Projectile Motion
Projectile Motion Formula
We often experience many kinds of motions in our daily life. Projectile motion is one among them. A projectile is some object thrown in air or space. The Curved path along which the projectile travels is what is known as trajectory.
Projectile Motion is the free fall motion of any body in a horizontal path with constant velocity.
Projectile Motion Formula (trajectory formula) is given by
Where, Vx is the velocity along x-axis, Vxo is the initial velocity along x-axis, Vy is the velocity along y-axis, Vyo is the initial velocity along y-axis. g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time taken.
Equations related to trajectory motion (projectile motion) are given by,
Where,
Vo is the initial Velocity, sin θ is the component along y-axis, cos θ is the component along x-axis. Projectile Motion formula is used to find the distance, velocity and time taken in the projectile motion.
