Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected in a gravitational field, such as from Earth's surface, and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air when, after the initial force that launches the object, air resistance is negligible and the only other force that object experiences is the force of gravity.
Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in a parabolic path. The path followed by the object is called its trajectory. Projectile motion occurs when a force is applied at the beginning of the trajectory for the launch (after this the projectile is subject only to the gravity).
Projectiles are objects upon which the only force is gravity. Gravity, being a vertical force, causes a vertical acceleration. The vertical velocity changes by -9.8 m/s each second of motion. On the other hand, the horizontal acceleration is 0 m/s/s and the projectile continues with a constant horizontal velocity throughout its entire trajectory.
A projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity. By definition, a projectile has a single force that acts upon it - the force of gravity. If there were any other force acting upon an object, then that object would not be a projectile.
Projectile motion is basically just free fall, only with the understanding that the object we are tracking was “projected,” or “shot,” with some initial velocity (as opposed to just dropped from rest).
20 lut 2022 · Projectile motion is the motion of an object through the air that is subject only to the acceleration of gravity. To solve projectile motion problems, perform the following steps: Determine a coordinate system.
