Trajectory Motion Example

• Vertical motion

  • Integrate acceleration find velocity and position
  • Use initial conditions to find constants of integration

• Horizontal motion

ay = -32.2 ft/s2

vy = (-32.2)t + vyo = (-32.2)t + 600 sinq

y = 1/2(-32.2)t2 + (vyo) t + yo = (-16.1) t2 + (600 sinq ) t

ax = 0

vx = vxo = 600 cosq

x = (vxo) t + xo = (600 cosq ) t
