Projectile Motion

Front

What is the path followed by a projectile called?

Back

Trajectory

Front

What is the acceleration of a projectile in free fall?

Back

9.8 m/s²

Front

In which direction does the acceleration of a projectile act?

Back

Down

Front

What is the velocity of a projectile at its highest point?

Back

0 m/s

Front

At what angle should a projectile be launched to achieve maximum range in the absence of air resistance?

Back

45°

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal and vertical components.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

It reduces the range and alters the trajectory.

Front

What is the formula for the range of a projectile launched at an angle?

Back

Range = (v² * sin(2θ)) / g, where v is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The highest point reached by the projectile during its motion.

Front

How does the initial velocity affect the range of a projectile?

Back

Higher initial velocity increases the range.
