Projectile Motion Review

Gravity accelerates projectiles as they move through the air.

• agree

• disagree

Projectiles have zero vertical acceleration.

• agree

• disagree

Answer explanation

they do not have horizontal acceleration

The range of a projectile is its change in vertical height.

• agree

• disagree

A projectile launched up into the air has its lowest speed at the top of its path.

• agree

• disagree

The trajectory of a projectile is the path it travels.

• agree

• disagree

Projectiles accelerate horizontally at the rate of gravity.

• agree

• disagree

Answer explanation

projectiles accelerate vertically

The range of a projectile can be determined using the horizontal component of the projectile’s initial velocity.
