Motion Under Gravity in Two Dimensions:

If a particle is projected with an initial velocity u at angle θ to the horizontal, the prativle will be resolved into
vertical and horizontal components of the velocity.
VY
Horizontal components: Vx = ucosθ

Horizontal distance: Sx = utcosθ
Vertical components: Vy = usinθ−¿
Vertical distance: sy = utsinθ - ½ gt2
Magnitude of the velocity, v = √ vx 2 + vy2
The acceleration due to gravity acts against the motion of the body, hence it is negative.
Example:
1. A particle is projected with an initial velocity of 46m/s at an angle of 55 0 to the horizontal. After 3 seconds,
find: (i) the vertical component of the velocity (ii) horizontal component (iii) vertical distance traveled. (iv)
Magnitude of the velocity.
SOLUTION:
θ = 550 u=46m/s
(i) Vy = usinθ - gt
= 46 sin 55 – 10 x 3
= 37.68 – 30
= 7.68/s
(ii) Vx = ucosθ
= 46 cos 55
=26.38m/s
1
(iii) sy = utsinθ - (10x9)
2
= 138sin55 – 5x9
= 113.04 – 45
= 68.04m
√
(iv) = vx2 +vy2
7.682 + 26.382 = √ 58.98 + 695.9
= 27.48m/s
EVALUATION: A particles is fired with an initial speed of 40m/s at an angle of 30 0 to the horizontal.
Determine the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity after 2.5 seconds.
GREATEST HEIGHT REACHED: when a projected particle reaches its greatest height, the vertical
components become zero. Therefore;
RecallVy, = usinθ – gt
Squaring both sides, (Vy) 2 = (usinθ n – gt)2
Vy2 = u2sin2θ - 2gsy
Since: vy =0, hence, 0 = u2sin2θ - 2gsy
Sy =u2sin2θ
2g
Therefore the greatest height reaches is represented by H=u2sin2θ
2g
Time taken to reach the greatest height: The time taken to reach the maximum height I at the point when
the vertical component is zero. Hence,
,Vy = usinθ –gt
0 = usinθ –gt
T=usinθ
g
Example:
1. A particle is projected with velocity 56m/s at an angle of 60 0 from a point O on a horizontal plane.
The particle moves freely under gravity and hits the plain again A. Calculate, correct to 3 significant
figures: (a) the greatest height above OA attainedby the particle (b) the time taken by the particle to
reach A from O.
Solution:
U = 56m/s θ = 600
(a) Greatest height reached, h = U2sin2O
2g
h = 562 x (sin 60)2
2 x 9.8
h = 2352 h = 120m.
19.6
(a) Time taken to reach A from O; t = usinθ
g
t = 56 sin 60
9.8
T = 4.9secs.
Evaluation: A project is fired with a velocity of 45m/s and at angle of elevation of 81 0 to the horizontal. Find the
time taken by the particle to reach its destination. (Take g = 10m/s2)
Time of flight: This is the time taken by a particle which is projected to return to its original point of projection.
At this point the vertical distance becomes zero. Hemce,
T = 2usinθ
g
Range: This is the horizontal distance covered when the particle returns to its original point of projection. The
range is equal to the product of the horizontal component and the time of flight.
Hence,
R =ucosθx2usinθ
g
R =u2 x 2sinθ cosθ (but; 2sinθ cosθ = sin 2θ )
g
R = u2 x 2sinθ
g
Maximum range: A particle will cover a maximum range if it is projected at angle 45 0 to the horizontal.
That is; θ = 450. Thus sin2θ =1
Hence, Rmax= U2
g
Example: The vertical and horizontal components of the initial velocity of a projectile are 36m/s and 64m/s.
find (i) initial velocity of the projectile (ii) the inclination to the horizontal at which the projectile was fired.
(iii) the greatest height reached; (iv) the time of flight; (v) the horizontal range of the projectile.
Solution:
Vy = 36m/s Vx= 64m/s
(i) V√ Vx2 +Vy2
U = √ 642 + 362; U = 73.43m/s
(ii) Inclination to the horizontal; ( the angle of projection)
Vx = u cosθ
64 = 73.43 cosθ
θ = cos-1 (64/73.43); θ = 29.40
(iii) Greatest height reached; h = U2 sinθ
2g
h = 73.43 x (sin 29.4)2
2
2 x10
h = 5391.96 x 0.2410
20
h = 64.97m
(iv) Time of flight: T = 2usinθ
g
T = 2x 73.43 x sin 29.4
10
T = 7.2 secs.
(v) Horizontal range: R = u2 sin2θ
g
R = 73.432 x sin (2x29.4)

R = 461.2m
