What is a projectile?
• A flying object with no means of propulsion after its launch.
• Can be launched with any VELOCITY and at ANY ANGLE
• May be subjected to AIR RESISTANCE

Initial velocity
30°
What is the horizontal part ofthe soccer ball’s initial velocity?
vix = vi cos θ
What is the vertical part ofthe soccer ball’s initial velocity?
viy = vi sin θ
12 m/s6 m/s
10.4 m/s

What assumptions can we make?
Horizontal
• Initial velocity = vi cos θ
• Acceleration = 0
Vertical
• Initial velocity = vi sin θ
• Acceleration = -9.81 m/s2
• Vertical speed = 0 at top
