where
is the initial speed and
is the initial angle relative to the horizontal. The proof of this equation is left as an end-of-chapter problem (hints are given), but it does fit the major features of projectile range as described.
When we speak of the range of a projectile on level ground, we assume that
is very small compared with the circumference of the Earth. If, however, the range is large, the Earth curves away below the projectile and acceleration of gravity changes direction along the path. The range is larger than predicted by the range equation given above because the projectile has farther to fall than it would on level ground. (See
[link] .) If the initial speed is great enough, the projectile goes into orbit. This possibility was recognized centuries before it could be accomplished. When an object is in orbit, the Earth curves away from underneath the object at the same rate as it falls. The object thus falls continuously but never hits the surface. These and other aspects of orbital motion, such as the rotation of the Earth, will be covered analytically and in greater depth later in this text.
Once again we see that thinking about one topic, such as the range of a projectile, can lead us to others, such as the Earth orbits. In
Addition of Velocities , we will examine the addition of velocities, which is another important aspect of two-dimensional kinematics and will also yield insights beyond the immediate topic.

In an experiment, a student launches a ball with an initial horizontal velocity of 5.00 meters/sec at an elevation 2.00 meters above ground. Draw and clearly label with appropriate values and units a graph of the ball's horizontal velocity vs. time and the ball's vertical velocity vs. time. The graph should cover the motion from the instant after the ball is launched until the instant before it hits the ground. Assume the downward direction is negative for this problem.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air that is subject only to the acceleration of gravity.
To solve projectile motion problems, perform the following steps:
Determine a coordinate system. Then, resolve the position and/or velocity of the object in the horizontal and vertical components. The components of position
are given by the quantities
and
, and the components of the velocity
are given by
and
, where
is the magnitude of the velocity and
is its direction.
Analyze the motion of the projectile in the horizontal direction using the following equations:
Analyze the motion of the projectile in the vertical direction using the following equations:
Recombine the horizontal and vertical components of location and/or velocity using the following equations:
The maximum height
of a projectile launched with initial vertical velocity
is given by
The maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile is called the
range . The range
of a projectile on level ground launched at an angle
above the horizontal with initial speed
is given by

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded
