Projectile Motion

Front

What is the shape of the path a projectile follows?

Back

Parabolic.

Front

What is the only force that affects the motion of a projectile once it is launched?

Back

Gravity.

Front

In projectile motion, how many components are there?

Back

Two components (horizontal and vertical).

Front

If a ball is thrown horizontally at a height of 2.2 meters at a velocity of 65 m/s, how far will it travel horizontally when it hits the ground?

Back

43.55 meters.

Front

What does it indicate when an apple and a watermelon are dropped simultaneously from the same height and hit the ground at the same time?

Back

Acceleration is independent of mass.

Front

What is the term for the vertical motion of a projectile under the influence of gravity?

Back

Free fall.

Front

What is the horizontal component of a projectile's motion?

Back

It remains constant throughout the flight.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

It can alter the path and distance traveled by the projectile.

Front

What is the formula for the range of a projectile launched at an angle?

Back

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

Front

What is the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The highest point in its trajectory, reached when the vertical component of velocity is zero.
