Notes: Projectile Motion
projectile- any object launched, thrown or shot through the air under the force of gravity. (neglecting air resistance)
Trajectory of object can be resolved into components to find two independent velocities
Ax = Acos = Vx
Ay = Asin = Vy
***Strategy – both horizontal motion and vertical motion are connected by the variable time (t) at the same point on a trajectory. Solving for t in one dimension gives t in the other dimension.
