Projectile at Angle

1. When a projectile is launched at an angle, it has both a horizontal velocity component that remains constant and a vertical velocity component that is affected by gravity. 2. The maximum height of a projectile is reached when its vertical velocity is 0, at which point it will begin descending on a symmetrical trajectory. 3. The range and maximum height of a projectile can be calculated using formulas that involve the initial velocity, launch angle, and gravitational acceleration.

Projectile Launched at an Angle

Projectile Launched at an Angle


Projectiles Launched at an Angle
● When a projectile is launched upward at an angle, its velocity has two
components:
● 1. A constant horizontal velocity that moves in the same direction as the launch,
the acceleration of which is zero; and
Projectiles Launched at an Angle
● 2. An upward positive vertical velocity component that is decreasing in
magnitude until it becomes zero at the top of the trajectory (therefore it is no
longer goes up any further). But because gravity makes it accelerate downward
at a rate of 9.8 m/s per second or 9.8 m/s2, (therefore it stays at rest only for an
instant) it will start to descend with an increasing negative vertical velocity until
it is stopped by something. So as the projectile moves forward horizontally with
uniform velocity, its vertical velocity is also accelerated creating a trajectory
that is a parabola.

● 3. Objects that are projected from and land on the same horizontal surface will
have a path symmetric about a vertical line through a point at the maximum
height of the projectile.

● 4. The maximum height (dy)of the projectile is when the projectile reaches zero
vertical velocity. From this point, the vertical component of the velocity vector
will point downwards.
● 5. The horizontal displacement of the projectile is called the range (d x) of the
projectile and depends on the initial velocity of the object.

● 6. If an object is projected at the same initial speed, but two complementary
angles of projection, the range of the projectile will be the same.
● 7. The angle at which the object is launched dictates the range, height, and time
of flight the object will experience while in projectile motion.

Solving for Maximum Height
dy = Vx2 (sinϴ)2
2g
● Where:
● dy= maximum height (m)
● Vx2 = horizontal velocity (m/s)
● sinϴ= sin theta, angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane
● g- acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)
Solving for Maximum Height

dy = Vx2 (sinϴ)2
2g
Solving for Range
dx = Vx2 sin2 ϴ
g
● Where:
● dx= maximum horizontal velocity or range (m)
● Vx2 = horizontal velocity (m/s)
● sinϴ= sin theta, angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane
● g- acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)

degrees above the ground with the initial velocity of
70.0 m/s. The fuse of the firework is timed to ignite
at its highest point above the ground.
