of 20 m.
    What is the acceleration of
    the jeepney?
    Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM):
    Vertical Dimension
    Gravity acts on all objects
    by pulling it towards the
    center of the Earth.
    So, on Earth when you

    throw something up, it will


    go down.
     Things thrown upward always
    fall at a constant acceleration
    (ag) which has a magnitude of
    9.8 m/s2.
     This means that the velocity of

    an object in free fall changes


    by 9.8 m/s every second of
    fall.
    Consider a stone dropped from a cliff as
    shown in Figure 2. For equal time interval, the
    distance travelled increases quadratically.
    Sample Problem 1
     Ben is playing with his ball on

    top of a building, but the ball


    fell and hits the ground after
    2.6 seconds, what is the final
    velocity of the ball just before
    it hits the ground and how
    high is the building?
    Given:
    ag = -9.8 m/s2
    t = 2.6 s
    assume vi = 0 m/s
    Find:
    vf= ?
    h=?
    Sample problem 2
    A rock is dropped on the third
    floor of the school building
    and hits the ground after 2.8
    seconds.
    a. What is the height of the
    building?
    b. What is the final velocity?
