travel horizontally
An object thrown upward at an angle An object that's thrown horizontally off a cliff and allowed to fall
The ball was thrown horizontally at 10 meters per sec, and the thrower's arm was 78.4 meters above the base of the cliff.
if the bal is thrown by making 45 degree angles. with the ground..it will travel maximum distance...
10 m/s
yes it does the optimal ang
If gravity did not affect a horizontally thrown ball, it would travel in a straight line horizontally at a constant velocity. Gravity only acts vertically, causing the ball to fall towards the ground, so without this vertical force, the horizontal motion would remain unaffected.
It would travel in a straight line until air resistance brought it to a standstill. It would then hover at that point - in mid-air forever. If air resistance is also removed from the scenario an even stranger thing will happen. The ball will continue in a straight line forever. But, because of the curvature of the earth, the earth's surface will drop away so that the ball will actually fly off into space. One problem with this thought experiment is that the concept of a "straight" line depends on gravity.
It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.
When a body is thrown horizontally with uniform speed, there is no change in the horizontal velocity, so the horizontal component of acceleration is zero. The only acceleration acting on the body is due to gravity in the vertical direction.
The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball thrown horizontally from a window is zero. The ball's initial velocity in the vertical direction is influenced only by the force of gravity, not the horizontal throw.
Horizontally
The rock will have a greater speed when it reaches the ground level compared to the ball thrown horizontally because the rock will be accelerated by gravity as it falls vertically, while the ball thrown horizontally will only have its initial horizontal velocity.
Objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path due to the combination of their initial velocity and the force of gravity acting upon them. Gravity pulls the object downward, causing it to curve towards the ground as it moves horizontally. This curved path is known as a projectile motion.
The curved path of an object thrown or launched on or near the surface of a planet is called a trajectory. This trajectory is influenced by gravity, air resistance, and the initial velocity of the object. The shape of the trajectory can be parabolic for objects thrown horizontally, or elliptical for objects thrown at an angle.
False. Both objects will hit the ground at the same time, regardless of whether one is dropped vertically and the other is thrown horizontally, given that gravity is the only force acting on them.
True. Projectile motion describes the curved path an object follows when thrown or projected near the Earth's surface, under the influence of gravity, while also moving horizontally.
Objects that are thrown follow a curved path due to the influence of gravity and the initial forward velocity given to the object. Gravity pulls the object downward, causing it to accelerate, while the initial forward velocity allows the object to travel horizontally. The combination of these two forces results in the object following a curved trajectory known as a parabola.
