On TargetIn this activity, you will analyze several factors that affect the motion of aprojectile and use your understanding of these factors to predict the pathof a projectile. Finally, you will design a projectile launcher and hit a target a known distance away.
QuestionWhat factors affect the path of a projectile?
Objectives Formulate models and then summarize the factors that affect the
motion of a projectile.
Use models to predict where a projectile will land.
Procedure1. Brainstorm and list as many factors as you are able to think of that
may affect the path of a projectile.
2. Create a design for your projectile launcher and decide what objectwill be your projectile shot by your launcher.
3. Taking the design of your launcher into account, determine whichtwo factors are most likely to have a significant effect on the flightpath of your projectile.
4. Check the design of your launcher and discuss your two factors withyour teacher and make any necessary changes to your setup beforecontinuing.

Walking on the MoonOn Earth, acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is determined by themagnitude of the gravitational force on the surface of Earth, which is in turn determined by Earthsmass and radius.
As you may know, objects weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. This is true because even thoughthe moons radius is about one fourth Earths radius, it has only about 12 percent of Earths mass(7.361022 kg versus Earths 5.981024 kg). Thus the force of gravity on the surface of the Moon ismuch smaller than it is on the surface of Earth. This difference in the force of gravity explains why, invideotapes of the Moon, astronauts seem to float when they walk.
Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.7 m/s2, less than one fifth of theacceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth. Thus the vertical component of projectile motion onthe Moon is different from the vertical component of projectile motion on Earth. The path of a projec-tile on the Moon still makes a parabola, but it is a broader parabola than the projectile would follow onEarth.
1. A basketball star is able to jump to a height of 1.0 m above the ground. On Earth, how long willhe be in the air? You may want to draw a diagram of the forces acting on the basketball player tohelp you answer the question.
2. What is the basketball players initial vertical velocity?

2. The farther back the rubber band isstretched, the farther the range. As the anglechanges, the range also changes. The maxi-mum range occurs at approximately 45.
Conclude and Apply
1. The launch speed and angle are major fac-tors affecting the range of the trajectory.
2. Answers will vary.3. The laws that govern physics are not subject
to the same systematic and random errorthat students have in making measurementsand following procedures.
4. No answer required.
Going Further
1. If this experiment is done outside, windmight play a significant role by affecting thepath of the projectile in flight.
2. If the target is elevated above the launcher,you may need to have either a higher angleor greater launch speed in order to reach thetarget.
3. If the launcher is elevated above the target,you may need to decrease the launch angleor to decrease the launch speed in order tohit the target.
Real-World Physics
1. A field-goal kicker can never kick the balltoo high over the cross bar; he can, however,kick it with too great a launch angle to getthe required distance.
2. If you ignore air resistance, the ball shouldbe hit at an angle of 45; otherwise, itshould be hit at an angle slightly less than45.

Section 6-1 Projectile Motion
1. To an observer at Position A, the ball wouldappear to move straight up and then straightdown.
2. To an observer at Position B, the ball wouldappear to move in a straight line.
3. To an observer at Position C, the balls pathwould appear as in the diagram (as aparabola).
4. Throughout its flight, a projectile is con-stantly being accelerated toward the ground,even when it is moving upward. Thus, thevertical vector of a projectiles flight firstpoints upward and shrinks until the projec-tile reaches its maximum height, at whichpoint the projectile has no vertical compo-nent to its motion. The vertical vector thenpoints to the ground and grows larger untilthe projectile returns to Earth. The horizon-tal vector always points along the groundand has the same magnitude throughout theprojectiles flight.
5. Both stones will hit the ground at the sametime because the horizontal component oftheir velocities is independent of the verticalcomponent. They both start out with zerovertical velocity and they both undergo thesame acceleration due to gravity.

Section 6-2 Uniform Circular Motion
1. The object must be moving in a circle with afixed radius and the object must be movingat a constant speed.
2. While speed is a directionless quantity,velocity is a vector and therefore any changein direction indicates a change in velocity.
3. Newtons first law states that a body movingat a constant velocity will continue movingat a constant velocity unless a force acts onthat body. Since an object in uniform circu-lar motion has a changing velocity, it mustbe experiencing a force.
4. Newtons second law states that when aforce acts on a mass, that force causes accel-eration along the same axis that the force isapplied. As shown in Question 3, an objectin uniform circular motion must be experi-encing a force since is has a changing velocity.Therefore, that force must be causing theobject to accelerate along the same axis asthe force.

