What is the maximum range of projectile?
45 degrees
How do you find the maximum height and range of a projectile?
How to find the maximum height of a projectile?
- if α = 90°, then the formula simplifies to: hmax = h + V₀² / (2 * g) and the time of flight is the longest.
- if α = 45°, then the equation may be written as:
- if α = 0°, then vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0), and that’s the case of horizontal projectile motion.
Can you explain projectile motion?
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory.
What are the principles of projectile motion?
The force of gravity acts on the object to stop its upward movement and pull it back to earth, limiting the vertical component of the projectile. As a projectile moves through the air it is slowed down by air resistance. Air resistance will decrease the horizontal component of a projectile.
What is a projectile give four example of projectiles in everyday life?
A projectile is an object or body launched into the air and allowed to move on its own or moving freely under gravity. Examples are – a shot arrow, a thrown javeline, a fired bullet, a kicked football etc.
Can calculate the time taken of a projectile motion?
Determine the time it takes for the projectile to reach its maximum height. Use the formula (0 – V) / -32.2 ft/s^2 = T where V is the initial vertical velocity found in step 2. For example, if your initial vertical velocity was 32.14 ft/s, it would take 0.998 seconds. The unit of ft/s^2 denotes feet per second squared.
What is the acceleration of a projectile horizontally?
Its vertical acceleration is -9.8 m/(s^2) (the acceleration due to gravity) and a projectile (if you’re neglecting air resistance) never has acceleration in the horizontal direction. So in the horizontal direction the acceleration would be 0. Hope this helps!
