Question

What Is Projectile motion?


​

Answer 1

Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. This curved path was shown by Galileo to be a parabola, but may also be a line in the special case when it is thrown directly upwards.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Answer

• "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 center of the earthis called as projectile motion"

• Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. ... In this section, we consider two-dimensional projectile motion, such as that of a football or other object for which air resistance is negligible.
