^Horizontal projectiles
^Horizontal projectiles
Suppose a body is projected from some height from point O horizontally with the velocity u. Let at time ‘t’ the projectile is at point P (x, -y) where its velocity is v directed at angle b to the horizontal.
For the motion O to P along x & y axis we can write
Using s – t relation
- x – t function: x = ut
- y – t function:
- Using v – t relation
- vx – t function: vx = u
- vy – t function: vy = gt
From the velocity triangle of v, vx & vy we get
