Projectile Motion

Front

What is the equation used to calculate displacement in the X direction for projectile motion?

Back

Vix × t = Δx

Front

What does Vi represent in projectile motion?

Back

Vi represents the initial velocity of the projectile.

Front

In which type of problems can the range equation be applied?

Back

The range equation can be applied in Flat Surface Projectile Motion.

Front

What is assumed about the initial vertical velocity in horizontal projectile motion?

Back

The initial vertical velocity is assumed to be 0.

Front

What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile at its highest point?

Back

The vertical velocity is zero at the highest point.

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

Air resistance can affect the range and trajectory of the projectile.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the range of a projectile?

Back

Range = (Vi^2 * sin(2θ)) / g, where θ is the launch angle and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is the significance of the launch angle in projectile motion?

Back

The launch angle determines the trajectory and range of the projectile.

Front

How does gravity affect the vertical motion of a projectile?

Back

Gravity causes the vertical velocity to decrease until the highest point is reached, then increases the downward velocity.
