PROJECTILE projectile motion EXAMPLES OF PROJECTILE motion: motion of a missile shot from a gun motion of a bomb released from

a bomber motion of a Kicked or thrown balls motion of a Jumping of animals

ASSUMPTIONS FOR PROJECTILE MOTION The acceleration due to gravity is constant over the range of motion and is directed downward. The medium of projectile motion is assumed to be non-resistive (i.e. air resistance is negligible). The rotation of earth does not affected the motion

suppose a shell is fired with initial velocity vo making an angle with the horizontal the initial velocity can be resolved in its components such that vox=vocos voy=vosin time to reach maximum height consider the motion of the shell in vertical direction. Then,

Total time of flight of the projectile will be equal to the time required to reach the maximum height plus time required to reach the ground. In short T=t+t
