College Physics by Raymond Serway - Law of Motion
PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY
Projectile Motion
1. Select a coordinate system and sketch the path of the projectile, including initial and final positions, velocities, and accelerations.
2. Resolve the initial velocity vector into x- and y-components.
3. Treat the horizontal motion and the vertical motion independently.
4. Follow the techniques for solving problems with constant velocity to analyze
the horizontal motion of the projectile.
5. Follow the techniques for solving problems with constant acceleration to analyse the vertical motion of the projectile.
