Want this question answered?
Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.
You are wrong
D= vyt+1/2at2 a = (v2-v1)/t These are the two most basic formula that are used to figure out projectile motion questions, combine with SOHCAHTOA (trig) to solve simple projectile motion problems. Remember the horizontal velocity is always constant.
45 degrees is the furthest one
-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.
hypothesis on projectile motion
Because a projectile by definition, is in motion.
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
projection speed projection angle projection height
when a body is thrown at an angle in a projectile motion, the vertical component of the velocity is vcos(B) ..where v is the velocity at which the body is thrown and B represents the angle at which it is thrown.Similarly horizontal component is vsin(B). these components are useful in determining the range of the projectile ,the maximum height reached,time of ascent,time of descent etc.,
