Projectile Motion
In a projectile motion of an object imparted a velocity (v), the key assumptions are:
- no air resistance to the motion of the object
- earth is flat
- acceleration due to gravity is uniform everywhere
Motion of the object along x and y direction are independent of each other. The important quantities in a projectile motion are R = Horizontal Range, H = Maximum Height above ground, and T = Time of flight.
For a particle projected with velocity ‘v’ and at an angle ‘θ’ with the horizontal.
