Projectiles Physics 2010
Projectile Motion • Free fall with an initial horizontal velocity (assuming we ignore any effects of air resistance) • The curved path that an object follows when thrown or launched near the surface of Earth is called a trajectory
Projectiles • Any object that is thrown or launched into the air and are subject to gravity • Projectiles follow perfect parabolic trajectories when air resistance is neglected
Horizontal Motion of a Projectile • Constant when air resistance is neglected • At any point in a projectile’s path, horizontal velocity is the same initial horizontal velocity
Vertical Motion of a Projectile • Acceleration is a constant -9.81 m/s2 • At the peak of a projectile’s path, vertical velocity is zero
Projectile Motion • The horizontal and vertical components of motion are completely independent of one another.

Example: You kick a soccer ball at an angle of 40 above the ground with a velocity of 20.0 m/s. • One dimensional motion equations still apply. • You will need to resolve the initial velocity into its x- and y-components to separate the horizontal from the vertical motion. • Always keep the horizontal information separate from the vertical information in the problem.
