MOTION IN

TWO
DIMENSION
I CAN….
• Extend the definition of position,
velocity, and acceleration to two
dimensions using vector representation.
• Deduce the consequence of the
independence of vertical and horizontal
components of projectile motion.
PROJECTILE MOTION FOR
AN OBJECT LAUNCHED
HORIZONTALLY
PROJECTILES
• Objects that are launched into
the air.
TRAJECTORY
• The path followed by a
projectile in motion
EXAMPLE:
PROJECTILE MOTION
• or the object's trajectory, is
described in terms of position,
velocity, and acceleration.
• Even with only an object's current
location, velocity, and acceleration,
we can calculate when and where
the object will land.
PROJECTILE MOTION
• Our knowledge that perpendicular
components of vectors do not affect each
other allow us to easily analyze the
motion of projectiles.
PROJECTILE MOTION
Each vertical line on the
diagram represents 5 m.
Since the blue ball has a
horizontal velocity of 10
m/s, you will see that for
every second, the blue
ball has moved
horizontally 10 m.
PROJECTILE MOTION
In the diagram, two balls
(one red and one blue)
are dropped at the same
time. The red ball is
released with no
horizontal motion and the
blue ball is dropped but
also given a horizontal
velocity of 10 m/s.
PROJECTILE MOTION
That is, in each second,
the blue ball has increased
its horizontal distance by
10 m. This horizontal
motion is due to the ball's
constant velocity.
PROJECTILE MOTION
The red ball was dropped
straight down with no
horizontal velocity and
therefore, in each
succeeding second, the
red ball falls straight down
with no horizontal
motion.
PROJECTILE MOTION

The increasing distances

between seconds in the
red ball's motion indicates
that this motion is
accelerating.
• A very important point here is that the vertical
motion of these two balls is identical.
• That is, they each fall exactly the same
distance vertically in each succeeding second.
• The constant horizontal velocity of the blue
ball has no effect on its accelerated vertical
motion.
• Therefore, the vertical motion of the blue ball
can be analyzed exactly the same as the
vertical motion of the red ball.
EXAMPLE 1
• If an arrow is fired from a bow with a
perfectly horizontal velocity of 60.0 m/s and
the arrow was 2.00 m above the ground
when the it was released, how long and how
far will the arrow fly horizontally before it
strikes the ground?
Given:
2.00 m above- vertical distance
60 m/s- Velocity

Find: Horizontal Distance

 SOLUTION:
•
 B.
• The time required for the fall is multiplied by
the horizontal velocity to get the horizontal
distance.

The arrow will fly 38.3 m horizontally

before it strikes the ground.
EXAMPLE 2.
• A rock was thrown horizontally from a 100.0
m high cliff. It strikes the ground 90.0 m from
the base of the cliff. At what speed was it
thrown?
• Given:
100.0 m above- vertical distance
90.0 m- horizontal distance

• Find: Velocity
WE CAN CALCULATE HOW LONG IT
TAKES FOR A ROCK TO FREE FALL
100.0 M
•
THEN DIVIDE THIS TIME INTO THE
HORIZONTAL DISTANCE TO GET THE
HORIZONTAL VELOCITY

The velocity of the rock is 19.9 m/s

ACTIVITY
1. A baseball is thrown horizontally with an
initial velocity of 20 m/s from a height of
1.5 m. How long will it take to reach the
ground? How far will it go horizontally?
2. A marble is thrown out of the window of a 3
m high house with a velocity of 32 m/s.
How long it would take to reach the ground?
How far will the marble travel before it hits
the ground?

Guide Questions:
1. What does the video represent?
2. How is projectile motion demonstrated in
volleyball?
3. How will you apply projectile motion in
sports?
1. The video represents projectile motion, the curved path
of an object under gravity's influence.

2. In volleyball, projectile motion is seen when players

serve or spike the ball, observing its curved trajectory.

3. Projectile motion is applied in sports like basketball,

soccer, and baseball for shooting, passing, or kicking,
helping athletes predict ball paths and adjust their
movements.
