FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is projectile motion?

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is thrown into the air and is subject to the force of gravity. It follows a curved path called a trajectory.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s² near the surface of the Earth.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the vertical velocity of a projectile at time t?

Back

The vertical velocity V_y at time t is given by V_y = V_0y - gt, where V_0y is the initial vertical velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the optimal angle for maximum range in projectile motion?

Back

The optimal angle for maximum range in projectile motion, in the absence of air resistance, is 45°.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does air resistance affect projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of the projectile, reducing its range and altering its trajectory compared to motion in a vacuum.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the horizontal component of velocity in projectile motion?

Back

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the motion, as there is no horizontal acceleration in ideal conditions.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the maximum height in projectile motion?

Back

The maximum height is the highest point reached by the projectile, where the vertical velocity is zero.
