G9 - Projectile Motion

The document provides an overview of projectile motion, defining key terms and concepts such as initial velocity, launch angle, and range. It explains the effects of these factors on the distance and height of a projectile, as well as the conditions of motion in both vertical and horizontal components. Additionally, it outlines different types of projectile motion and includes examples for practical understanding.

LEARNING
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students should
be able to:

1.Define projectile motion.


2.Analyze the effects of launch angle and
initial velocity on the distance and height of
a projectile.
3.Apply mathematical equations to predict the
UNLOCKING TERMS!

a. PROJECTILE is any object thrown into space upon which the only acting force is gravity.

b. MOTION an act or process of changing place or position.

c.
TWO - DIMENSIONAL Is a flat object that has length and width but no depth, such
as a shadow or a map.

d. KINEMATICS bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause
them to move.
ELEMENTS OF A PROJECTILE MOTION

a. Initial velocity (v0) e. vertical velocity (vy)

b. Launch/initial angle (θ) f. Maximum height (H)

c. Time of flight (t) g. Range (R)

d.Horizontal velocity (vx) h. Acceleration due to gravity

RANGE
The horizontal displacement of the
projectile is called the range of the
projectile and depends on the initial
velocity of the object. If an object is
projected at the same initial speed, but two
complementary angles of projection, the
range of the projectile will be the same.

T = Viy / g

R = v 2 sin 2 θ
