FULL TRANSCRIPT
good day students welcome back to ma
estrang techie youtube channel we are
now in quarter four of our grade nine
science lesson and the first topic that
we are going to have today is all about
the horizontal and vertical motions of a
projectile check out our learning
objective describe the horizontal and
vertical motions of a projectile get
ready to learn this lesson so keep on
watching
[Music]
in grade 8 you have learned about
newton's second law of motion the law of
acceleration according to these law the
net force is equal to the product of the
mass of the object and its acceleration
let's have a simple activity to refresh
your mind state the second law of motion
by completing this paragraph
so let us start the law of
of course
acceleration the acceleration of an
object as produced by a net force is
directly proportional to the magnitude
of the net force
in
the same direction as the net force
and
inversely proportional to the
mass of the object that is the second
law of motion
good job class it is very good that you
can still recall the law of acceleration
always remember that the larger the
force applied on an object the larger
its acceleration usually the
acceleration of a body may change and
vary from time to time due to several
factors if that is the case when can we
say that there is a constant
acceleration let's have a review about
uniformly accelerated motion or uam look
at the picture shown in your screen
are you familiar with these blue
uniformed men who are usually positioned
in the busy streets
you might have seen them as you cross
the streets to reach your school or on
your way to the market or a friend's
house they are the traffic enforcers who
are they and what do they do they play a
crucial role in maintaining the flow of
traffic and in implementing loss
and rules and regulations on the road
that every motorist should follow
they may also be considered as front
liners amidst the coveted 19 pandemic as
they assess soldiers and police officers
in checkpoints speed limits are observed
on roads they vary and depend on several
conditions speed limits for highways are
different from speed limits on small
avenues and streets this prevents
vehicles to speed up or accelerate
unnecessarily in our bc streets as they
are being monitored by traffic enforcers
acceleration is defined as the rate of
change in velocity with time it is a
vector quantity having both magnitude
and direction
acceleration of vehicles usually changes
from time to time a vehicle may speed up
as it travels to highways or slow down
as it approaches an intersection
it should also help when the stop light
is red and eventually accelerate when
the light turns green we can say that
most type of acceleration that we
observe is not constant or non-uniform
due to these factors
when you are riding a vehicle you can
say that speeds up or slows down based
on its speedometer a speedometer
indicates the speed of a vehicle it is
usually combined with a device known as
odometer but records the distance
traveled assume that you are riding a
vehicle and observed these speedometer
readings
what can you say about the readings on
the speedometer during each minute
what can you infer from the data in the
table
this means that vehicle speeds up
every minute there is one kilometer per
hour increase on the speed of the
vehicle the increase for every minute is
constant therefore we can say that the
vehicle has uniform acceleration this
vehicle exhibits a uniform or constant
acceleration it is a type of motion in
which the velocity of an object changes
by an equal amount in every equal time
period just like these examples in
uniformly accelerated motion or uam the
value of the acceleration is constant it
does not change the velocity changes but
at a constant rate an object with zero
acceleration is said to be in uniform
motion an object in uniformly
accelerated motion has non-zero but
constant acceleration
acceleration represents how velocity
changes with time velocity represents
how position changes with time
next picture
as you can see
we have a coin toss it upward
does it stay up
no
when it reaches its maximum height
eventually it will go down what makes it
go down
the answer is
gravity
gravity pulls the coin down things that
are thrown upward will go down because
of these force gravity also pulls us
towards the earth that is why we are not
being thrown outside the space what
floor was your classroom when you were
in grade 7 in grade 8
was it on the 3rd or 4th floor
which is easier climbing to your
classroom or going down to the school
canteen
when you climb a high place you go
against gravity when you are on a high
place and you go down you are moving
toward gravity so you use less force
same is true with free falling objects
objects at free fall also exhibit
uniformly accelerated motion
the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8
meter per second squared neglecting air
resistance it is a constant acceleration
for all falling bodies regardless their
mass and weight all objects on the
earth's surface are being accelerated
towards the center of the earth at a
rate of
9.8 meter per second squared this means
that if you raise an object above the
surface of the earth and drop it
the object will start from res and its
velocity will increase 9.8 meter per
second
for each second it is falling toward the
earth's surface until it strikes the
ground
in general a uniformly accelerated
motion is the one in which the
acceleration of a body throughout the
motion is uniform it can be observed in
either vertical or horizontal dimension
and into dimensions
let us have an activity for you to
understand the uniformly accelerated
motion
analyze each scenario identify if it
exhibits uniformly accelerated motion or
not let us have the first photo a bike
at rest
is this uam or not
the answer
not uam
next
a fruit dropping from a tree
is this an example of uam or not
the answer uam
next
a boy holding a book
and we answer
not uam
next
rocks falling from a cliff
is this a uniformly accelerated motion
or not
the answer
uam
last picture
a trok running with a constant
acceleration
is it uam or not the answer
it is an example of uam
great job class you did well now let us
proceed let us take a look of these
photo as you can see there is a photo of
a man diving
the motion of the man as it dives into
the water is moving along a curved path
due to a natural force called
gravitational force or gravity
gravity is the natural force that causes
object to fall towards the earth hence
the acceleration due to gravity is
always directed downwards with this the
