Projectile Motion
Gravity
Constant vertical acceleration
Does not affect horizontal velocity
-9.81m/s
Horizontal velocity
Constant
Independent of vertical motion
No forces acting on horizontal projectiles
No acceleration
Parabolic Motion
Total time up = Total time down
COM of projectile will travel in parabolic path regardless of indiv. body segments
Vertical Velocity
Velocity at peak will be zero
Factors Influencing Trajectory
Release angle
Determines shape of trajectory
Release height
Only affects time down
Release velocity
Most important factor
Increase in velocity increases distance and time of flight.
