    1) Projectile motion is two-dimensional curved motion under constant acceleration caused by Earth's gravity. It has independent horizontal and vertical components described by equations. 2) A nerf gun will be shot at various angles from 1m height to determine which angle yields the longest range. The maximum height and acceleration at that height will also be calculated using kinematic equations. 3) A ball dropped and one fired horizontally from the same height will hit the ground simultaneously because their kinematic equations for displacement are the same despite different initial velocities.

    Projectile Motion

    Definition:
    Projectile motion is an example of curved motion with constant acceleration. It is two dimensional motion of a particle thrown
    obliquely into the air. It is caused by the gravitational force of earth.

    Projectile motion is a two dimensional concept and it follows the two dimensional kinematics. It has both the horizontal and the
    vertical components of motion which are independent from each other.

    Projectile motion can be stated as the: 𝑦 = (𝑎𝑡)2 + 𝑉𝑖 𝑡 + 𝑦𝑖
    2

    Problem: A nerf gun with velocity of ___ m/s will be shot at angles 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° from 1 m in height. At what angle will it
    reach its longest range? What will be the highest vertical distance at this angle? And what is the acceleration at the maximum
    height?
    (Note: Velocity of the nerf gun will be pre-determined by launching several darts horizontally from 1 m in height and marking where the darks
    first hit the ground. The obtained distances will be averaged. Using the distance and time it takes for an object to fall, the muzzle velocity of the
    gun will be determined.)
    Solution:
    𝑉 2 sin⁡(2𝜃)
     Using the formula 𝑑 = 𝑥𝑓 = and substituting the angles, we can determine which angle has the maximum
    𝑔
    range of projectile.
     𝑖𝑦 𝑉
    Using the formula ℎ𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 19.6, we can determine the maximum height covered by the projectile.
    Answer: @⁡45°
    (Itatry naming bukas kung ano magiging velocity nya tapos kung ano magiging height @45°)

    Flow of demonstration:
    I. Dropped VS. Fired Horizontally
    - Situation: One ball is fired horizontally and simultaneously a second bullet is dropped from the
    same height. Neglecting air resistance and assuming the ground is level, which bullet hits the
    ground first?

    - Concepts:
    Dropped Horizontally
    ∆𝑦 = −ℎ ∆𝑦 = −ℎ
    𝑉𝑖𝑦 = 0 𝑉𝑖𝑦 = 0

    𝑎𝑦 = ⁡ −𝑔 = −9.81 𝑎𝑦 = ⁡ −𝑔 = −9.81

    1. ∆𝑦 = 𝑉𝑖𝑦 ∆𝑡 + 𝑎𝑦∆𝑡 2 ; Since both have the same∆𝑦, 𝑉𝑖𝑦 and 𝑎𝑦 has, substituting
    2

    whatever values it has. It will result to same answer in ∆𝑡.
