Define projectile particle and derive the equation $y\, = \,(\tan \,{\theta _0})x\, - \,\frac{g}{{(2\,\cos \,{\theta _0})}}{x^2}$
When an object is thrown in gravitational field of the Earth, it moves with constant horizontal velocity and constant vertical acceleration. Such a two dimensional motion is called a projectile motion and such an object is called a projectile.
Let the distance travelled by the object at time ' $\mathrm{t}$ ' using with $v_{\mathrm{o}}$ given by $x=\left(v_{0} \cos \theta_{0}\right) t$
Let the distance travelled by the projectile along the y direction be given by
$y=\left(v_{0} \sin \theta_{0}\right) t-1 / 2 g t^{2}$
From $(1)$ $\mathrm{t}=\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}$
Putting $\mathrm{t}$ value in $\mathrm{y}$ we get
$y=\left(v_{0} \sin \theta_{0}\right)\left(\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}\right)-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~g}\left(\frac{x}{v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}}\right)$
$y=x \tan \theta_{o}-\frac{1}{2} \frac{g}{\left(v_{o} \cos \theta_{o}\right)^{2}} \cdot x^{2}$
Which one of the following statements is not true about the motion of a projectile?
A projectile fired at $30^{\circ}$ to the ground is observed to be at same height at time $3 s$ and $5 s$ after projection, during its flight. The speed of projection of the projectile is $.........\,ms ^{-1}$(Given $g=10\,m s ^{-2}$ )
A stone is projected at angle $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The ratio of kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection to its kinetic energy at the highest point of flight will be :
A ball thrown by a boy is caught by another after $2\ sec$. some distance away in the same level. If the angle of projection is $30^o $, the velocity of projection is ......... $m/s$
Four bodies $P, Q, R$ and $S$ are projected with equal velocities having angles of projection $15^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontals respectively. The body having shortest range is
