Projectile Motion

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

Front

What is true about projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal motion and vertical motion of the projectiles are independent but simultaneous.

Front

What is the relationship between horizontal velocities (Vx) in projectile motion?

Back

In projectile motion, the horizontal velocities (Vx) are constant, meaning A = B = C.

Front

What is the acceleration in the x-component of projectile motion?

Back

The acceleration in the x-component of projectile motion is 0 m/s².

Front

Where is V_y the highest in projectile motion?

Back

V_y is the highest at point C.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the range of a projectile?

Back

Range = (V₀² * sin(2θ)) / g, where V₀ is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What factors affect the time of flight of a projectile?

Back

The time of flight is affected by the initial velocity and the launch angle.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance affects the motion of projectiles by reducing their range and altering their trajectory.

Front

What is the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The trajectory of a projectile is a parabolic path due to the influence of gravity.

Front

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal motion in projectile motion?

Back

Vertical motion is influenced by gravity, while horizontal motion is constant and not affected by gravity.
