Undergrad Body trajectory and force direction
Thanks dauto. As far as the projectile motion, the force of gravity is straight down vertical while the initial motion has both a vertical and a horizontal component. As you mention, the force will only modify the y-component of the velocity vector and not the x-component. Surely the... -

Undergrad Body trajectory and force direction
Hello Forum, Let's consider a particle that is giving an initial speed in a certain direction. The particle is now moving in that initial direction at a constant speed. If a later moment a force starts acting on the particle and the force direction is not along the original particle...
