![]() It means this person is going to end up below where they started, 30 meters below where they started. They started at the top of the cliff, ended at the bottom of the cliff. You might want to say thatĭelta y is positive 30 but you would be wrong, and the reason is, this person fell downward 30 meters. How about in the yĭirection, what do we know? We know that the, alright, That we do want to find so I'm gonna write it there. We don't know how to find it but we want to know In the x direction, that's what we want to solve for, so we're gonna declare our ![]() This horizontal distance or displacement is what we want to know. This is not telling us anything about this horizontal distance. Is the displacement in the x direction, but And we don't know anythingĮlse in the x direction. Have written i for initial, but I wrote zero for v naught in the x, it still means initial velocity This person started off with an initial velocity. So how do we solve this with math? Let's write down what we know. This vertical direction but not the horizontal direction. So a lot of vertical velocity, this should keep gettingīigger and bigger and bigger because gravity's influencing Might go off the screen but it's gonna be really big. Vertical velocity downward and maybe more vertical velocity because gravity keeps pulling, and then even more, this Horizontally straight off the cliff and then they start to gain velocity. How about vertically? Vertically this person starts There's forces from the water that influence thisĪcceleration in various ways that we're not gonna consider. Have five meters per second of horizontal velocity up onto the point right when they splash in the water, and then at that point This person really is a freely flying projectile, assuming that there is no jet pack to propel them forwardĪnd no air resistance. Velocity is always gonna be five meters per second. Have five meters per second of horizontal velocity. Velocity started at five, the person's always gonna Is gonna be changing but this horizontal velocity So say the vertical velocity, or the vertical direction is pink, horizontal direction is green. That the horizontal velocity evolves independent to What's happening here, the same thing that happensįor any projectile problem, the horizontal direction is happening independently of the vertical direction. So how fast would I have to run in order to make it past that? Alright, so conceptually Maybe there's this nastyĬraggy cliff bottom here that you can't fall on. Run in order to avoid maybe the rocky shore right here that you might want to avoid. This cliff high and this speed how fast do I have to And if you were a cliff diver, I mean don't try this at home, but if you were a professional cliff diver you might want to know for ![]() Question you might get asked: how far did this person go horizontally before striking the water? This is a classic problem, They initially went this way, and they start to fall down, and they do something like pschhh, and then they splash in the water, hopefully they don't hitĪny boats or fish down here. They fly through the air, there's water down here, so And let's say they're completely crazy, let's say this cliff is 30 meters tall. Let's say they run off of this cliff with five meters per second of initial velocity, They're gonna run but theyĭon't jump off the cliff, they just run straight off of the cliff 'cause they're kind of nervous. "whoa, let's do this." We're gonna do this, they're pumped up. Gonna cliff dive or base jump, and they're gonna be like The object for a projectile is completely horizontal, then that object is a horizontally launched projectile. Has to start off with, if the table's flat and horizontal, the velocity of the ball initially If you just roll theīall off of the table, then the velocity the ball What could that be? I mean a boring example, it's just a ball rolling off of a table. Off of a cliff, let's say, in this straight horizontal direction with no vertical component to start with, then it's a horizontally Launched projectile is any object that gets launched in a completely horizontal What that is in a minute so that you don't fall into the same trap. There is nothing new, except that there's oneĪspect of these problems that people get stumpedīy all of the time. If you already know how to do projectile problems, Talk about how to handle a horizontally launched
