Projectile + Circular Motion Help

In summary, the person is in need of a physics problem that involves projectile and circular motion theory, such as a slingshot or ball on a string. They are asking for help in formulating a problem or finding a website. Someone else has also asked for help on a similar question and provided a link. The person also mentions working on a problem involving electrons in a mass spectrometer in a magnetic field.

Hi
i am studying senior physics and in need of a problem that includes both PROJECTILE and CIRCULAR motion theory in one!
eg. slingshot, ball on string etc..
could anyone help me formulate a problem or provide me with a web site?

thanks a lot

hi
yeh, I am doing the electrons in a mass spectrometre and in mag. field
any questions?
 

1. What is projectile motion?

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is launched into the air and moves along a curved path due to the influence of gravity.

2. How is projectile motion different from circular motion?

Projectile motion involves an object being launched into the air and moving along a curved path, while circular motion involves an object moving in a circular path around a fixed point.

3. What factors affect the trajectory of a projectile?

The trajectory of a projectile is affected by the initial velocity, the angle of launch, the force of gravity, and air resistance.

4. Can a projectile have both horizontal and vertical motion?

Yes, a projectile can have both horizontal and vertical motion at the same time. The vertical motion is due to the force of gravity, while the horizontal motion is due to the initial velocity.

5. How can circular motion be described using equations?

Circular motion can be described using equations such as angular velocity, centripetal acceleration, and centripetal force. These equations relate the speed, radius, and mass of an object moving in a circular path.
