Question

what is projectile motion?

Answer 1

When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth's surface, it moves along a curved path. Such a particle is called projectile. The analysis of motion associated with a projectile is known as projectile motion.

Answer 2

is it possible in space without specific conditions? and why becomes a curved path?

Answer 3

In space it would only become a curved path if Gravity of another object with orbit had pulled on it or the projectile had hit a space rock of some sort.

Answer 4

That is because there is no gravity out in space, but other planets and stars do have Gravity so if the projectile got close enough to either one it's path would be curved due to the pull of Gravity.

Answer 5

its ok....but why we put specific situation for projectile @ the earth's surface?

Answer 6

Because a lot of different things can happen on the Earth's surface since you know, manking has fluttered with the terrain so much.

Answer 7

But since it isn't an actual projectile flying around you have to speak metaphorically, or... put a imaginary Projectile in motion in a certain scenario.

Answer 8

in projectile can we put both of th component of velocity constant?

Answer 9

Well considering Gravity on Earth pulls things down, the velocity wouldn't stay the same unless you had some sort of gas power behind the projectile launching it forth.
