Lecture 6-projectile motion
• For every day projectiles we will assume gravitational acceleration is constant. Valid
for-
•
• Near earth’s surface
• Over a distance much shorter than earth’s radius
Constant force motion
• Under a constant force
◦ Acceleration graph is a straight line
◦ Velocity is a straight line
◦ Displacement- upside down parabola
• 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
