🌍Objects thrown at an angle follow a parabolic path due to the effect of gravity.
⏱️The time it takes for objects to hit the ground depends only on their vertical velocity.
📐The maximum range of an object is achieved when it is thrown at an angle of 45 degrees.
🎢Objects thrown at angles less than 45 degrees have shorter ranges, while angles greater than 45 degrees result in decreased range.
🌈The initial horizontal velocity of an object remains constant throughout its motion.
Why do objects follow a parabolic path when thrown at an angle?
—Objects follow a parabolic path when thrown at an angle due to the effect of gravity. The vertical and horizontal components of velocity change independently, resulting in the elegant curved trajectory.
Why does the range of an object maximized at an angle of 45 degrees?
—The range of an object is maximized at an angle of 45 degrees because the horizontal and vertical components of velocity are balanced. At this angle, the time the object spends in the air is maximized, allowing it to travel the farthest distance.
Do objects with greater horizontal velocity take longer to hit the ground?
—No, the time it takes for objects to hit the ground depends only on their vertical velocity. Objects thrown with greater horizontal velocity will cover more distance horizontally but will still hit the ground at the same time as objects with lower horizontal velocity.
Can objects be thrown at angles greater than 45 degrees?
—Yes, objects can be thrown at angles greater than 45 degrees. However, angles greater than 45 degrees result in decreased range. The time the object spends in the air decreases, outweighing the increase in horizontal velocity.
Does the initial horizontal velocity of an object change during projectile motion?
—No, the initial horizontal velocity of an object remains constant throughout its motion. Only the vertical component of velocity changes due to the effect of gravity.
