Flying Projectiles!

Front

What is the shape of the path of any projectile?

Back

Parabolic

Front

The path that an object follows as it moves through space only under the influence of gravity (neglecting air drag) is called a

Back

trajectory

Front

What is the magnitude of the projectile's initial velocity if it is launched with vertical and horizontal velocities shown in a graph?

Back

18 m/s

Front

How is horizontal velocity calculated for a projectile fired at an angle?

Back

V cos Θ

Front

An object is projected horizontally from a cliff. The time it takes to hit the ground is

Back

the same amount of time than if it was just dropped

Front

What is the term for the maximum height reached by a projectile?

Back

apex

Front

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

Back

Range = (V^2 * sin(2Θ)) / g

Front

What does 'g' represent in projectile motion equations?

Back

Acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s²

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on a projectile's motion?

Back

It reduces the range and alters the trajectory.

Front

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal motion in projectile motion?

Back

Vertical motion is influenced by gravity; horizontal motion is constant.
