Trajectory of Projectile
calculations of time of flight, horizontal range and height based on angle of projection or from a vertical height .
lets get into a synopsis
A projectile is an object thrown into the air with an initial velocity that then moves freely under the force of gravity alone, following a curved path called a trajectory. Key characteristics of a projectile include:Â
Â
-
Initial launch:It is given an initial push or velocity to set it in motion.ÂÂ
-
Gravity as the primary force:After being launched, the only significant force acting on it is gravity. Other forces like air resistance are often ignored for simplicity but can be considered.ÂÂ
-
Parabolic path (trajectory):Under gravity, the projectile follows a predictable, usually parabolic, path through the air.ÂÂ
-
No ongoing propulsion:Unlike a rocket or airplane, a projectile is not self-propelled and does not have its own engine or fuel source.ÂÂLet's meet in the class to make this concept flow like a fluidÂ
