When a body moves in a plane, its motion in a plane is called motion in _.

Correct answer: B. Two dimension

  • A. One dimension
  • B. Two dimension
  • C. Uniform speed
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Explanation: What Is Projectile Motion? When a particle is thrown obliquely near the earth's surface, it moves along a curved path under constant acceleration directed towards the centre of the earth (we assume that the particle remains close to the earth's surface). The path of such a particle is called a projectile, and the motion is called projectile motion. In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions: Along the x-axis: uniform velocity, responsible for the horizontal (forward) motion of the particle. Along the y-axis: uniform acceleration, responsible for the vertical (downwards) motion of the particle.

About Force and Motion

Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
