Q.1: Define Projectile? Define Projectile motion?

Ans: PROJECTILE "Any object that is given any

initial velocity and which subsequently
follows a path determined by the gravitational force acting on it and by the fictional
resistance of the atmosphere is called a
Projectile".
O
r "An object projected into space
without the driving power of Its own
and moves under the action of
gravity is called Projectile".

PROJECTILE MOTION: "When a body is thrown with an angle '0' and it

covers a (distance) parabolic path under the action of gravity, this
type of motion is called Projectile Motion".
Example:
 Kicked or thrown balls.

 Jumping annuals. Object thrown

from a window.
 Object released from an aero plane.
Q.2: A particle is projected at an angle to the horizontal with the velocity a
allowed to fall freely so that It covers a certain distance in a parabolic path. Derive the
expression for the following:
Horizontal component of velocity

 Vertical component of velocity

 Maximum height of the projectile

Range of the projectile
> The maximum range
Ans:

 Projectile trajectory
Suppose a particle is projected at an angle t with the horizontal, as shown in figure. T h e
