Gravitational pull
An object that is thrown or shot into the air is commonly referred to as a projectile. This term is often used in physics to describe an object in motion through the air due to an initial force.
Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.
The instantaneous speed of the object at its highest point is zero. At that moment, the object is at rest before it starts to fall back down due to gravity.
True. Both objects, when released from the same height, will experience the same gravitational acceleration regardless of their horizontal motion. Therefore, the object that is dropped will hit the ground at the same time as the object thrown horizontally, assuming no air resistance. However, the dropped object will fall straight down, while the thrown object will travel horizontally as it falls.
it is called a trajectory Projectile- the obect thrown though the air
No, the acceleration is not the same for an object that is dropped and an object that is thrown. When an object is dropped, it experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity. When an object is thrown, its acceleration can vary depending on factors such as the initial velocity and direction.
No, a projectile is not always in free-fall. A projectile is any object that is thrown or launched into the air and is affected by gravity. While a projectile is influenced by gravity and follows a curved path, it may not necessarily be in free-fall if other forces are acting on it, such as air resistance or propulsion.
At the highest point, the velocity of an object thrown vertically into the air is momentarily zero as it changes direction. This is the point where it transitions from going upward to downward.
The best way to analyze an object thrown into the air is to use projectile motion equations to calculate its initial velocity, angle of projection, and other relevant parameters. By breaking down the motion into horizontal and vertical components, you can determine its trajectory, maximum height, range, and time of flight accurately. Additionally, considering air resistance if necessary can provide a more realistic analysis of the object's motion.
The factors that affect the speed of an object in free fall with air resistance are the object's mass, the surface area of the object, the density of the air, and the gravitational force acting on the object.
Though often used to describe a shell fired from an artillery piece, projectile, can also describe a thrown object.
it will slow the fall down a little.
