Question

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The projectile motion is an example of two dimensions motion. It is a motion in two dimensions under the force of gravity.

When a projectile throws at any arbitrary angle other than 0 degree or 90 degree, it covers both horizontal and vertical distance.

The horizontal distance is called height and horizontal distance is called range.

The formula for the vertical height is given by

$H = \frac{u^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}$

The formula for the horizontal range is given by

$R = \frac{u^{2}Sin 2\theta }{g}$

Answer 2

A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. Many projectiles not only undergo a vertical motion, but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is, as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally.
