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".
Or "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.

Ans:

Maximum height

V ,
Q.2: A particle is projected at an angle to the horizontal with the velocity and is
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

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