Module 5: Proj Motion Flashcards
Range
Total Horizontal Distance (x length)
Height
Total Vertical Distance (x length)
Proj. Motion 1, Initial Velocity
Initial Velocity = X Velocity
Proj. Motion 1, Final Velocity
X velocity and Final Y velocity (pythag w/angle)
Proj. Motion 1, Equations
s = ut (range)
v = at (final vertical velo)
s= 1/2at^2 (time, use vertical displacement)
Proj. Motion 2, Initial Velocity
Launched at an angle, use pythag
Proj. Motion 2, Vertex/Maximum Height
v = u + at, where v=0 for vert velocity, then do s = ut + 1/2at^2
Proj. Motion 2, Total time/Range
Double the time taken to reach vertex, use x displacement to find range, use t to find final velocities of x & y
Proj. Motion 3, Introduction
Two part equation, cannot double vertex time to find total time.
1st Equation - Is similar to Proj. Motion 2
2nd Equation - Constant falling object
Proj. Motion 3, Time
Use the maximum height, to determine s=1/2at^2 (time), then add times together to determine total time
Proj. Motion 3, Range
Use x velocity and time (x velocity is constant)
Proj. Motion 3, Height
v = u + at where v=0, find time taken to get to max height and use s=ut+1/2at^2
Proj. Motion 3, Range
Use x velocity and time (x velocity is constant)
