Answer:
A projectile is any object thrown into space upon which the only acting force is gravity. The primary force acting on a projectile is gravity. This doesn’t necessarily mean that other forces do not act on it, just that their effect is minimal compared to gravity. The path followed by a projectile is known as a trajectory. A baseball batted or thrown is an example of the projectile.
What is Projectile Motion?
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 centre 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 projectile motion.
In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions:
Along the x-axis: uniform velocity, responsible for the horizontal (forward) motion of the particle.
Along y-axis: uniform acceleration, responsible for the vertical (downwards) motion of the particle.
