Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is projected into the air at an angle, such as a ball being thrown or a rocket being launched. It follows a curved path due to the influence of gravity.
The formula for calculating the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile is d = v * t * cos(theta), where d is the distance, v is the initial velocity, t is the time, and theta is the angle of projection.
The maximum height of a projectile is achieved when the angle of projection is 90 degrees (straight up). As the angle decreases, the maximum height also decreases.
Air resistance can slow down the projectile and cause it to deviate from its expected trajectory. This is because air resistance creates a force in the opposite direction of the projectile's motion, causing it to lose speed and change direction.
The range of a projectile can be affected by factors such as initial velocity, angle of projection, air resistance, and the gravitational force of the Earth. Other factors, such as the mass and shape of the projectile, can also play a role.
