Gravity an Projectiles Acceleration of Gravity Loses spee for each interval of time it rises on an upwar throw Gains at same rate on its ownwar path Upwar motion Acte upon by gravity, just like a falling object Goes up slower an slower, until upwar velocity reaches zero Goes shorter an shorter istances in same time interval Slows at m/s, the acceleration of gravity Distance, velocity, time of upwar-moving object Velocity at position on the way up is the same as velocity in the same position on the way own (neglecting air resistance) Velocity reaches zero, object begins to fall Then is falling uner the influence of gravity Types of Motion Linear in a straight line Non-linear curve path Projectiles have curve path calle parabola Parabolic curves are parabolas Projectiles Move both horizontally an vertically Vertical motion influence by gravity Horizontal motion not influence by gravity Are NOT epenent upon one another Roll the Ball Freely falling object Has acceleration ownwar Pushe away from table Has velocity outwar Combines to have a parabolic path Photo of ball falling Path of Ball from Sie Ball Rolling off table horizont al http://galileo.rice.eu/lib/stuent_work/experiment95/paraintr.html

What if you roppe a cannon ball off the cliff at exactly the instant a cannon was fire in the horizontal irection? Which cannon ball woul hit the groun first?

Want to fin horz /t, We can calculate t vert = (½) gt, We know horz, vert, g How fast was ball thrown? vert = (½) gt vert, = 5 m g = m/s Solve for how long to fall m = gt 5m = ( ) t s 5m t = m ( ) s 5m t = = s m ( ) s How fast was ball thrown? Want to fin v v = horz /t We calculate t = s Distance= m v = m/ s v= m/s How fast was ball thrown? v = m/s = m/s (7.5 mi/h) m 6s 6 min km.6mi = 44.6mi / h s min h m km Object thrown horizontally Falls the same istance in the same time, no matter the spee of the throw No gravity Satellite as projectile 6 m/s Satellite as projectile 8 m/s Satellite as projectile No gravity http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmeia/vectors/tp.gif 6 m/s http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmeia/vectors/6kms.gif 8 m/s http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmeia/vectors/co.gif 5
Object thrown horizontally Falls the same istance in the same time, no matter the spee of the throw Earth s surface is 5 meters lower for every 8 meters horizontal istance Earth s surface is 5 meters lower for every 8 meters horizontal istance If it is thrown 8m/s, it will never reach the surface Because it falls just as fast as the surface eparts from a horizontal path If it is thrown 8m/s, it will never reach the surface (nearly 8, mi/h) Because it falls as fast as the surface eparts from a horizontal path Acceleration of Gravity Free fall of object Spee increases m/s for every secon of fall m/s = m s s Time elapse (secons) 3 4 Spee (meters/ secon) 3 4 Spee an istance of falling objects Remember that velocity is efine as istance / time Average velocity can be etermine over time intervals average velocity= v + v Time elapse (secon s) 3 4 Spee (meters/ secon) 3 4 Acceleration an falling objects Remember that acceleration is efine as change of velocity / time Which can be rearrange to report velocity An we use the acceleration of gravity for freely falling objects a = Δv t at = Δv gt = Δv Freely falling object Velocity is a function of how long it has been falling Distance is also a function of how long it has been falling because An average velocity is sum of two velocities ivie by gt = Δv vt = v + v Freely falling objects We will use this equation An substitute average velocity calculate from two velocities Which will be calculate from v average vt = v v = + gt = v Freely falling objects So the master equation Substitute the average velocity Substitute the velocity calculate from the acceleration of gravity An remember the object starts at rest vt = v gt = + v v t = + gt t = 6
v = v =gt Distance of falling object Now we have: Which simplifies to: + gt t = gt t = gt = Time of falling object gt = An if you know the istance you can gt = calculate the time it has fallen gt = Multiply both sies by gt Divie both sies by g = t = Take square root of g g g both sies to get time: t = t = g Hang time for basketball player Spu Webb slam unk contest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buu7rj9hpw He can jump.5 m.
