Is projectile motion a motion in one dimension the direction of gravity?

No, gravity is only one of the vectors in projectile motion.


What is the unbalanced force that changes the direction of motion of a projectile?

gravity?


What the two components of projectile motion are?

(x, y) In most physics problems, projectile motion is shown on a 2-dimensional plane where x is the direction left and right, and y is the direction up and down.


Projectile motion is caused by?

We would object to that statement, and argue that the motion of a projectile after launch is determined by the speed and direction of the launch.


What are two velocity components of projectile motion?

The magnitude of its Velocity (Speed), and its Direction. These are the components of the Arrow (Vector) that represents its MOTION.


Projectile motion is constant motion?

Nope, can't agree with that. "Constant motion" means constant speed in a straight line. A projectile keeps moving faster vertically downward, and its path curves downward no matter what direction you launch it. So it fails both tests for constant motion: Its speed and direction both change.


Example problem and answer of projectile motion?

-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.


What type of Motion is the Horizontal motion of a projectile?

Whether projected horizontally or in an inclined direction ie obliquely the path traversed will be parabolic


What should be the hypothesis of projectile motion?

How is projectile motion science?

Because a projectile by definition, is in motion.


How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?

Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.


What is the equation for trajectory?

Its an equation used to find the 2D motion of a projectile; y=xtan*0-gx2/2u2cos2* where * represents an angle b/w them
