A ball is projected horizontally with a velocity 4g m/s from height 18 meter. What is the velocity of body at t = 3 sec?


Since the body is projected in horizontal direction with velocity 4g, therefore

Since the body is projected in horizontal direction with velocity 4g,
Now the horizontal and vertical component of velocity at t = 3s is,

Since the body is projected in horizontal direction with velocity 4g,
The angle that the velocity vector makes with horizontal is,

Since the body is projected in horizontal direction with velocity 4g,

A body is projected with velocity 19·6 m/s in horizontal direction. After what time the horizontal and vertical component of velocity will be the same?

Given, that the body is projected in the horizontal direction. 

So, we have 




Now, the horizontal component of velocity at any instant is given by, 

 

Vertical component of velocity is, 

 

Since, horizontal and vertical component of velocity is the same, we have

        9.8 t = 19.6

i.e.,        t = 2s

A projectile is projected horizontally with velocity u and allowed to fall only under gravity. Discuss the trajectory of projectile. 

Consider a projectile, which is projected with velocity 'u' in horizontal direction from a point at height h from the ground. 

Let origin be the point of projection. 

The right direction is positive direction of X-axis and vertically downward direction is positive direction of Y-axis.

The component of velocity and acceleration is resolved into horizontal and vertical components.

So, 
                     

Motion along horizontal direction is, 

     
              ...(1) 

Motion along vertical direction is,

                     ...(2)

Eliminating 't' from (1) and (2), we get

                         

This is the required equation of trajectory.

Since the equation of trajectory is an equation of parabola, therefore path of projectile is parabola.

A projectile is projected horizontally with velocity from the top of an inclined plane of inclination θ. How far from the point of projection will the projectile hit tht plane?

Let us consider a projectile is projected with velocity u in horizontal direction from a point O on an inclined plane and hit the inclined plane at P↔(x, y). Let O be the origin, right direction is positive direction of X-axis and vertically downward direction is positive direction of Y-axis. Break the components of velocity and acceleration due to gravity in horizontal and vertical direction.

Let us consider a projectile is projected with velocity u in horizont
