Question

What is projectile motion?

Answer 1

Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object or particle i.e. called aprojectile is thrown near the Earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. ... The only force of significance that acts on the object is gravity, which acts downward to cause a downward acceleration.

Answer 2

Answer:

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

☆ The study of such types of motion are called ballistics and such a trajectory is called a ballistic trajectory

☆ The only force of significance that acts on the object gravity, which acts downward, thus imparting to the object a downward acceleration

☆ There are generally three types of projectile motion

● horizontal projectile motion

● oblique projectile motion

● inclined plane projectile motion

☆ in particular,the effects of the air resistance are assumed to be negligible.
