Lesson
5 Projectile Motion
Projectile Motion is another type of motion occurs only when the object is
thrown or launch into the air. The object is launched at a certain initial point to its
final point or the displacement in the horizontal direction following a parabolic path
with certain time and distance. When it reaches the maximum height, it begins to
accelerate downward. Galileo Galilei was the first scientist who describe projectile
motion through his observation and experimentation and was published in his one
of his books in 1590.
The projectile motion uses formula to know how far the projectile reached its
maximum height and range with respect to the time taken into the whole travel of
the projectile
What’s In
What does the formula use in finding the initial horizontal components of the
projectile in motion?
Why is that the acceleration of projectile in horizontal motion is constant from its
initial point to final point?

What is It
Horizontal Motion component of the projectile along vertical direction does not
experience any acceleration on horizontal motion, therefore in mathematical
equation
Assuming that the initial velocity, angle, and height of a projectile is given, then we
can calculate the components of velocity the Pythagorean Theorem;
But if the angle, = 90˚ it means that the object in motion is in free fall. And if
velocity in y direction is zero, the object in motion is in horizontal motion.
Since there is no gravity along horizontal direction of the projectile in motion, the
velocity of the projectile in motion, is constant in the whole travel and was equal
to the initial launched of the projectile or the initial velocity,
Therefore
So, if we launched a projectile from 0 time, then at time, t the x component of its
displacement from the launched point will be
Horizontal distance,
Horizontal velocity,
Vertical distance,
Vertical velocity,

Where:
The projectile launched along horizontal motion and touch the surface at any point
has given derived equations base on kinematic equation, the formula is used to
calculate the time of flight, maximum height reached, and the range.
Y or H is the height
reached by a projectile in
Height Reached, motion
x or R is the distance
reached by a projectile in
motion when it hits the
ground
Range,
Where
Vi = Initial Velocity
sin θ = Component along the y-axis
cos θ = component along the x-axis
- acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s 2
tf – time of flight
H – maximum height reached
R - range
Example
A small stone is thrown away into the air with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of
30 degree along the horizontal.
