For a projectile, which of the following quantities are constant during the flight: x, y, vx , vy , v, ax , ay ? Which of the quantities are zero throughout the flight?
Using the equation of the path for a projectile, Show that :
at x=R/2, the height of the projectile is the maximum height h.
at x=R, the projectile is on the ground; (y=0).
An object is launched horizontally at a height of 30 m with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The x-component of the initial velocity is:
