 Lesson Projectile Motion:
Relationship Between Angle
1 of Projection and the Height
and Range of the Projectile
Many games and sporting events that you play involve flying objects or balls.
Basketball, volleyball, and sepak takraw are some examples wherein you observe the
curve paths of flying objects in mid-air. This curve is what naturally happens when an
object, called a projectile, moves in two dimensions-having both horizontal and vertical
motion components, acted by gravity only. In Physics, this is called projectile motion.

What is It

Projectile motion is defined as the motion of an object that is thrown or

projected into the air in which gravity is the only force acting on it. (neglecting air
resistance). Projectile is the term for the object that shows a projectile motion. The
path covered by a projectile is called a trajectory which is a parabolic or curve-like
figure. The trajectory of a projectile launched at an angle is symmetrical, which means
that, there is an equal size on both sides of the parabola. The distance from the point
the object is released up to the highest point it reached on air is the maximum height
of a projectile, while the range is the horizontal distance covered by a projectile. The
angle of projection is the angle between the initial velocity and the horizontal plane
where the object is thrown.
The figure below describes the parts of a projectile.

Projectiles Launched at an Angle

When a projectile is launched upward at an angle, its velocity has two components:

1. A constant horizontal velocity that moves in the same direction as the launch, the
acceleration of which is zero; and

2. An upward positive vertical velocity component that is decreasing in magnitude

until it becomes zero at the top of the trajectory (therefore it is no longer goes up
any further). But because gravity makes it accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s
per second or 9.8 m/s2, (therefore it stays at rest only for an instant) it will start to
descend with an increasing negative vertical velocity until it is stopped by
something. So as the projectile moves forward horizontally with uniform velocity, its
vertical velocity is also accelerated creating a trajectory that is a parabola.

3. Objects that are projected from and land on the same horizontal surface will have a
path symmetric about a vertical line through a point at the maximum height of the
projectile.

4. The maximum height of the projectile is when the projectile reaches zero vertical
velocity. From this point, the vertical component of the velocity vector will point
downwards.

5. The horizontal displacement of the projectile is called the range of the projectile
and depends on the initial velocity of the object.

6. 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.

7. The angle at which the object is launched dictates the range, height, and time of
flight the object will experience while in projectile motion.

arrows, and velocity components are dashed.

In your previous activity, you have learned that objects launched at different
angles of projection have resulted in different ranges and heights.
Figure 12 shows different paths for the same object being launched at the same
initial velocity and different launch angles. As illustrated by the figure, the larger
the initial launch angle and maximum height, the longer the flight time of the
object.

This time, you are going to describe the maximum height and range of a projectile
quantitatively using the given formula.

Solving for the Maximum Height of a Projectile

The maximum height of the object in projectile motion depends on the initial
velocity, the launch angle, and the acceleration due to gravity. Its unit of measurement
is “meters”.

(𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦)2 (𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒)2

Maximum height=
2 𝑋 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦
𝑉𝑜2 (𝑠𝑖𝑛Ꝋ)2
H =
Mathematically: 2𝑔

H = maximum height (meter)

Vo = initial velocity (meter per second)
g = acceleration due to gravity, i.e. (9.8ms−2)
θ = theta, angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or
degrees)

Sample Problem

A firefighter aims a fire hose upward, toward a fire in a building.

The water leaving the hose with a velocity of 32.0 meters per second. If
the firefighter holds the hose at an angle of 78.50, what is the maximum
height of the water stream?

Solution: The water droplets leaving the hose will be considered as the object in
projectile motion. So its maximum height can be found using this formula;

𝑉𝑜2 (𝑠𝑖𝑛Ꝋ)2
H = 2𝑔

Given:
V0 (initial velocity) =32 m/s
sinθ (sine theta) =sin78.5∘ =(0.98)2
g (acceleration due to gravity) =9.8 m/s2

Thus,
𝑉𝑜2 𝑥 (𝑠𝑖𝑛Ꝋ)2
H = 2𝑔

(32)2 𝑥 (𝑠𝑖𝑛78.5)2
H =

Thus, the maximum height ofHthe 50.2be m

Solving for the Range of a Projectile
In solving for the range of a projectile, you need the following quantities;
initial velocity, angle of projection, and acceleration due to gravity.

(𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦)2 𝑥 (𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒 2 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑡𝑎)

Range=
𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦

𝑉𝑜2 𝑠𝑖𝑛 2 Ꝋ
Mathematically: R = 𝑔

R = range (meter)
Vo = initial velocity (meter per second)
g = acceleration due to gravity, i.e. (9.8ms−2)
θ = theta, angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or
degrees)

Sample Problem:
Calculate the range covered by the ball when it was hit at an angle of 300
to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 31.9 m/s. Refer to the illustration below.

Range ?

Formula for range:

Thus,
𝑉𝑜2 (𝑠𝑖𝑛 2 Ꝋ)
R = 𝑔

(31.9)2 ( 𝑠𝑖𝑛2) (30) (1017.61) (0.866025)

R = = = 90 m
9.8 9.8

The maximum horizontal distance that can cover by the ball is 90 meters.

There are many ways on how range and height are solved. To simplify the
lesson, only this equation is presented and discussed.
