Question

What two factors affect projectile motion

Answer 1

Factors affect the projectile motion are

1. Gravity

2. Air resistance

3. Angle of release

4. Speed of release, etc.

1. Gravity: affect gravitational force, g= 9.81 m/s2

2. Air resistance : Resists the motion of objects, acts in opposite direction.

3. Angle of release: This refers to the angle that the object thrown.

4. Angle of release ; In sporting situations angle of release varies according to the activity.

Answer 2

Initial velocity and launch angle

Step-by-step explanation:

An object thrown into space is known as projectile. The motion of the object is known projectile motion. The projectile motion depends on the initial velocity and the launch angle. The horizontal velocity remains same. The object accelerates vertically downwards due to gravity.

Range,
`R = (u^2sin2\theta)/(g)`

Maximum height,
`H =(u^2 sin^2\theta)/(2g)`
