Question

What is meant by projectile motion?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

$Projectile~motion$

★Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only (in particular, the effects of air resistance are assumed to be negligible).

★In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions:

• Along 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.

★In projectile motion, gravity is the only force acting on the object.

Answer 2

if an object is given an initial velocity in any direction and then allowed to travel freely under gravity, it is called a projectile motion.
