    Projectile Motion Purpose: Apply the concepts of two-dimensional kinematics (projectile motion) to predict the impact point of an object as its velocity increases. Introduction: The most common example of an object that is moving in two dimensions is a projectile. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. That is to say a projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own‚ and is influenced only by the downward force

Arithmetic division of vectors is not possible at all. | Example: mass‚ volume‚ time‚ distance‚ speed‚ work‚ temperature | Example: displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ force | Distance and displacement Distance is defined as the ground covered by a moving object during its motion. Its SI unit is metre (m). It has only magnitude‚ but no direction. Distance can never be negative. The minimum value

    reference point for the position vector‚ it is enough to specify the coordinates x‚ y and z. For a moving object the position vector is a function of time. Velocity & Acceleration • Velocity is defined as the change in position over a change in time; thus the average velocity is and the instantaneous velocity is • For motion in one dimension the velocity is the slope of the position line plotted versus time. • The same logic is used in deriving the average and instantaneous acceleration resulting in: •

    Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration should be positive and constant. Materials * Ticker

    vertically; there is no horizontal deceleration in the absence of aerodynamic forces. Acceleration is the same regardless of the weight of the implement. Therefore‚ the vertical velocity of a projectile decreases by 9.8 m/s every second. Linear Acceleration Acceleration is a measure of the time rate of change of velocity. Acceleration can be caused by a change in speed or direction or both. For example‚ a skater who goes from a standstill to full speed quicker than another skater has greater acceleration
