a football player can know at what angle he needs to kick the ball to score a goal, or to make it reach a particular point. a baketball player can know at what angle he can shoot and what velocity he needs to give the Basketball, during a free throw. for sharpshooters, this is very important, as they get to know the angle,etc.
Projectile motion is how a body moves through space and how it is affected by gravity and outside forces. This is important in sports such as football (throwing the ball), soccer (kicking the ball accurately), and Archery (shooting the arrow accurately).
projectile motion
I think bowling would be one.
No. Neglecting air resistance, the projectile follows a parabola. The horizontal distance is proportional to 'time', and the vertical distance is proportional to 'time squared'. This is exactly the description of a parabola.
displacement is indirectionly propotional to time .
D= vyt+1/2at2 a = (v2-v1)/t These are the two most basic formula that are used to figure out projectile motion questions, combine with SOHCAHTOA (trig) to solve simple projectile motion problems. Remember the horizontal velocity is always constant.
In the projectile motion, when the object is thrown at angle of 45 degress, it travels the largest distance. So, in the sports like javelin throw and shot put, by throwing the spear and the iron ball, respectively, at an angle of 45 degrees, one can cover a large distance, without putting out much effort.
hypothesis on projectile motion
Because a projectile by definition, is in motion.
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
motion of a projectile
gravity
Gravity
A feather falling in a vacuum is not considered as a projectile motion. Gravity, which is absent in a vacuum, is one of the components of projectile motion.

Gravity
No, gravity is only one of the vectors in projectile motion.
Projectile motion is a form of motion in which a projectile is thrown near the earth's surface. When thrown, the projectile moves along a curved path because of gravity. An example of projectile motion is a sprinkler shooting water into the air and the water falling back down to Earth.
