Motion & Forces
V. Nonlinear Motion
Projectile Motion
Circular Motion
Free-fall
A. Projectile Motion
Projectile
follows a
parabolic path
called a trajectory
has horizontal and vertical velocities
PROJECTILE MINI-LAB
A. Projectile Motion
Projectile Velocities
HorizontalVelocity
depends on inertia
remains constant
VerticalVelocity
depends on gravity
accelerates
downward at
9.8 m/s2
ConcepTest
A moving truck launches a ball vertically
(relative to the truck). If the truck maintains a
constant horizontal velocity after the launch,
where will the ball land (ignore air resistance)?
A) In front of the truck
B) Behind the truck
C) In the truck
C)In the truck. The horizontal
velocity of the ball remains
constant and is unaffected by its
vertical motion.
B-BALL DEMO
PLATE DEMO
B. Circular Motion
On the ground...
friction provides centripetal force
B. Circular Motion
Inorbit...
gravity provides centripetal force
ROUND LAB
B. Circular Motion
In orbit...
Which satellites travel faster?
CUP DEMO
C. Free-Fall
Weightlessness
surroundings are falling at the same
rate so they dont exert a force on
the object
C. Free-Fall
Go to Space Settlement Video Library. Space Shuttle Missions
Go to CNN.com.
Go to NASA.
ConcepTest 1
TRUE or FALSE:
An astronaut on the Space Shuttle
feels weightless because there is no
gravity in space.
FALSE!
There is gravity which is causing the Shuttle to free-fall towards
the Earth. She feels weightless because shes free-falling at the
same rate.
