It's 0 at the beginning and end of the trajectory, both at ground level.Scorry said:
Projectile motion from the ground is the movement of an object that is launched from a horizontal surface, such as the ground. It follows a curved path due to the influence of gravity and the initial velocity of the object.
The factors that affect projectile motion from the ground include the initial velocity of the object, the angle at which it is launched, and the force of gravity. Other factors such as air resistance and wind can also play a role.
The trajectory of a projectile can be calculated using the equations of motion, which take into account the initial velocity, angle of launch, and acceleration due to gravity. These equations can be solved using mathematical methods or by using computer software.
The maximum height of a projectile is reached when the vertical component of its velocity becomes zero. This can be calculated using the equation h = (v^2 * sin^2θ) / (2g), where h is the maximum height, v is the initial velocity, θ is the angle of launch, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Projectile motion from the ground has many practical applications, such as in sports like basketball and baseball where the trajectory of a ball needs to be calculated for accurate shots. It is also used in military operations, such as the trajectory of a missile or bomb. In addition, it is an important concept in physics and engineering for understanding the motion of objects in 2-dimensional space.
