FAQs on DC Pandey Solutions: Projectile Motion- 3 - DC Pandey Solutions for JEE Physics

1. What is projectile motion?
Ans. Projectile motion is a type of motion where an object is thrown or projected into the air, and it follows a curved path due to gravity. The motion of an object in projectile motion can be described by its initial velocity, angle of projection, and the force of gravity acting on it.
2. How do you calculate the maximum height of a projectile?
Ans. To calculate the maximum height of a projectile, we can use the formula Hmax = (u^2 * sin^2θ) / 2g, where u is the initial velocity of the projectile, θ is the angle of projection, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
3. What is the range of a projectile?
Ans. The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground. It can be calculated using the formula R = (u^2 * sin2θ) / g, where u is the initial velocity of the projectile, θ is the angle of projection, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
4. What happens if the angle of projection is 90 degrees?
Ans. If the angle of projection is 90 degrees, the projectile will travel in a purely vertical direction, and its range will be zero. The maximum height of the projectile can be calculated using the formula Hmax = (u^2) / 2g, where u is the initial velocity of the projectile, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
5. How can projectile motion be applied in real life?
Ans. Projectile motion has many real-life applications, such as in sports like basketball, football, and baseball. It is also used in military applications, such as calculating the trajectory of missiles and bombs. Additionally, it is used in engineering design, such as in the design of roller coasters and amusement park rides.
