What two factors affect projectile motion? a) distance and angle b) distance and amplitude c) initial velocity and angle d) initial velocity and amplitude

C) Initial velocity and angle

Explanation:

The path of the projectile motion is a parabolic path. The motion of a projectile motion is studied by splitting the motion into 2 mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal x axis and other vertical y axis.

The position of the projectile at any time is given as:

Where,

From the above equations, we conclude that,

The projectile motion depends on two factors:

i. Initial velocity ()

ii. Angle of projection ()

Option C is correct.
