  1. Projectile Motion The motion of an object under gravity if it is not just going straight up or straight down.

  2. Components of Vectors Velocity Vector θ Horizontal θ is the angle of the velocity vector above the horizontal.

  3. The velocity vector with the horizontal component and the vertical component Vertical Component vv = v·sinθ Velocity Vector θ Horizontal Horizontal Component vh= v∙cosθ

  4. Motion of a Projectile

  5. Using Components to Calculate the Motion of Projectiles • After calculating the horizontal component of the velocity and the vertical component of the velocity, the change in horizontal displacement and the change in vertical displacement can be found. • The horizontal motion uses the formula for uniform motion • The vertical motion uses a formula for uniformly accelerated motion as the acceleration due to gravity is always horizontal

  6. Time is on our side • The one thing that the horizontal and vertical motions have in common is time.
