Content
Definition of Projectile Motion
A projectile is anybody that is thrown or projected. In other words, a projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. The projectile motion has two elements: the horizontal projectile motion and the vertical projectile motion. The path of a projectile object and the projectile motion is captured and illustrated in the diagram below.
Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. A few examples of this include a soccer ball begin kicked, a baseball begin thrown, or an athlete long jumping. Even fireworks and water fountains are examples of projectile motion.
