PROJECTILE MOTION -CONDITIONS FOR MAXIMUM RANGE & HEIGHT

Table of Contents

    PROJECTILE MOTION

    An article that is tossed, shot, or projected high up at a point at an angle with the horizontal level affected by gravity is known as projectile motion.The way of the shot (path of the projectile) that finishes the air is known as a trajectory.

    The direction of a shot (trajectory of a projectile) is a parabola.Projectile movement can be considered as a mix of even (horizontal) and vertical movement.

    PROJECTILE MOTION- EXAMPLES

    • Trip of a base ball
    • Trip of a shell from a cannon
    • A projectile from the weapon
    • A ball hit by the batsman for a six
    • A parcel dropped from a plane
    • The twist of a soccer kick

    PROJECTILE MOTION- VELOCITY COMPONENTS

    Projectile motion
    Horizontal and vertical components of velocity
    Projectile motion – Velocity components

    The even(horizontal) and vertical parts of speed are autonomous(independent) of one another. No outer power(external force) acts the flat way(horizontal direction) and thus the even (horizontal) movement is supposed to be uniform.

    It is as indicated by NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION which states that,”Every body is in its condition of rest or of uniform movement in right line,unless constrained by some outside powers (external forces) to act”.

    RANGE OF A PROJECTILE

    Projectile motion – Range of a projectile

    RANGE IN THE HORIZONTAL DIRECTION

    Range the level way (horizontal direction) is the even distance (horizontal distance)went during the time of flight(T).

    Projectile motion – Range in the horizontal direction

    CONDITIONS FOR MAXIMUM RANGE OF THE PROJECTILE

    Projectile motion – Condition for maximum range

    Greatest reach is gotten when it is projected at a point of 45 degree
