A projectile is an object that flies through the air is affected by only gravity.
So, with no air resistance, all projectiles have the same acceleration down throughout its flight: 10 m/s² .
Explanation:
The motion of an object that move only under the action of gravity is called projectile motion.
All projectile have only acceleration due to gravity. In projectile motion, the horizontal movement of an object equals zero.
Equation of motion for a projectile are :
In horizontal motion,
Acceleration = [tex]a_x=0[/tex]
Velocity- time = [tex]v_x=v_{0x}[/tex]
Displacement - time, [tex]x=x_0+v_{0x}t[/tex]
In vertical motion,
Acceleration = [tex]a_y=-g[/tex]
Velocity- time = [tex]v_y=v_{0y}-gt[/tex]
Displacement - time, [tex]y=y_0+v_{0y}t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
