Projectile Motion 
Falling things, and rockets ‘n’ that…
Projectile Motion 
This involves any objects under the influence 
of gravity. 
• Objects which are dropped (not travelling 
horizontally) and 
• Objects which are launched (with a horizontal 
component).
Objects Under the Influence 
of Gravity: 
• Everything close to the Earth’s surface is accelerating 
towards the Earth at a rate of 9.81 푚푠¯2 due to gravity. 
• This means in problems involving falling we can always 
use a= ퟗ. ퟖퟏ 풎풔¯² in kinematic equations. 
• For every kg of mass an object experiences a 
weight force of 9.81 Newtons (N) 
• Given by: W=mg 
Where W is weight
Continued… 
• What does this mean for objects dropped from the 
same height? 
• Objects dropped from the same height will hit the ground at 
the same time, regardless of weight (ignoring differences in air 
resistance) 
http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/projectiles.htm#1 
• Solve the same way you would any other kinematics 
problem… 
• State what you know, what do you want to find? 
• Choose an equation and solve for your unknown. 
• Look out for key words like.. 
“dropped”, “from rest” and “stationary:” 
Rutter 
p. 32,33 – 
odd 
questions
What will hit the 
ground first a bullet 
dropped or a bullet 
fired from the same 
height? 
Discuss with your neighbour…

Projectile Motion 
• Projectile motion follows a parabolic path i.e. 
http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/projectile-motion/projectile-motion_en.html 
• It has a horizontal (x) component and a vertical (y) 
component. 
• The horizontal component is not affected by gravity, 
so use separate equations for the different 
components.
