Define projectile particle and derive the equation $y\, = \,(\tan \,{\theta _0})x\, - \,\frac{g}{{(2\,\cos \,{\theta _0})}}{x^2}$
When an object is thrown in gravitational field of the Earth, it moves with constant horizontal velocity and constant vertical acceleration. Such a two dimensional motion is called a projectile motion and such an object is called a projectile.
Let the distance travelled by the object at time ' $\mathrm{t}$ ' using with $v_{\mathrm{o}}$ given by $x=\left(v_{0} \cos \theta_{0}\right) t$
Let the distance travelled by the projectile along the y direction be given by
$y=\left(v_{0} \sin \theta_{0}\right) t-1 / 2 g t^{2}$
From $(1)$ $\mathrm{t}=\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}$
Putting $\mathrm{t}$ value in $\mathrm{y}$ we get
$y=\left(v_{0} \sin \theta_{0}\right)\left(\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}\right)-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~g}\left(\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}\right)$
$y=x \tan \theta_{o}-\frac{1}{2} \frac{g}{\left(v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}\right)^{2}} \cdot x^{2}$
An object is projected in the air with initial velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range $R$, is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of first object. The initial velocity remains same in both the case. The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected, will be $.......$ degree.
A cart is moving horizontally along a straight line with a constant speed of $30\,m / s$. A projectile is to be fired from the moving cart in such a way that it will retum to the cart (at the same point on cart) after the cart has moved $80\,m$. At what velocity (relative to the cart) must be projectile be fired? (Take $=10\,m / s ^2$ )
A projectile is thrown with a velocity of $50\,\, ms^{^{-1}}$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal The equation of the trajectory is given by
An object is thrown along a direction inclined at an angle of ${45^o}$ with the horizontal direction. The horizontal range of the particle is equal to
Aball is thrown from a point on ground at some angle of projection. At the same time a bird starts from a point directly above this point of projection at a height $h$ horizontally with speed $u$. Given that in its flight ball just touches the bird at one point. Find the distance on ground where ball strikes
