Q.1: Define Projectile? Define Projectile motion? Ans: PROJECTILE "Any object that is given any initial velocity and which subsequently follows a path determined by the gravitational force acting on it and by the fictional resistance of the atmosphere is called a Projectile". O r "An object projected into space without the driving power of Its own and moves under the action of gravity is called Projectile". PROJECTILE MOTION: "When a covers a (distance) parabolic type of motion is called
body is thrown with an angle '0' and it path under the action of gravity, this Projectile Motion".
Example: Kicked or thrown balls. Jumping annuals. Object thrown from a window. Object released from an aero plane. Q.2: A particle is projected at an angle to the horizontal with the velocity allowed to fall freely so that It covers a certain distance in a parabolic path. Derive the expression for the following: Horizontal component of velocity
Ans:
Vertical component of velocity
Maximum height of the projectile Range of the projectile > The maximum range Projectile trajectory Suppose a particle is projected at an angle t with the horizontal, as shown in figure. T h e
