A projectile is any object that is thrown, shot, or launched into the air, and that moves along a ballistic trajectory. Projectiles are subject to the force of gravity, which causes them to follow a curved path known as a parabola. The motion of a projectile can be described by its initial velocity, angle of…
Cartesian coordinates are a system of describing the position of a point in space using three numbers, typically denoted as (x, y, z). The x-coordinate represents the distance from the point to the yz-plane (a plane perpendicular to the x-axis), the y-coordinate represents the distance from the point to the xz-plane (a plane perpendicular to…
Two dimensions refer to a two-dimensional space, which is a flat plane that has two axes, usually referred to as the x-axis and the y-axis. These axes are perpendicular to each other and intersect at a point called the origin. In a two-dimensional space, any point can be located using a set of coordinates that…
Kinematics in one dimension refers to the study of motion of an object in a straight line. It involves analyzing the position, velocity, acceleration, and time of an object as it moves along a single axis. Kinematics is an important branch of physics that forms the basis of many other fields, such as mechanics and…
