    The document discusses projectile motion, explaining that projectiles moving in two dimensions can be analyzed by extending the SUVAT equations used in one-dimensional motion. It provides two examples of calculating the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile projected at an angle, either horizontally or at an arbitrary angle. The document notes that if an object is projected vertically at an angle, its motion can be modeled as a particle ignoring air resistance, with only gravity acting downward as a constant force, while there is no force in the horizontal direction.

    Projectile Motion

    Overview
    In Mechanics Year 1 we used SUVAT to analyse the motion of a particle projected
    in one dimension either horizontally or vertically. In this chapter we extend this
    to look at projectiles moving in a two dimensional plane.

    1:: Horizontally projected 2:: Projection at any angle


    “A particle is projected horizontally at “A cabbage is projected from ground
    20 ms-1, at a distance 50m above the level at 30 ms-1 at an angle of . How far
    ground. How far along the ground away is the cabbage when it hits the
    does it travel?”
    ground?”

    If an object is projected vertically upwards at an angle. It can be modelled as a


    particle, ignoring air resistance, thus gravity will be the only force acting on it. If
    we assume g is constant and acting downwards then acceleration is constant and
    there is no force acting in the horizontal direction

    Initial velocity may be given by the speed and angle of projection.
