Solution Summary

Solution explains the concepts of projectile motion along with all mathematical steps.

Solution Preview

The key to solving most of the projectile motion problems is conservation of energy.
For example, if we are asked to find the final velocity just before touching ground, for a body of mass m thrown with a velocity V, proceed as follows.

We are "Throwing" the body; this means we did work on the body--> or in other words we gave it some energy and with that energy it is flying.

As energy can neither be created or destroyed, we must take the final energy ...

  • Projectile Motion: Horizontal range and time of flight.

    Thus we think that the particle is moving 1) horizontally with uniform velocity u cos and 2) vertically with initial velocity u sin, and acceleration -g and we can consider both motion (horizontal and vertical) separately.

  • Projectiles and Vectors

    In the vertical direction, the gravitational force causes the projectile to experience a free fall motion (constant acceleration). In the horizontal directions, since there is no force, the projectile performs a constant-speed motion.
