Introduction to 2-Dimensional Motion
Introduction to 2D Motion
2-Dimensional Motion Definition: motion that occurs with
both x and y components. Example:
Playing pool . Throwing a ball to another person.
Each dimension of the motion can obey different equations of motion.
Solving 2-D Problems Resolve all vectors into components
x-component Y-component
Work the problem as two one-dimensional problems. Each dimension can obey different
equations of motion. Re-combine the results for the two
components at the end of the problem.

direction that is 40o south of west.a) How far west have you traveled in 2.5 minutes?b) How far south have you traveled in 2.5 minutes?

Projectiles
Projectile Motion Something is fired, thrown, shot, or
hurled near the earth’s surface. Horizontal velocity is constant. Vertical velocity is accelerated. Air resistance is ignored.
1-Dimensional Projectile Definition: A projectile that moves in a
vertical direction only, subject to acceleration by gravity.
Examples: Drop something off a cliff. Throw something straight up and catch it.
You calculate vertical motion only, because the motion has no horizontal component.
2-Dimensional Projectile Definition: A projectile that moves both
horizontally and vertically, subject to acceleration by gravity in vertical direction.
Examples: Throw a softball to someone else. Fire a cannon horizontally off a cliff. Shoot a monkey with a blowgun.
You calculate vertical and horizontal motion.
Horizontal Component of Velocity Is constant Not accelerated Not influence by gravity Follows equation: x = Vo,xt
Horizontal Component of Velocity
Vertical Component of Velocity Undergoes accelerated motion Accelerated by gravity (9.8 m/s2
down) Vy = Vo,y + gt y = yo + Vo,yt + ½ gt2
Vy2 = Vo,y
2 + 2g(y – yo)
Horizontal and Vertical
Horizontal and Vertical
Launch angle Definition: The angle at which a
projectile is launched. The launch angle determines what the trajectory of the projectile will be.
Launch angles can range from -90o (throwing something straight down) to +90o (throwing something straight up) and everything in between.
Zero Launch angle
A zero launch angle implies a perfectly horizontal launch.

Sample Problem The Zambezi River flows over Victoria Falls in Africa. The falls are
approximately 108 m high. If the river is flowing horizontally at 3.6 m/s just before going over the falls, what is the speed of the water when it hits the bottom? Assume the water is in freefall as it drops.

Sample Problem An astronaut on the planet Zircon tosses a rock horizontally

Projectiles with General Launch Angle
General launch angle
vo
Projectile motion is more complicated when the launch angle is not straight up or down (90o or –90o), or perfectly horizontal (0o).
General launch angle
vo
You must begin problems like this by resolving the velocity vector into its components.
Resolving the velocity Use speed and the launch angle to find
horizontal and vertical velocity components
VoVo,y = Vo sin
Vo,x = Vo cos
Resolving the velocity Then proceed to work problems just like
you did with the zero launch angle problems.
VoVo,y = Vo sin
Vo,x = Vo cos
Sample problem A soccer ball is kicked with a speed of 9.50 m/s at an angle of
25o above the horizontal. If the ball lands at the same level from which is was kicked, how long was it in the air?

Sample problem Snowballs are thrown with a speed of 13 m/s from a roof
7.0 m above the ground. Snowball A is thrown straight downward; snowball B is thrown in a direction 25o above the horizontal. When the snowballs land, is the speed of A greater than, less than, or the same speed of B? Verify your answer by calculation of the landing speed of both snowballs.

Projectiles with General Launch Angle
Projectiles launched over level ground These projectiles have highly
symmetric characteristics of motion. It is handy to know these
characteristics, since a knowledge of the symmetry can help in working problems and predicting the motion.
Lets take a look at projectiles launched over level ground.

Projectiles Review
The Range Equation Derivation is an important part of
physics. Your book has many more
equations than your formula sheet. The Range Equation is in your
textbook, but not on your formula sheet. You can use it if you can memorize it or derive it!
The Range Equation R = vo
2sin(2)/g. R: range of projectile fired over level
ground vo: initial velocity g: acceleration due to gravity : launch angle
The derivation of this equation follows
Derive the range equation
R = vo2sin(2)/g
