MAIN IDEA

A projectile’s horizontal motion is independent of its vertical motion.

Essential Questions

• How are the vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile related?

• What are the relationships between a projectile’s height, time in the air, initial velocity and horizontal distance traveled?

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

Review Vocabulary

• Motion diagram a series of images showing the positions of a moving object taken at regular time intervals.

New Vocabulary• Projectile• Trajectory

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• If you observed the movement of a golf ball being hit from a tee, a frog hopping, or a free throw being shot with a basketball, you would notice that all of these objects move through the air along similar paths, as do baseballs, and arrows.

• Each path rises and then falls, always curving downward along a parabolic path.

Path of a Projectile

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• An object shot through the air is called a projectile.

• A projectile can be a football or a drop of water.

• You can draw a free-body diagram of a launched projectile and identify all the forces that are acting on it.

Path of a Projectile (cont.)

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• No matter what the object is, after a projectile has been given an initial thrust, if you ignore air resistance, it moves through the air only under the force of gravity.

• The force of gravity is what causes the object to curve downward in a parabolic flight path. Its path through space is called its trajectory.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• You can determine an object’s trajectory if you know its initial velocity.

• Two types of projectile motion are horizontal and angled.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• When a projectile is launched at an angle, the initial velocity has a vertical component as well as a horizontal component.

• If the object is launched upward, like a ball tossed straight up in the air, it rises with slowing speed, reaches the top of its path, and descends with increasing speed.

Angled Launches

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• The adjoining figure shows the separate vertical- and horizontal-motion diagrams for the trajectory of the ball.

Angled Launches (cont.)

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• At each point in the vertical direction, the velocity of the object as it is moving upward has the same magnitude as when it is moving downward.

• The only difference is that the directions of the two velocities are opposite.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• The adjoining figure defines two quantities associated with a trajectory.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• One is the maximum height, which is the height of the projectile when the vertical velocity is zero and the projectile has only its horizontal-velocity component.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• The other quantity depicted is the range, R, which is the horizontal distance that the projectile travels when the initial and final heights are the same.

• Not shown is the flight time, which is how much time the projectile is in the air.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• For football punts, flight time is often called hang time.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


The Flight of a Ball

A ball is launched at 4.5 m/s at 66° above the horizontal. What are the maximum height and flight time of the ball?

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

Step 1: Analyze and Sketch the Problem

The Flight of a Ball (cont.)

• Establish a coordinate system with the initial position of the ball at the origin.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• Show the positions of the ball at the beginning, at the maximum height, and at the end of the flight.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• Draw a motion diagram showing v, a, and Fnet.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Known:

yi = 0.0 m

θi = 66°

vi = 4.5 m/s

ay = −9.8 m/s2

Vy, max = 0.0 m/s

Unknown:

ymax = ?

t = ?

Identify the known and unknown variables.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Step 2: Solve for the Unknown

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Find the y-component of vi.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Substitute vi = 4.5 m/s, θi = 66°

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Use symmetry to find the y-component of vf

vyf = - vyi = - 4.1 m/s

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Solve for the maximum height.

Vy,max2 = vyi

2 + 2a(ymax – yi)

(0.0 m/s2) = vyi + 2a(ymax – 0.0m/s)

ymax = - vyi / 2a

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Substitute vyi = 4.1 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s2

ymax = (4.1 m/s)2 = 0.86m 2(-9.8 m/s2)

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Solve for the time to return to the launching height.

Vyf = vyi + at

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Solve for t.

t = vyf – vyi

a

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Substitute vyf = - 4.1 m/s, vyi = 4.1 m/s, a = - 9.80 m/s2

-4.1 m/s – 4.1 m/s = 0.84 s -9.8 m/s2

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Step 3: Evaluate the Answer

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


Are the units correct?

Dimensional analysis verifies that the units are correct.

Do the signs make sense?

All of the signs should be positive.

Are the magnitudes realistic?

0.84 s is fast, but an initial velocity of 4.5 m/s makes this time reasonable.

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


The steps covered were:


Establish a coordinate system with the initial position of the ball at the origin.

Show the positions of the ball at the beginning, at the maximum height, and at the end of the flight.

Draw a motion diagram showing v, a, and Fnet.

SECTION6.1

Find the y-component of vi.

Find an expression for time.

Solve for the maximum height.

Solve for the time to return to the launching height.


SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion


• So far, air resistance has been ignored in the analysis of projectile motion.

• Forces from the air can significantly change the motion of an object.

