Is a projectile motion graph a straight graph or a curved graph​

Physics

Answer:

» Projectile motion is a curved graph.

☑ This is because projectile motion consists of both vertical and horizontal motion, with one starting angle. Hence as the body starts motion, it is acted upon by gravity.

At point v = 0, the motion is free from gravity hence approaching horizontal motion.

Examples;

  • A ball kicked upwards at an angle which is not 90°
  • A man playing golf.
  • A plane dropping a bomb.

Hi there!

<u>Curved graph. </u>

For an object undergoing projectile motion, the HORIZONTAL component of its remains constant (assuming no air resistance), while the VERTICAL component is changing due to a constant acceleration due to gravity.

We can relate vertical displacement vs. time to this acceleration using the kinematic equation:

d_y= v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

dy = displacement (m)

vy₀ = initial vertical velocity (m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

This is an example of a QUADRATIC equation, which means the trajectory of a projectile would form a parabolic shape.

<u>Thus, it would be a curved graph.</u>

A 650 kg steel beam is being pulled up by a crane with a force of 7020 N. What is the upwards acceleration of the beam?
zimovet [89]

Answer: 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

n= w+ma

n= Mg+Ma

7020 = (650)(9.8)+650a

7020 = 6370+ 650a

650=650a

A= 1 m/s^2
