What is projectile in physics?
An object that is in motion, only acted on by the force of gravity
Is projectile motion a motion in one dimension the direction of gravity?
No, gravity is only one of the vectors in projectile motion.
For an object to be in projectile motion and what force must be acting on it?
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.
Is the vertical motion of a projectile dependent on its horizontal motion?
They fall at the same rate. So if you aim at an object before it falls from a height and shoot just as it is released then the projectile will hit the falling object. This happens because gravity is always the same (at small heights) and has the same effect on the object with no horizontal displacement as it does on the projectile with horizontal displacement.
Why horizontal motion is constant?
Horizontal motion is only constant when it is not being affected by any forces, e.g. the horizontal motion of a projectile after it's shot.
What is the only requirement for an object to be in projectile motion?
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object.

The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on what?
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.
How do you solve a projectile motion problem?
An object projected by force and continuing in motion by its own inertia.An objectile is a a projectile only when it is in a state of motion,usually it covers a parabola shape path.
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.
Is projectile motion a motion in one dimension the direction of gravity?
No, gravity is only one of the vectors in projectile motion.
How many types of projectile motion?
Only one unfortunately.
Why is it easier to catch a tennis ball as compared to cricket ball moving with the same velocity?
yes, it is easy to catch a ball of high trajectory because the ball moves in projectile motion. Projectile motion is the act of projecting an object into the air at an angle.
For an object to be in projectile motion and what force must be acting on it?
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.
What is projectile velocity?
Velocity is the time rate of change of displacement of an object. Velocity is the distance travelled in unit time in a stated direction. It is a vector quantity since it gives us both magnitude and direction.
Which sports have horizontal projectile motion only?
I think bowling would be one.
Are centripetal acceleration and projectile motion the same thing?
Centripetal acceleration at a constant velocity and projectile motion are realistic comparisons, but only in this particular scenario. It should be noted that the vector quantity of both needs to be taken into consideration when answering this question. The vector component of centripetal acceleration moves inward, while outward for projectile motion. So, in essence, centripetal acceleration and projectile motion are not the same thing.
