Essay / Projectile Angular Motion - 782
Projectile Angular Motion is used to calculate the distance in which an object with an initial velocity projected at an angle to the horizontal will move horizontally. It can also be used to calculate the maximum height the object reached and the length of time it remained in the air. When solving problems with the angular motion of a projectile, one should consider the following steps. To begin, we need to calculate the horizontal acceleration of the object, keeping in mind that the vertical acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 due to gravity. In most cases, we know the angle of the ramp relative to the horizontal and the speed. If not given, the speed can be calculated using the acceleration of the object at a given time. It is then necessary to calculate the vertical and horizontal components of the speed using a vector diagram. To represent the problem, draw a rough diagram of the problem. Before calculating the horizontal displacement of the object, we must find the length of time the object remained in the air. The example used in our lesson was imported from the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. It shows a car accelerating at 2.6822 m/s2 [E] for 8.80 s with an initial speed of 39.3395 m/s [E] and is thrown off a ramp at an angle of 35 degrees to horizontal. To begin, we will show the calculations performed to obtain these values (shown on paper). Next, we will calculate the horizontal displacement. In order to find the horizontal displacement of the car, we must calculate the time to avoid having two unknowns in the displacement equation. To calculate the time, you must use the calculated vertical speed. Since we cannot have two unknowns in the equation of time, we must find a time where the speed is known and which is halfway; V = 0 m/s. Since ......middle of paper ......allied to Canada. In the United States, most visual effects artists earn around $60,000. To pursue a career as a visual effects artist, one must take computer science, art, and physics courses throughout high school (credits also required). At university, you have to get a degree in computer science, art or animation. Overall, visual effects artists play a major role in producing realistic but impractical yacht scenes, making them essential to film production. In conclusion, we have learned that to solve any problem involving the angular motion of a projectile, one must find the vertical and horizontal components of that object's velocity using simple trigonometry. Next, we must calculate the time during which the object remained in the air, insert it into the displacement equation in order to eliminate one of the unknowns. Finally, we can determine the distance traveled by the object.
