Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution:

A projected object which continues in motion through space by its own inertia is called as a projectile.

Explanation of Solution

An object thrown into space with some initial velocity and then allowed to act upon by the forces of gravity is a projectile motion. Any object in motion through space is called as a projectile.

If an object thrown into space at an angle, then it has both vertical and horizontal components. The projectile moves the same horizontal distance in equal time intervals, as there is no acceleration taking place horizontally. The only acceleration is vertical, in the direction of Earth’s gravity which will affect the vertical component.

Conclusion:

A projected object which continues in motion through space by its own inertia is called as a projectile.
