What is Projectile Motion?
Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is thrown near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.
Key Equations
- Time of flight: Found by solving the quadratic equation for the vertical motion setting final height to 0.
- Maximum height: Occurs when the vertical component of velocity becomes zero.
- Range (Distance): The horizontal distance traveled, which is the horizontal velocity multiplied by the total time of flight.
