ON SOME ISSUES OF GEOMETRIC CONSIDERATION OF BALLISTIC MOTION OF A BODY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the vector (geometric) method for describing the motion of a body thrown at an angle to the horizon (ballistic motion). Currently, there are two methods for solving tasks on the kinematics motion of a body thrown at an angle to the horizon: coordinate and vector. This work considers the development of the vector method on the example of a number of learning tasks of varying complexity. First, auxiliary notions and formulas are considered, after which five remarks on vector relationships are formulated, presented in the velocity diagram, then theorems on geometry are given, which are used in solving the tasks under this consideration. Tasks of varying complexity and their geometric solutions are considered. At the end of the article, the significance of the proposed method is summarized and an appropriate conclusion is made.
