Projectile Motion Quiz

What does Newton's first law state?

• An object maintains a constant velocity unless acted upon by force.

• An object accelerates when a force is applied.

• An object moves in a circular path when in motion.

• An object always comes to rest after moving.

What is the angle of projection called when a projectile is thrown?

• Horizontal Launch Angle

• Vertical Projection Angle

• Trajectory Angle

• Optimum Projectile Angle

What is the time of flight in projectile motion dependent on?

• Vertical displacement of the projectile

• Maximum height attained by the projectile

• Horizontal distance covered during the time of flight

• Initial velocity magnitude and the angle of the projectile

In a projectile motion problem, what remains constant in the horizontal direction?

• Horizontal velocity

• Vertical velocity

• Acceleration due to gravity

• Time of flight

What is the maximum height attained by a projectile when its vertical velocity is zero?

• u^2 sin^2(theta) / (2g)

• u^2 cos^2(theta) / (2g)

• u^2 sin(theta) / g

• u^2 cos(theta) / g

How does gravity affect the trajectory of a projectile?

• Forces projectiles to travel in a parabolic path

• Causes the projectile to move in a straight line

• Increases the horizontal velocity of the projectile

• Reduces the range of the projectile

What is the horizontal displacement equation for a projectile motion?

• x = vix + axt

• x = vixt + 1/2 axt^2

• x = vix^2 + 2axx

• x = vixt

In a projectile motion problem, what is the initial horizontal speed of the particle?

• usin^2(theta)

• ucos^2(theta)

• usin(theta)

• ucos(theta)

What is the range of a projectile motion?

• Initial horizontal speed of the particle

• Maximum height reached by the projectile

• Vertical displacement of the projectile

• Total horizontal distance covered during the time of flight

What is the vertical displacement equation for a projectile motion?

• y = viyt

• y = viy^2 + 2ayy

• y = viy + ayt

• y = viyt + 1/2 ayt^2
