CP Ch06.4 Projectile Motion

What type of motion does a projectile exhibit horizontally and vertically?

• Uniform motion

• Decelerated motion

• Constant motion

• Accelerated motion

What is an example of a projectile?

• Car

• Boat

• Stone

• Plane

What are the two main components that contribute to the curved path of a projectile?

• Constant vertical motion and accelerated horizontal motion

• Constant horizontal motion and decelerated vertical motion

• Constant horizontal motion and accelerated vertical motion

• Constant vertical motion and decelerated horizontal motion

Why does the curved path of a projectile form a parabola?

• Due to air resistance

• Due to magnetic forces

• Due to friction

• Due to gravity

What is the reason for the constant motion of a stone thrown horizontally?

• Gravity pulling the stone down

• Friction with the air

• Magnetic forces

• Centripetal force

What happens to the distance of fall as the average speed of fall increases each second?

• It decreases

• It remains constant

• It fluctuates

• It increases

What is the speed gained by a falling stone each second due to gravity?

• 5 m/s

• 10 m/s

• 15 m/s

• 20 m/s
