Answer to Question #252904 in Mechanics | Relativity for rabiatul

Question

Explain what happen to the object (tranquilizer) motion when projectile angle is set to 90. Does the object motion still considered as a projectile motion? If the answer is NO, please provide the reason.

 

Answer 1

Yes, the motion is still a projectile motion because the object moves under the influence of gravity. The equations we derive for a body launched at some angle above the horizontal are still applicable for angles like 90°.
