Vertical Motion Assignment

Front

What is vertical motion?

Back

Vertical motion refers to the movement of an object in the vertical direction, influenced by forces such as gravity. It can be described using equations of motion that account for initial velocity, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

What is the formula for the height of an object in vertical motion?

Back

Front

What does the term 'initial height' mean in vertical motion problems?

Back

Initial height refers to the height from which an object is released or thrown. It is the starting point in the vertical motion equation.

Front

How does gravity affect vertical motion?

Back

Gravity accelerates objects downward at a rate of approximately 32 feet per second squared (or 9.8 meters per second squared). This acceleration affects the object's velocity and height over time.

What is the significance of the vertex in a quadratic function modeling vertical motion?

Back

The vertex of a quadratic function represents the maximum or minimum height of the object in vertical motion, depending on the orientation of the parabola.

How do you find the time it takes for an object to hit the ground?

Front

What is the relationship between time and height in vertical motion?

Back

In vertical motion, height decreases over time due to the effect of gravity, leading to a parabolic trajectory when graphed.

Front

What is the formula for the derivative of the height function in vertical motion?

Front

What does the term 'initial velocity' refer to in vertical motion?

Back

Initial velocity is the speed at which an object is thrown or dropped at the beginning of its motion. It influences how high the object will rise before falling.
