Same problem but different numbers, hence no duplicate.haruspex said:
Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is launched or thrown into the air and moves under the influence of gravity alone. It follows a curved path known as a parabola.
Acceleration in projectile motion is the rate of change of velocity, or how quickly the object's speed and direction are changing. In the case of projectile motion, the only acceleration acting on the object is due to gravity, which causes the object to accelerate towards the ground at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s^2.
Distance in projectile motion can be calculated using the equation d = v0t + 1/2at^2, where d is the distance traveled, v0 is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration due to gravity. This equation assumes that the object was launched from ground level and neglects air resistance.
Yes, an object in projectile motion can change direction. This is because the object's velocity is constantly changing due to the acceleration of gravity. As a result, the object's direction of motion will also change, causing it to follow a curved path.
The distance traveled in projectile motion is affected by the initial velocity of the object, the angle at which it is launched, and the acceleration due to gravity. Other factors such as air resistance and wind can also affect the distance traveled, but they are usually neglected in basic projectile motion calculations.
