Projectile Motion Position (x,y)during flight traces a downwards opening parabolic path: v0 = muzzle velocity (m/s) θ = launch angle (degrees) g = 9.81 m/s 2 vy0 = y velocity (m/s) tu = time up (s) g = 9.81 m/s 2 tu = time up (s) vy0 = y velocity (m/s) g = 9.81 m/s 2 Three Projectile Equations (Not in Resources!) Time to the top of the parabola: Maximum height (m): Maximum Range (m)(x position) : Ranger Details Note: given some launch velocity, two angles give the same range: the given angle, and that angle subtracted from 90 degrees. A projectile's maximum range (in a vacuum) is at 45 degrees. With air resistance, the best angle is a bit less. Can you guess why? At a lower angle there’s a slightly greater initial horizontal velocity, so when projectiles launched at 45 degrees are landing, those at lower angle have already travelled farther.

3.3 Projectile Motion – Part 1 Projectile MotionWhen a projectile launches, the muzzle velocity (v0) (speed leaving the launcher) can be decomposed:

Projectile MotionPosition (x,y) during flight traces a downwards opening parabolic path:

v0 = muzzle velocity (m/s)θ = launch angle (degrees)g = 9.81 m/s2

vy0 = y velocity (m/s)tu = time up (s)g = 9.81 m/s2

tu = time up (s)vy0 = y velocity (m/s)g = 9.81 m/s2

Example 1A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity (v0) of 30.0 m/s at 35º.  

How far will it go (what is its range)? 

Example 1: AnswerHow far will the ball go?

Follow up question: What other angle could make the ball go that far?

Check it with the range equation.

Example 2The same golf ball is hit with an initial velocity (v0) of 30.0 m/s at 35º.  

What is the maximum height?

What do you need to find first?  Second?

Example 2: AnswerTo find maximum height, we need time to the top.

To find that, we need the initial vertical velocity component vy0.

Time to the top:

Max height:
