Projectile Motion


Newton’s second law of motion is possibly the most elegant and powerful tools in all of physics, for its wide-ranging applicability in our life.

One application of this law is the “Projectile motion”.

Projectile motion definition:

 When an object (projectile) is thrown obliquely near the earth's surface, and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only, form a Projectile motion (trajectory). Projectile motion happens only when there is one force applied at the beginning of the trajectory, after which there is no force in operation apart from gravity

Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, depends on Newton’s second law of motion to create beautiful picture by using projectile motion principles.
