Motion in a Plane - Part |
Examples of motion in two dimensions.
Circular motion Projectile motion
ara Apply equations of motion in a straight
Sa line separately in both directions, X and Y.

velocity of the particle
= displacement of the particle
a =acceleration of the particle
t=the time interval in which the
particle is in consideration
+ Projectile refers to an object that isin flight along the horizontal and vertical
direction simultaneously.
+ Acceleration acts only in the vertical direction due to acceleration due to
gravity (g). F
«No acceleration in the horizontal direction. _ 0
+ Projectile motion is always in the form of parabola. | 4 COs)

Time of flight 2t, = 2(u sin®/g)
Maximum height of projectile h,, = (usin@?/2g
Horizontal range of projectile R=u?sin 26/9
Maximum horizontal range ( 85 = 45°) R,, =u/g
