what is projectile motion?

Question

can someone define it in an easily understandable way. thanks! =)

Answer 1

An object thrown vertically up with some speed, its velocity will be decreasing and its velocity becomes zero when it attains the maximum height and then returns down with increasing velocity.

If an object is thrown at angle to the vertical with some speed, its velocity will be decreasing and its velocity becomes zero when it attains the maximum height and then returns down with increasing velocity.
The difference between the former and latter is that in the latter case it moves horizontally through some distance while duplicating the vertical fall of the former case.

In terms of velocity, the object has two velocities one in the vertical direction and another in the horizontal direction.
The horizontal velocity does not change in with time while the vertical velocity is affected by the gravitational pull.

The path of the object is parabolic in shape and the motion is called projectile motion and the object is called projectile.

Answer 2

Projectile Motion Definition

Answer 3

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. A few
examples of this include a soccer ball begin kicked, a baseball begin thrown, or an athlete
long jumping. Even fireworks and water fountains are examples of projectile motion.

Answer 4

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. A few
examples of this include a soccer ball begin kicked, a baseball begin thrown, or an athlete
long jumping. Even fireworks and water fountains are examples of projectile motion. In this
lesson you will learn the fundamentals of projectile motion. You will be given examples and
interesting facts. Finally, you will get to test your knowledge with a game called Water Balloons!.

Answer 5

projectile motion is the motion of a body upwards making
an angle with the ground and then falling of that body at a distance

Answer 6

Projectile motion is TRAJECTORY.

It assumes a constant horizontal motion (provided you ignore air resistance) and a changing vertical motion due to the force of gravity.

A good example is shooting an arrow into the air.

Answer 7

Any thing projected in any direction and that motion of the particle is called projectile motion.

Example. If you projected a stone in 60 degrees of angle to horizontal level then the motion of the partilce will be in parabolic motion.

Answer 8

A projectile is any object which once projected continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity.

Answer 9

A projectile is an object on which the only force acting is gravity. No air resistance allowed. No other forces, just gravity pushing down

Answer 10

A projectile is an unpowered object which travels through the air or space. In common usage, it very often refers to a projected weapon such as a bullet or arrow. It is not necessary that gravity is the only force on the object; air may provide lift, stability, or drag for real projectiles, for example. If gravity *is* the only significant force, however, it is more properly referred to as a "ballistic projectile"