Section 6-1 Quiz1. Newtons second law states that when a
force is applied to an object, the object willaccelerate along the same axis that the forceis applied. Assuming that air resistance isnegligible, no forces act on a projectile alongthe horizontal axis and therefore the objecthas no horizontal component to its accelera-tion other than the initial force.
2. The force of gravity acts along the verticalaxis of a projectiles flight. This force is con-stant and thus the acceleration the projectileexperiences along the vertical axis is con-stant and is equal to the acceleration due togravity.

c. The final velocity for the projectile is vfy 0 m/s, since it stops at its maxi-mum height and begins to fall. A calcu-lation is only necessary for this midwaypath as the projectile returns to Earth atthe same velocity at which it was fired.vfy viy atviy at (9.80 m/s
2)(24 s) 240 m/s
Section 6-2 Quiz1. The velocity vector of an object in uniform
circular motion is constantly changing. Thesum of any two velocity vectors for theobject point toward the center of the circle,so the velocity is constantly changing direc-tion toward the center of the circle. Since anobject only changes its velocity when it isacted upon by a force and since a force caus-es acceleration, the objects changing veloci-ty indicates that it is accelerating and thechange in direction of velocity indicates thatit is accelerating toward the center of the circle.
2. Centrifugal force is believed by some to bean outward force that exists when an objectis in uniform circular motion. However, ifthe centripetal force that keeps an object inuniform circular motion is suddenlyremoved, the object does not fly outwardaway from the center of the circle. It movesalong a line tangential to the circle. Thus,there is no centrifugal force.

Section 6-3 Quiz1. Velocity is always relative to a frame of refer-
ence. Saying that an object is moving at arate of 10 m/s is an incomplete descriptionof its movement. While an object may bemoving at 10 m/s with reference to theground, it is moving much faster within thesolar system as Earth moves around the Sun.Thus, relative velocity is a way to specify theframe of reference you are using when solv-ing a problem.
2. First, velocity is a vector quantity. Second,when more than one frame of reference isinvolved in a problem, the vectors of thevelocities in each frame of reference must beadded. Therefore, vectors are the tools thatallow us to solve problems that involve rela-tive velocities.

Chapter 6 ReinforcementHorizontal and Vertical Components of Motion
Results
1. No matter what the force, both coins hadthe same trajectory and hit the floor at thesame time.
2. The coins had different trajectories. The coincloser to the moving end of the ruler landedfurther from the edge of the table. However,both coins hit the ground at the same time.When the force was varied, the distancebetween the locations where the coins landed increased, but the coins still hit the ground at the same time.
3. It demonstrates that the horizontal and ver-tical components of an objects motion areindependent of one another.
4. Diagrams may vary, but the consistent pointshould be that while the horizontal vectorschange according to the forces used, the ver-tical components should be similar in allfigures.
5. This exercise should demonstrate the inde-pendent nature of the horizontal and verti-cal components of an objects motion.

Transparency Worksheet 6-1The Trajectory of a Projectile
1. The magnitude of the balls velocity is thesmallest at the balls maximum heightbecause the magnitude of the horizontalcomponent of the balls velocity is zero.
2. The two velocities are equal in magnitudeand opposite in direction.
3. The two velocities are equal in magnitudeand in direction.
4.
Transparency Worksheet 6-2Vertical and Horizontal Projectiles
1. The trajectories have the same vertical velocityat each point.
2. Both balls fall with the same acceleration.3. The horizontal motion of the red ball does
not affect its vertical motion.4. The vertical interval between successive pic-
tures of the balls is greater near the bottomof the figure. Since the time interval betweeneach two pictures is the same, the verticalvelocity of the balls must have increased.
5. The horizontal intervals between each twopictures of the red ball are identical. Sincethe intervals represent identical time peri-ods, the horizontal velocity of the red ballmust be constant.
Transparency Worksheet 6-3Uniform Circular Motion
1. The object must be moving in a circle with afixed radius, and it must be moving at a con-stant speed.
2. Yes, all of the objects pictured are in uni-form circular motion.
3. The speck of dust is kept in uniform circularmotion by the force of friction.
4. The CD has the smallest radius and there-fore probably has the smallest period. Thecar has the greatest radius and thereforeprobably has the greatest period.
Transparency Worksheet 6-4Relative Velocity
1. The plane has a greater ground speed whenthe wind blows with the plane.
2. If the wind speed in the top figure increased,the planes ground speed also wouldincrease.
3. If the wind speed in the top figuredecreased, the planes ground speed alsowould decrease.
4. If the wind speed in the bottom figureincreased, the planes ground speed woulddecrease.
5. If the wind speed in the bottom figuredecreased, the planes ground speed wouldincrease.
6. The bottom figure shows the best situationfor landing because there would be enoughair speed for the wings to generate lift, butthe head wind would lower the planesground speed.

Chapter AssessmentThinking Critically
1. Graph A shows vertical position versus time.The curve in Graph A is consistent with thefact that vertical speed changes. Graph Bshows horizontal position versus time. Hori-zontal speed is constant for a projectile andhorizontal position will therefore increaseconstantly. Graph B is linear and increasesthroughout the entire time interval.
2. The slopes of the graphs represent theinstantaneous velocities (vertical and hori-zontal) of the projectile.
3. It would look like a straight line that beginswith a large value and decreases constantlyover the given time interval until it reacheszero.
4. It would be a horizontal line that does notincrease or decrease over the given timeinterval.
5. The projectile has its maximum verticalspeed at t 0, immediately after it is fired.It reaches its minimum vertical speed at themaximum height of its trajectory.
