Study Notes
Projectile Motion
- Watering plants using a hose is an example of projectile motion at home.
- Throwing garbage on a trash basket and water coming out from a shower are also examples of projectile motion.
- Mopping the floor is not an example of projectile motion.
Projectile Motion Diagrams
- H represents the height of a projectile motion.
- Range is not represented by H.
Projectile Motion Characteristics
- At the maximum height of a projectile, the horizontal acceleration is zero and the vertical acceleration is -9.8 m/s².
- The angle of release affects the range of a projectile motion, with the maximum range attained at an angle of 45°.
Optimal Angle of Release
- The optimal angle to throw an object the farthest is 45°.
- If the angle of release is less than 45°, the range of the projectile motion decreases.
- If the angle of release is greater than 45°, the range of the projectile motion also decreases.
Relationship between Angle of Release and Height
- The angle of release affects the height of a projectile motion, with a greater angle of release resulting in a higher height.
- The height of a projectile motion is not affected by the angle of release if it is less than 45°.
Angle of Release and Range
- If the angle of release is 45°, the range of the projectile motion is maximum.
- If the angle of release is not 45°, the range of the projectile motion decreases.
Impulse and Momentum
- Impulse is the change in momentum of an object.
- Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
- A body at rest has zero momentum.
Momentum and Collisions
- If two objects collide, the object with the greater momentum will cause more damage.
- The momentum of two objects after collision is not affected by their initial momentum.
Catching Objects
- To catch a raw egg without breaking it, you should move your hands backwards when the egg starts touching your hands.
