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.
