What force is most responsible for the path of an object during projectile motion?

Physics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
7 0
The gravitational force.

In fact, the motion of the projectile is composed by two independent motions:
- on the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion (with constant speed)
- on the vertical direction, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, where the vertical acceleration g is given by the gravity exerted by the Earth on the projectile.

For this reason, the composition of the two motions results in a parabolic trajectory.

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>
