Define projectile motion and projectile particle.
(N/A) Projectile motion is the form of motion experienced by an object or particle (a projectile) that is projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only. The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.
$A$ projectile particle is any object that is given an initial velocity and then allowed to move in space under the influence of gravity alone. Examples include a ball thrown in the air,a bullet fired from a gun,or a javelin thrown by an athlete.

View SolutionIn the climax of a movie,the hero jumps from a helicopter and the villain chasing the hero also jumps at the same time from the same level. After some time,when they are at the same horizontal level,the villain fires a bullet horizontally towards the hero. Both the hero and the villain are falling with a constant downward acceleration of $2\ m/s^2$ due to their parachutes. Assuming the hero is within the range of the bullet and air resistance on the bullet is negligible,which of the following is correct?
