ā—¦ Gravity acts only vertical so: ļ€®
ā–Ŗ There in only acceleration in the vertical direction ļ€®
ā–Ŗ The horizontal velocity remains constant because of inertia ļ€®
ā–Ŗ I.e. if something is fired straight up and something is fired at an angle if
they have the same vertical velocity they will reach the same

Document Summary

Lecture 6-projectile motion: for every day projectiles we will assume gravitational acceleration is constant. Displacement- upside down parabola: near earth"s surface, over a distance much shorter than earth"s radius. Constant force motion: under a constant force, equations of motion, a(t)= a, v(t)= v(initial) +at, y(t)= y(initial) + v(y)t +1/2at^2, x(t)=x(initial) +v(x)t, general equation: r= r +vt +1/2at^2, each axis of motion is independent of the other axes. This is for a given direction which we"ve called y. There in only acceleration in the vertical direction. The horizontal velocity remains constant because of inertia.
