Projectile motion

Front

What is the optimal angle for maximum range in projectile motion?

Back

45 degrees.

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal and vertical components.

Front

What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile at its maximum height?

Back

The vertical velocity is zero at maximum height.

Front

How does air resistance affect projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance decreases the range and alters the trajectory.

Front

What is the formula for the maximum height (H) of a projectile?

Back

H = (V^2 * sin^2(θ)) / (2 * g), where V is initial velocity, θ is launch angle, and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the launch angle on the range of a projectile?

Back

Increasing the launch angle increases the height but decreases the range after 45 degrees.

Front

What is the horizontal velocity of a projectile?

Back

The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the motion.

Front

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile in free fall?

Back

The vertical acceleration is equal to -g (approximately -9.81 m/s²).

Front

What is the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The trajectory is a parabolic path.

Front

What is the relationship between time of flight and launch angle?

Back

Time of flight increases with the launch angle up to 90 degrees.
