Question

13. Fill in the blanks:
The path of a projectile projected at some angle with the horizontal (i.e., ground) is a
_____ path.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is  " PARABOLIC PATH "

Explanation:

Answer 2

The path of a projectile projected at some angle with the horizontal (i.e., ground) is a  parabolic path.

• Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by a projectile that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only ( the effects of air resistance are assumed to be negligible).
• This curved path was shown by Galileo to be a parabola.
• The study of such motions is called ballistics, and such a trajectory is a ballistic trajectory.
• The only force of significance that acts on the object is gravity, which acts downward, thus imparting to the object a downward acceleration. Because of the object's inertia, no external horizontal force is needed to maintain the horizontal velocity component of the object.
