Question

in projectile motion why we are resolving in 2 mutually perpendicular direction? ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the main reason is:

1. if we consider the projectile as a whole, it is very difficult to find the equation of motion .But if we resolve the velocity vector then, we can consider the projectile as a combination of 2 linear motions.

2. For example: It helps us to understand the concept of motion if we throw a stone upwards out of a train moving. we are giving 2 perpendicular velocity, but the resultant is projectile.

Hope you will be able to understand

Answer 2

Answer:

In projectile motion we resolve the velocity in two mutually perpendicular directions because. Perpendicular directions are independent from each other. And it makes it easier to study the motion of the object.
