Opposite of vector addition Vectors are resolved into x and y components For the vector shown at right, find the vector components vx (velocity in the x direction) and vy (velocity in the y direction). Assume that that the angle is 20.0˚. Answers: vx = 89 km/h vy = 32 km/h Resolving Vectors into Components
What do you think? • Suppose two coins fall off of a table simultaneously. One coin falls straight downward. The other coin slides off the table horizontally and lands several meters from the base of the table. • Which coin will strike the floor first? • Explain your reasoning. • Would your answer change if the second coin was moving so fast that it landed 50 m from the base of the table? Why or why not?
Projectile Motion • Projectiles: objects that are launched into the air • tennis balls, arrows, baseballs, wrestlers • Gravity affects the motion • Path is parabolic if air resistance is ignored • Path is shortened under the effects of air resistance
Components of Projectile Motion • As the runner launches herself (vi), she is moving in the x and y directions.
Analysis of Projectile Motion • Horizontal motion • No horizontal acceleration • Horizontal velocity (vx) is constant. • How would the horizontal distance traveled change during successive time intervals of 0.1 s each? • Horizontal motion of a projectile launched at an angle:
Analysis of Projectile Motion • Vertical motion is simple free fall. • Acceleration (ag) is a constant -9.81 m/s2 . • Vertical velocity changes. • How would the vertical distance traveled change during successive time intervals of 0.1 seconds each? • Vertical motion of a projectile launched at an angle:

Projectile Motion - Special Case Initial velocity is horizontal only (vi,y = 0).
Projectile Motion Summary • Projectile motion is free fall with an initial horizontal speed. • Vertical and horizontal motion are independent of each other. • Horizontally the velocity is constant. • Vertically the acceleration is constant (-9.81 m/s2 ). • Components are used to solve for vertical and horizontal quantities. • Time is the same for both vertical and horizontal motion. • Velocity at the peak is purely horizontal (vy= 0).
Classroom Practice Problem (Horizontal Launch) • People in movies often jump from buildings into pools. If a person jumps horizontally by running straight off a rooftop from a height of 30.0 m to a pool that is 5.0 m from the building, with what initial speed must the person jump? • Answer: 2.0 m/s
Classroom Practice Problem(Projectile Launched at an Angle) • A golfer practices driving balls off a cliff and into the water below. The edge of the cliff is 15 m above the water. If the golf ball is launched at 51 m/s at an angle of 15°, how far does the ball travel horizontally before hitting the water? • Answer: 1.7 x 102 m (170 m)
Now what do you think? • Suppose two coins fall off of a table simultaneously. One coin falls straight downward. The other coin slides off the table horizontally and lands several meters from the base of the table. • Which coin will strike the floor first? • Explain your reasoning. • Would your answer change if the second coin was moving so fast that it landed 50 m from the base of the table? Why or why not?
