Projectile Motion
Let us Begin by Understanding the basics of the Law of independence:
– Law of independence
- Motion in perpendicular directions is mutually independent.
- Motion in a plane is resolved into two parts.
Now that we have established a basic understanding of the law of independence:
Important Definitions:
- A motion is curvilinear when initial velocity and acceleration are non-collinear.
- Acceleration has two components also:
- Tangential acceleration: Responsible for changes in speed
- Normal/Radial/Centripetal Acceleration:
Responsible for changing the direction of velocity.
– Projectile Motion(Types)
- Object projected non-vertically are projectiles.
- It follows a Parabolic Path.
- It is motion under gravity (uniformly accelerated motion)
Types:
- Horizontal Projection
- Oblique Projection
- General Projection
– Horizontal Projection
Combination of
- Uniform Horizontal Motion
- Free Fall under Gravity
- Oblique Projection
Combination of Uniform Horizontal Motion Vertical Projectile
