Horizontal Projectile Motion
Projectile Motion/
1. The motion of a projectile in a horizontal plane, which depends upon the force
acting on it, is known as horizontal motion. It was the great scientist Galileo, who
first put forth the independence of the horizontal and the vertical components of
projectile motion in his dialogue on the great world systems.
horizontal projectile motion is one type of projectile (2D) motion in which its initial
velocity in vertical components is zero,
A projectile’s horizontal motion is the result of the tendency of any object to persist the
motion at a constant velocity. The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its
vertical motion.
The horizontal component of the speed of a projectile is constant throughout the flight
duration. Since after launching the projectile, no horizontal force acts on it. This is the
reason the projectile travels horizontally at a constant speed.
Gravity impacts the vertical motion of the projectile generating a vertical acceleration.
a student of physics can use information about the initial velocity and position of a
projectile to predict such things as how much time the projectile is in the air and how far
the projectile will go.
projectile motion is motion in two dimension. it is a motion of an object motion of an
object moving through air without any motive force.
horizontal motion is a motion along a horizontal component of a projection as it flies
through the air.
Procedure in order: First release the ball from a certain height, second mark the place
where it hit the ground, then measure the horizontal distance from the target to the point
of release. follow this procedure for all trials. finally record the results
