Question

In a projectile motion what is the radius of curvature at the point of projection??

Answer 1

Answer:

the radius of curvature at the point is

=f=r/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The radius of curvature at the point of projection is maximum in a projectile motion.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is the motion of any object projected in the air which is subjected to acceleration of the gravity.

The velocity (  $v$) of the object is maximum at the point of projection because of the action of acceleration due to gravity . We can observe a decrease in the vertical components of velocity.

The formula for the radius of curvature is -

$R = \frac{v^{2} }{g * cos\alpha }$

Where,  $v$ is velocity

            ∝ is angle of object thrown

Therefore the radius of curvature at the point of projection is maximum when we consider a projectile motion.
