What is Projectile?

If we throw a body in space obliquely with the horizontal surface than the motion of this body is
called projectile motion.

1. The trajectory of a projectile is parabolic.

2. Horizontal range of a projectile.
3. Vertical height of a projectile.
4. Numerical solution of projectile motion.

The trajectory of a projectile is parabolic

Let, v0 is the initial velocity 0 initial angle of a projectile.
Horizontal component of the initial velocity,
v0x = v0cos0 ….. (1)
Vertical component of the initial velocity,
v0y = v0 sin0 ….. (2)
At time t the Horizontal component of the velocity,
vx = v0cos0 ….. (3)
At time t the vertical component of the velocity,
vy = v0sin0  gt ….. (4)

At time t the Horizontal displacement of the projectile,

x = (v0cos0 )t ….. (5)
At time t the vertical displacement of the projectile,
y = (v0sin0)t  (1/2)gt2 ….. (6)

At the topmost point of the trajectory, Vertical velocity vy = 0

vy = 0 = v0sin0  gt
v0sin0 = gt

or, t = v0sin0/g …….(7)

Therefore, flying time , 2t =T

T = 2v0sin0/g …….(8)
