Projectile Motion
An object that becomes airborne after it is thrown or projected is called projectile . Example , football , javelin throw , etc .
o
Projectile motion comprises of two parts – horizontal motion of no acceleration and vertical motion of constant acceleration due to gravity .
o Projectile motion is in the form of a parabola , y = ax + bx 2 . o
Projectile motion is usually calculated by neglecting air resistance to simplify calculations .
