Learning Competencies
• Describeprojectile motion qualitatively
• Label parts of projectile motion
• Describe projectile motion quantitatively
3.
What is Motion?
•Motion is the change in position of an object
• It can be straight or curved
• Projectile motion is a type of curved motion
4.
What is ProjectileMotion?
• Motion of an object thrown or launched into
the air
• Only gravity affects the motion (air resistance
ignored)
• Examples: thrown ball, kicked soccer ball
5.
Key Idea
• Horizontaland vertical motions are
independent
• Gravity affects only the vertical motion
Quick Quiz
• 1.What force affects vertical motion?
• 2. Is horizontal velocity constant?
• 3. What is the path of a projectile called?
• 4. Where is vertical velocity zero?
• 5. What motion is affected by gravity?
• 6. True or False: Horizontal and vertical
motions are independent
For Different Learners
