Understanding Projectile Motion Dynamics

The document discusses three types of projectile motion: horizontally launched projectiles which follow a curved path due to gravity; angle launched projectiles which rise to a peak before falling along a symmetrical path; and an example problem calculating the time and horizontal displacement of a rock thrown horizontally from a cliff with given values for height, initial horizontal speed, and gravitational acceleration. The key aspects of projectile motion discussed are the independent horizontal and vertical motions under the influence of gravity, along with parabolic trajectories for objects launched at an angle.

Which of the three situations is/are

more likely to happen in real-life?


Projectile Motion
Is a form of motion where an object
given an initial velocity is thrown or
projected and is allowed to be
acted on the gravity in a curved-
liked path.
Projectile Is the object.

Trajectory Is the path followed


by the projectile.
Horizontally Launched Projectile
Horizontally Launched Projectile

Are projectiles that are launched


with an initial velocity from an
elevated position and follows a
curved- like path to the ground .
Horizontally Launched Projectile

The motion of the man as it dives


into the water is moving along the
curve path downwards due to a
natural force called gravitational
force of the earth or gravity.
Gravity is the natural force that
causes the objects to fall towards
the earth.
Hence the acceleration due to
gravity is always directed
downwards and has a value of -
9.8m/s².
Angle Launched Projectile
Angle Launched Projectile

Are projectile launched at an angle


with respect to the horizontal and
rises to a peak while moving
horizontally.
Upon reaching the peak, the
projectile falls with a motion that is
symmetrical to its path upwards to
peak.

PARABOLA
An angle-launched projectile
exhibits a full parabolic trajectory
motion .
This shows that as player kicked
the rattan ball in air, the ball
eventually go back to the ground
still due to gravity as it moves
horizontally.
Hence projectile motion consists of
horizontal and vertical motion
working independently.
A rock is thrown horizontally fom
the top of the cliff 88m high, with a
horizontal speed of 25 m/s. Find t
and dx?
