What Is Projectile Motion?

When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth’s surface, it moves along a curved path under constant acceleration directed towards the centre of the earth (we assume that the particle remains close to the earth’s surface). The path of such a particle is called a projectile, and the motion is called projectile motion.

In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions:

Along the x-axis: uniform velocity, responsible for the horizontal (forward) motion of the particle.
Along the y-axis: uniform acceleration, responsible for the vertical (downwards) motion of the particle.

Differential equations of motions:

Maximum Height of Projectile

After understanding what a projectile is, let us know the maximum height of the projectile. The object’s maximum height is the highest vertical position along its trajectory. The horizontal displacement of the projectile is called the range of the projectile. The range of the projectile depends on the object’s initial velocity.

A projectile is any object thrown into space upon which the only acting force is gravity. The primary force acting on a projectile is gravity. This doesn’t necessarily mean that other forces do not act on it, just that their effect is minimal compared to gravity. The path followed by a projectile is known as a trajectory. A baseball batted or thrown is an example of a projectile.
