Projectile Motion: Understanding the Basics and Beyond

Concept map

A Concept map is a colorful, visual form of representing key concepts covered in a chapter . It can be used as an effective overview , learning and revision tool.

At its heart is a central topic of the chapter . This is then explored by means of branches representing main ideas, which all connect to this central idea.

Concept maps are metacognitive tools that give students awareness towards the process of learning and allow the representation of knowledge structures in thematic fields

Questions

1. A projectile of mass 1 kg has two mutually perpendicular velocities 3m/s, 4 m/s at two different instances of time, during its path. What is its minimum kinetic energy?

2. A particle starts from origin of x,y coordinates at t = 0 and moves in x-y plane with a constant acceleration ‘α’ in y-direction. It’s equ- -ation of motion is, y =βx2. What is its velocity along x-direction ?

3. The equation of a projectile is y = px - qx2 . then R = ?

4) A projectile is projected at an angle 60° with the horizontal at 20 m/sec. At the instance, when its velocity makes an angle 30° with horizontal, the radius of curvature of its path is ------ (g = 10 m/s2)

5) If V1,V2 are the velocities at the end of a focal chord of the path of a particle and u is the horizontal component of velocity of projection, then u= ------ ?
