Kinematic Equations
vxi = vicosi, vyi = visini
vxf = vxi , xf = vxi t
vyf = vyi - gt
yf = vyi t - ()gt2
(vyf) 2 = (vyi)2 - 2gyf
t = 4.22 s
Kinematic Equations
vxi = vicosi, vyi = visini
vxf = vxi , xf = vxi t
vyf = vyi - gt
yf = vyi t - ()gt2
(vyf) 2 = (vyi)2 - 2gyf
vf = 35.8 m/s
Angle: tan(f) = (vyf/vxf) = -(31.3/17.3) = -1.8
f = -60.9

yf = vyi t - ()gt2
(vyf) 2 = (vyi)2 - 2gyf

b) What is the maximum height?
h = [(vyi)2/(2g)]
h = 0.72 m
Kinematic Equations
vxi = vicosi, vyi = visini ,vxf = vxi
xf = vxi t, vyf = vyi gt
yf = vyi t - ()gt2
(vyf) 2 = (vyi)2 - 2gyf
t = 3.19 s
At that time xf = 90.0 m
So vxi = (xf/t) = (90/3.19)

Example: A Punt!
vi = 20 m/s, i = 37
vxi = vicos(i) = 16 m/s, vyi= visin(i) = 12 m/s
Problem
Problem Solution
Choose the origin at ground level, under where the projectile is launched, &
up to be the positive y direction. For the projectile:
v0 65.0 m s ,
0 35.0, a y g , y0 115 m, v y 0 v0 sin 0 .
a. The time to reach the ground is found from the free fall equation, with
final height = 0. Choose positive time since the projectile was launched at t = 0.

c. At the instant just before the particle reaches the ground, the
horizontal component of its velocity is the constant
