Question
A projectile is projected with velocity u in horizontal direction. Write the expression for the trajectory of projectile.
Solution
When the body is projected with velocity 'u' in the horizontal direction, expression for trajectory of projectile is given by,
where,
'g' is acceleration de to gravity,
'x' is the horizontal distance covered by the particle,
'u' is the initial velocity of the particle, and
'y' is the object in the vertical direction.
