Solution

Projectile Motion

  1. When an object is hurled in the air or from the air, it moves only in one plane and covers just that plane's distance.
  2. Projectile motion is one example of such a motion. One of the most significant criteria in projectile travel is the earth's uniform gravitational field.
  3. A projectile is a body that is launched into the earth's uniform gravitational field (near the surface) and follows a course that is totally dictated by the forces of gravity and air resistance.
  4. Neglecting the effects of air resistance is one of the requirements for studying projectile motion.
  5. The projectile will always be restricted in the vertical plane since gravity's acceleration is always in the vertically downward direction.
  6. The motion is one-dimensional if the bullet is thrown vertically upward, and two-dimensional if the projectile is launched inclined to the vertical.
  7. The time it takes to rise is the same as the time it takes to fall.

Therefore, the time to rise is equal to the time of fall.
