[2.1] Projectile Motion

• TRAJECTORY


  The parabolic path traveled by the projectile.
• PROJECTILE


  Any object is given an initial velocity.
• ASSUMPTIONS

  1. The free-fall acceleration is constant over the range of motion and is directed downward.
  2. The effect of air resistance is negligible.
  3. The curvature and rotation of the earth are negligible.
• PROJECTILE MOTION


  Motion experienced by an object launched into the air and is then subjected to the force of gravity.
