A stone is thrown verticallyupwards and then it returns to the thrower. Is it a projectile ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is not a projectile, because a projectile should have two component velocities in two mutually perpendicular directions, but in this case the stone has velocity only in one direction wile going up or coming downwards.
