PROJECTILE MOTION (Part 2)
I. Introductory Concept
Projectile motion can apply to sports like basketball, volleyball and football. These sports
involve throwing and kicking a ball. And they are all making a curved path in midair. This curved
path made by the ball is called a projectile, a motion with two-dimensions; the horizontal (range
or distance) and vertical (height) components.
The angle of release affects the range and height of a projectile. The maximum range is
achieved if the projectile is fired at an angle of 45º with respect to the horizontal as shown in figure
2. An object launched at an angle of 30º will also be the same if it is launched at 60º. The angles
30º and 60º are called complementary angles because they add up to 90º.
As the angle of launch increases, the vertical displacement of the projectile will also
increase. At the highest point, the vertical component of velocity is zero and the time to reach the
maximum height is half of the total time of flight.
II. Skills/Competency
Investigate the relationship between the angle of release and the height and range of
projectile. (S9FE-IVa-35)
III. Activities
Activity 1. Effects of Angle of Release to the Range and Height of a Projectile
Problem: A football player kicked the ball at a speed of 25.0 m/s as shown in the illustration.
Determine the range and the height achieved by the ball at a given angle. (Assume that the
speeds are the same at a different angle).