– Ex. Flying a kite, parachute for a skydiver.

Forces from Air

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

• Picture water flowing from a hose: – If wind is blowing in the same direction as the

water’s initial movement, the horizontal distance the water travels increases.

– If wind is blowing in the opposite direction as the water’s initial movement, the horizontal distance the water travels decreases.

• Even if the air is not moving, it can have a significant effect on some moving objects. – Ex. Paper falling to the ground.

Forces from Air (cont.)

SECTION6.1

Projectile Motion

A boy standing on a balcony drops one ball and throws another with an initial horizontal velocity of 3 m/s. Which of the following statements about the horizontal and vertical motions of the balls is correct? (Neglect air resistance.)A. The balls fall with a constant vertical velocity and a constant

horizontal acceleration.

B. The balls fall with a constant vertical velocity as well as a constant horizontal velocity.

C. The balls fall with a constant vertical acceleration and a constant horizontal velocity.

D. The balls fall with a constant vertical acceleration and an increasing horizontal velocity.

SECTION6.1

Section Check

Answer

Reason: The vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile are independent. The only force acting on the two balls is the force of gravity. Because it acts in the vertical direction, the balls accelerates in the vertical direction. The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the flight of the balls.

SECTION6.1

Section Check

Which of the following conditions is met when a projectile reaches its maximum height?

A. The vertical component of the velocity is zero.

B. The vertical component of the velocity is maximum.

C. The horizontal component of the velocity is maximum.

D. The acceleration in the vertical direction is zero.

SECTION6.1

Section Check

Answer

Reason: The maximum height is the height at which the object stops its upward motion and starts falling down, i.e. when the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero.

SECTION6.1

Section Check

Suppose you toss a ball up and catch it while riding in a bus. Why does the ball fall in your hands rather than falling at the place where you tossed it?

SECTION6.1

Section Check

Trajectory depends on the frame of reference.

For an observer on the ground, when the bus is moving, your hand is also moving with the same velocity as the bus, i.e. the bus, your hand, and the ball will have the same horizontal velocity. Therefore, the ball will follow a trajectory and fall back into your hands.

Essential Questions• Why is an object moving in a circle at a constant speed

accelerating?

• How does centripetal acceleration depend upon the object’s speed and the radius of the circle?

• What causes centripetal acceleration?

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

Review Vocabulary

• Average velocity the change in position divided by the time during which the change occurred; the slope of an object’s position-time graph.

New Vocabulary• Uniform circular motion• Centripetal acceleration• Centripetal force

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

Describing Circular Motion

Click image to view movie.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

• The angle between position vectors r1 and r2 is the same as that between velocity vectors v1 and v2.

• Thus, ∆r/r = ∆v/v. The equation does not change if both sides are divided by ∆t.

Centripetal Acceleration

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

Centripetal Acceleration (cont.)

• However, v = ∆r/∆t and a = ∆v/∆t

• Substituting v = ∆r/∆t in the left-hand side and a = ∆v/∆t in the right-hand side gives the following equation:

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

• Solve the equation for acceleration and give it the special symbol ac, for centripetal acceleration.

• Centripetal acceleration always points to the center of the circle. Its magnitude is equal to the square of the speed, divided by the radius of motion.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• One way of measuring the speed of an object moving in a circle is to measure its period, T, the time needed for the object to make one complete revolution.

• During this time, the object travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle, 2πr. The object’s speed, then, is represented by v = 2πr/T.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• The acceleration of an object moving in a circle is always in the direction of the net force acting on it, there must be a net force toward the center of the circle. This force can be provided by any number of agents.

• When an Olympic hammer thrower swings the hammer, the force is the tension in the chain attached to the massive ball.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• When an object moves in a circle, the net force toward the center of the circle is called the centripetal force.

• To analyze centripetal acceleration situations accurately, you must identify the agent of the force that causes the acceleration. Then you can apply Newton’s second law for the component in the direction of the acceleration in the following way.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• The net centripetal force on an object moving in a circle is equal to the object’s mass times the centripetal acceleration.

• Newton’s Second Law for Circular Motion

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• When solving problems, it is useful to choose a coordinate system with one axis in the direction of the acceleration.

• For circular motion, the direction of the acceleration is always toward the center of the circle.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• Rather than labeling this axis x or y, call it c, for centripetal acceleration. The other axis is in the direction of the velocity, tangent to the circle. It is labeled tang for tangential.

