Projectile motion and explain it horizontal projection |
| Answer» When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth’s surface, it moves along a curved path under constant acceleration that is directed towards the center of the earth (we assume that the particle remains close to the surface of the earth). The path of such a particle is called a projectile and the motion is called\xa0projectile motion. Air resistance to the motion of the body is to be assumed absent in projectile motion.In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions:\tAlong x-axis: uniform velocity, responsible for the horizontal (forward) motion of the particle.\tAlong y-axis: uniform acceleration, responsible for the vertical (downwards) motion of the particle. | |
