What will be the path of a projectile?
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.
At what point or points in its path does a projectile have its minimum speed and its maximum?
Let us try and answer this quest by using a bullet or shell fired from a gun. The projectiles maximum speed is at the point of leaving its casing. From that moment it begins to be slowed by air pressure in front of the projectile and also curves towards the earth attracted by gravity. Point of interest. The rifling of a guns barrel does not make the projectile go faster. It makes it spin so that it travels straighter and not tumble like the old none spinning projectiles.
Can projectile be linear?
A projectile inevitably follows a parabolic path due to the force of gravity unless it has its own propulsion system.
The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on what?
Projectile motion is a form of motion wherein an object moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The height of a projectile in motion is dependent on gravity.
How do you solve a projectile motion problem?
An object projected by force and continuing in motion by its own inertia.An objectile is a a projectile only when it is in a state of motion,usually it covers a parabola shape path.
Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?
A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.
A path of a projectile is?
The path of a projectile is it's trajectory.
What will be the path of a projectile?
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.
What causes the path of a projectile to be curved?
The gravitation forces are what causes the path of a projectile to be curved.
A projectile fired from the ground follows a parabolic path The speed of the projectile is minimum at the top of its path?
Yep that is correct. To understand this it may help you to draw a parabola. If you draw a line from the top of the parabola back to the ground you'd notice either side of this line is symmetrical. This isn't quite what happens to a projectile (following a parabolic path), but because of the nature of the question, effects such as air resistance can be ignored. As the projectile approaches the top of its path, the vertical component of its velocity approaches zero. As the projectile begins to fall the magnitude of the vertical component of the projectile begins to increase. The only force that acts on the projectile during flight is gravity which pulls it towards the earth. Since this force and the horizontal component of the projectiles velocity are at right angles to each other, the horizontal component of the velocity is unaffected during flight . This explains the symmetry of the parabola and also means the time to reach the top of path equals the time from the top of path back to the ground. The projectile will hit the ground with the same speed as it left the ground. If you draw a horizontal line through the parabola, at the two points where the line and the parabola cross, the speed of the projectile will be the same. The only change to the balls speed during the flight comes as the vertical component of its velocity tends to zero as it reaches the top of the curve and then falling back down due to gravity. I'm unsure of your physics knowledge but hopefully this doesn't confuse you. If you have learned about vectors, then this can be simply understood/explained.
With out air pressure at what point or points in its path does a projectile have its minimum speed and its maximum?
Without air friction, the horizontal component of the velocity will be constant. The vertical component of the velocity will be a maximum at the lowest point in its motion and at a minimum at the highest point in its motion. Therefore the minimum is at the highest point in its motion- Potential energy max Kinetic Energy min and the maximum is at its lowest point in the motion- KE is max PE min
What quantities remain constant in projectile motion?
All that I can think of are: 1.) Gravity 2.) Wind 2.A) wind speed 2.B) direction of wind 3.) Angle of trajectory 4.) Initial speed of projectile 5.) Material through which projectile travels (as in density) 6.) Mass of projectile 7.) Spin 7.A) speed of spin 7.B) axis/axes spining occurs on 8.) Shape of projectile 9.) Temperature of medium projectile is in 10.) Size of projectile (as in height, width, and depth) 11.) Weighting of projectile 12.) Obsturctions to projectile's path In a vaccuum, though, these are the variables: 1.) Speed of object 2.) Obstructions in path 3.) Gravity
At what point in its trajectory does a batted baseball have its minimum speed?
Minimum speed occurs at the top, which is the same as the horizontal component of velocity anywhere along the path.
The path of a projectile is always?
Curved

The path taken by a missile or projectile?
trajectory
What do you call a curved path followed by a projectile?
The curved path is called a trajectory
