Question

Define velocity of projectile?

Answer 1

Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.

Answer 2

Velocity of Projectile:
We know that the vertical motion of a projectile is the same as its motion would be in free fall. Therefore, the vertical component of its velocity changes by 10 m/s (actually 9.8 m/s) each second.

We also know that the horizontal motion of a projectile is at constant velocity - if it starts at 5 m/s (for instance), the horizontal component of its velocity remains 5 m/s until it hits the ground.
