1.4 Projectile motion types  (Page 2/5)

 Page 2 / 5

There are many real time situations that resemble horizontal projection. When an object is dropped from a plane flying parallel to the ground at certain height, then the object acquires horizontal velocity of the plane when the object is released. As the object is simply dropped, the velocity in vertical direction is zero. This horizontal velocity of the object, as acquired from the plane, is then modified by the force of gravity, whereby the object follows a parabolic trajectory before hitting the ground.

This situation is analogous to projection from ground except that we track motion from the highest point. Note that vertical velocity is zero and horizontal velocity is tangential to the path at the time of projection. This is exactly the same situation as when projectile is projected from the ground and reaches highest point. In the nutshell, the description of motion here is same as the description during descent when projected from the ground.

The interesting aspect of the object dropped from plane is that both plane and object are moving with same horizontal velocity. Hence, plane is always above the dropped object, provided plane maintains its velocity.

The case of projection from a higher level at certain angle (up or down) to the horizontal is different to the one in which projectile is projected horizontally. The projectile has a vertical component of initial velocity when thrown at an angle with horizontal. This introduces the difference between two cases. The projectile thrown up attains a maximum height above the projection level. On the return journey downward, it travels past its level of projection. The difference is visually shown in the two adjoining figures below.

The resulting trajectory in the first case has both upward and downward motions. On the other hand, the motion in upward direction is completely missing in the horizontal projection as the projectile keeps loosing altitude all the time.

Projectile thrown in horizontal direction

We can easily analyze projectile motion following the technique of component motions in two mutually perpendicular directions (horizontal and vertical). Typically, we consider vertical component of motion to determine time of flight (T). The initial velocity in vertical direction is zero.

We consider point of projection as origin of coordinate system. Further, we choose x-axis in horizontal direction and y-axis in the vertically downward direction for the convenience of analysis. Then,

$y=H={u}_{y}T+\frac{1}{2}g{T}^{2}$

But ${u}_{y}=0$ ,

$⇒H=\frac{1}{2}g{T}^{2}$

$⇒T=\sqrt{\left(\frac{2H}{g}\right)}$

Note the striking similarity here with the free fall of a body under gravity from a height “H”. The time taken in free fall is same as the time of flight of projectile in this case. Now, the horizontal range of the projectile is given as :

What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes

for teaching engĺish at school how nano technology help us
Anassong
Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general
