Projectile Motion
(Vertically Launched Projectiles)
Prepared by: NECajes
Objectives
•Identify and explain the properties of a
projectile, such as acceleration due to
gravity, range, maximum height, and
trajectory.
•Realize the importance of projectile
motion in our daily lives.
•Solve problems related to projectile
motion.
Projectile Motion
•It is a form of motion when
an object moves in a
curve path with
parabolic
horizontal and vertical
component.
TRAJECTORY
The path of the projectile motion
PROJECTILE
The body or particle moving in a
projectile motion
Range is the horizontal distance
travelled by a projectile.
Peak is the highest point
v= 0 m/s
Height is the vertical distance
travelled by a projectile.

Vertically Launched Projectile
•Since projectile was launched at
an angle, the velocity must be
broken into components.
Analysis of Projectile Motion
•Projectiles which have NO upward
trajectory and NO initial vertical
velocity
