Exploring Projectile Motion

This presentation will explore the fascinating world of projectile motion. We'll
cover its key concepts and real-world applications. Prepare for a deep dive into
this physics topic.
Key Concept: Force
Gravity

Gravity is the main force acting on a projectile. It causes vertical


acceleration downward.

Inertia

An object's tendency to resist changes in motion. This affects the


trajectory.

These are the important and influential forces of nature.


Applications of Projectile Motion

Sports Military Engineering

Projectile motion is very beneficial in many real-world situations.


Introduction to Projectile Motion

1 Impact of Air Resistance

2 Launch Angle

3 Initial Velocity

Projectile motion is the curved path that an object follows.


What is Projectile Motion?
Curved Path
1
It follows a curved trajectory. This is influenced by gravity.

Two Components
2
Has both horizontal and vertical components.

Constant Horizontal Velocity


3
Horizontal velocity is constant. Vertical velocity changes.

It combines inertia and gravity effects on an object's movement.


Types of Projectile Motion
Oblique Horizontal
Launched at an angle to the Launched horizontally from a
horizontal. height.

Vertical
Launched directly upwards.

Each type has unique characteristics and applications.


Key Concepts of Projectile Motion

Maximum Height
2 Highest vertical point reached by a
projectile.
Range
1
Horizontal distance traveled by a
projectile.

Time of Flight
3 Total time a projectile is in the air.

Understanding these will help your analysis of projectile motion.
