Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is launched or thrown and moves through the air due to the force of gravity.
Projectile motion for a rolling ball is different because the ball is not only affected by gravity, but also by the frictional force of the surface it is rolling on. This can change the trajectory and speed of the ball.
The factors that affect the projectile motion of a rolling ball include the initial velocity, angle of launch, air resistance, height of the launch, and the surface the ball is rolling on.
Yes, a ball can have a horizontal velocity while in projectile motion. This is because the ball has both a horizontal and vertical component of velocity, and the horizontal velocity remains constant due to the absence of external forces acting on it.
The formula for calculating the range (horizontal distance) of a rolling ball in projectile motion is: R = (V^2 * sin2θ) / g, where R is the range, V is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