• Centripetal force is just another name for the net force in the centripetal direction. It is the sum of all the real forces, those for which you can identify agents that act along the centripetal axis.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion


• According to Newton’s first law, you will continue moving with the same velocity unless there is a net force acting on you.

Centrifugal “Force”

• The passenger in the car would continue to move straight ahead if it were not for the force of the car acting in the direction of the acceleration.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

• The so-called centrifugal, or outward force, is a fictitious, nonexistent force.

Centrifugal “Force” (cont.)

• You feel as if you are being pushed only because you are accelerating relative to your surroundings. There is no real force because there is no agent exerting a force.

SECTION6.2

Circular Motion

Explain why an object moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating.

SECTION6.2

Section Check

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the object is accelerating due to its constant change in the direction of its motion.

What is the relationship between the magnitude of centripetal acceleration (ac) and an object’s speed (v)?

A.

B.

C.

D.

SECTION6.2

Section Check

Reason: From the equation for centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration always points to the center of the circle. Its magnitude is equal to the square of the speed divided by the radius of the motion.

Answer

SECTION6.2

Section Check

What is the direction of the velocity vector of an accelerating object?

A. toward the center of the circle

B. away from the center of the circle

C. along the circular path

D. tangent to the circular path

SECTION6.2

Section Check

Answer

Reason: While constantly changing, the velocity vector for an object in uniform circular motion is always tangent to the circle. Vectors are never curved and therefore cannot be along a circular path.

MAIN IDEA

An object’s velocity depends on the reference frame chosen.

Essential Questions• What is relative velocity?

• How do you find the velocities of an object in different reference frames?

Relative VelocitySECTION6.3

Review Vocabulary

• resultant a vector that results from the sum of two other vectors.

New Vocabulary• Reference frame


• Suppose you are in a school bus that is traveling at a velocity of 8 m/s in a positive direction. You walk with a velocity of 1 m/s toward the front of the bus.

• If a friend of yours is standing on the side of the road watching the bus go by, how fast would your friend say that you are moving?

Relative Motion in One Dimension


• If the bus is traveling at 8 m/s, this means that the velocity of the bus is 8 m/s, as measured by your friend in a coordinate system fixed to the road.

• When you are standing still, your velocity relative to the road is also 8 m/s, but your velocity relative to the bus is zero.

Relative Motion in One Dimension (cont.)


• In the previous example, your motion is viewed from different coordinate systems.

• A coordinate system from which motion is viewed is a reference frame.

Relative Velocity


SECTION6.3

• Walking at 1m/s towards the front of the bus means your velocity is measured in the reference from of the bus.

• Your velocity in the road’s reference frame is different

• You can rephrase the problem as follows: given the velocity of the bus relative to the road and your velocity relative to the bus, what is your velocity relative to the road?

Relative Velocity


SECTION6.3

• When a coordinate system is moving, two velocities are added if both motions are in the same direction, and one is subtracted from the other if the motions are in opposite directions.

• In the given figure, you will find that your velocity relative to the street is 9 m/s, the sum of 8 m/s and 1 m/s.

Relative Velocity


SECTION6.3

• You can see that when the velocities are along the same line, simple addition or subtraction can be used to determine the relative velocity.

Relative Velocity


SECTION6.3

• Mathematically, relative velocity is represented as vy/b + vb/r = vy/r.

• The more general form of this equation is:

Relative Velocity va/b + vb/c + va/c

• The relative velocity of object a to object c is the vector sum of object a’s velocity relative to object b and object b’s velocity relative to object c.

Relative Velocity


SECTION6.3

• The method for adding relative velocities also applies to motion in two dimensions.

• As with one-dimensional motion, you first draw a vector diagram to describe the motion and then you solve the problem mathematically.

Relative Motion in Two Dimensions


• For example, airline pilots must take into account the plane’s speed relative to the air, and their direction of flight relative to the air. They also must consider the velocity of the wind at the altitude they are flying relative to the ground.

Relative Motion in Two Dimensions (cont.)

Motion in Two Dimensions

• The vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile are independent. When there is no air resistance, the horizontal motion component does not experience an acceleration and has constant velocity; the vertical motion component of a projectile experiences a constant acceleration under these same conditions.

Projectile MotionSECTION6.1

Study Guide

• The curved flight path a projectile follows is called a trajectory and is a parabola. The height, time of flight, initial velocity and horizontal distance of this path are related by the equations of motion. The horizontal distance a projectile travels before returning to its initial height depends on the acceleration due to gravity an on both components on the initial velocity.
