projectile motion example problems

So far we have studied only the motion of an object under only one force. In this section we are going to study the motion of an object acted upon by two forces acting at right angles to each other. When an object is thrown horizontally from a certain height from the groun..

Projectile motion is an example of curved motion with constant acceleration. This is the two dimensional motion of a particle thrown obliquely into the air. The ideal motion of a cricket ball, a golf ball or a bullet is an example..

If a body is projected at a certain angle with the horizontal, then the body is called an oblique projectile. The motion of a projectile is a two dimensional motion. So it can be discussed in two parts Horizontal motion Vertical motion These ..

Oblique Projectile - The figure above shows a projectile thrown with a velocity v at an angle q with the horizontal. The velocity v is resolved into its two rectangular components, viz., v Cos q along X-axis which is constant, since, the force of gravity in the horizontal direct..

In the figure above, the projectile is at p at time t. Let v be the resultant velocity of the projectile at time t. This velocity is along the tangent to the trajectory at point p. Again, the motion in the horizontal direction is uniform. Therefore, the horizontal ..

In the previous chapters we studied the different types of motion like uniform motion, accelerated motion, projectile motion and periodic motion. We then learnt to relate the acceleration of the body to the force applied. In this cha..