motion of the man undergoes projectile
motion projectile motion is a form of
motion where an object moves in a curved
path the object that is thrown or
projected and exhibits projectile motion
is called projectile the curve-like path
undertake by a projectile is called
trajectory let us have another photo are
you familiar with this game
a sepak takraw player kicking a rotten
ball over the net what is the projectile
in that scenario
if you think that the rattan ball is the
projectile then you are right how do you
describe its trajectory
the rotten ball traveling on a curved
path that is correct in mathematical
terms we call this pattern parabola an
angle launch projectile exhibits a full
parabolic trajectory motion
this shows that as the player kick the
rattan ball in the air the ball will
eventually go back to the ground still
due to gravity as it moves horizontally
hence projectile motion consists of
horizontal and vertical motion working
independently the two pictures and
scenarios that i have shown you are the
two types of projectile motion
horizontally launched projectiles
and angle-launched projectiles let us
take note of their components in
horizontal motion it is the x component
no resistance in any form to simplify we
neglect air resistance next
there is a constant horizontal velocity
we use vx to represent it v for velocity
and x for horizontal component
next horizontal acceleration is zero
why because there is no external force
acting along the horizontal motion it
means that acceleration does not exist
and it is represented as a x a for
acceleration and x for the x component
next we call the horizontal distance as
range and it is represented as dx d for
distance and x for the horizontal
component
now let us go to the vertical motion
this is the y component the force acting
upon in this motion is the force of
gravity and it is represented as
g
or a y
or acceleration in the y or in the
vertical motion or acceleration due to
gravity the constant acceleration is
always equal to negative 9.8 meter per
second squared take note class that
negative indicates the direction and the
direction is downward
due to the presence of gravity
accelerating at 9.8 meter per second
squared this causes the vertical
velocity to increase
which makes it not constant and it is
represented as v y v for velocity and y
for the vertical component or vertical
motion
next we call the vertical distance as
the height
and it is represented as h
or d y for you to understand more let us
have an example scenario this is an
example of a horizontal launched
projectile
suppose you roll a marble on a
frictionless table observe the motion of
the marble as it goes down the floor
the motion of the marble is gradually
increasing from point a to point b due
to the presence of gravity accelerating
at 9.8 meter per second squared these
cause the vertical velocity to increase
which makes it not constant for the
horizontal velocity there is no external
force acting along the horizontal motion
which means no acceleration resulting to
a constant horizontal velocity
let us have an example problem to solve
a marble is thrown horizontally from a
table top with a velocity of 1.50 meter
per second
the marble falls 0.70 meters away the
table's edge
find the following how high is the table
and what is the final velocity of the
marble just before it hits the cup first
let us illustrate the problem a marble
is thrown horizontally with an initial
velocity of 1.50 meter per second we are
going to represent it as vi or initial
velocity
next the marble falls at 0.70 meter away
from the table
therefore we can say that it is the
horizontal distance or dx and that is
again 0.70
meters next we are going to find how
high the table is
or our vertical distance or d y and also
if we have initial velocity of course we
have the final velocity
of the marble before it touches the cup
and it is represented as vf or the final
velocity now let us solve the problem
here are the given and the formulas that
we are going to use again our given the
horizontal distance is 0.70 meters our
initial velocity which is equal to 1.50
meter per second and our acceleration
due to gravity is 9.8 meter per second
squared
to find the height or the vertical
distance of the table this is our
formula get the one half of the product
of acceleration due to gravity and the
squared of time as you can see we do not
have the value of time therefore we need
to get first the time to get the height
of the table so take note of this
formula let us substitute our given to
our formula time is equal to dx which is
0.70 meters divided by the initial
velocity 1.50 meter per second
let us divide
0.70 divided by 1.50
and the answer
is 0.47
this is already rounded off
next how about the unit as you can see
we can cancel out meters so let's cancel
out meters and the remaining unit is
second therefore our final answer is
0.47
second
now we can determine the height of the
table let's substitute the given
in our formula
acceleration due to gravity times time
which is 0.47 do not forget to get the
square of the time divided by 2 squaring
0.47 we get
0.2209 seconds squared
next let us simplify this by multiplying
the acceleration due to gravity and time
therefore we have
2.16482
divided by 2.
as you can see we can cancel out second
square and the remaining unit is meters
next let us divide this
into two and the quotient is
[Music]
1.08 meters this is also rounded off
therefore this is our final answer the
height of the table is 1.08
meters now let's proceed to our next
question
what is the final velocity of the marble
just before it hits the cup
as you can see we have an additional
given that we got a while ago which is
the height or the vertical distance
1.08 meters
to find the final velocity this is the
formula that we are going to use
negative of the square root of 2 times a
g times d y let us substitute the given
to our formula so here it is we have the
tu
the ag or the acceleration judo gravity
and our height
multiplying these three quantities we
are going to have
21.168
also we do the operation in the units
next to simplify this we have to get the
square root of 21.168
and the square root of our unit m
squared per second squared therefore we
have
4.6
meter per second
let's not forget that we have here a
negative sign take note class that the
negative sign indicates downward
direction
therefore we can say that the final
velocity of the marble just before it
hits the cup is 4.6 meter per second
downward or
negative 4.6
meter per second and that is our final
answer
and that is how you are going to solve
that problem
