Flying Projectiles!

Front

What is the vertical component of a projectile's velocity when launched at an angle?

Back

The vertical component can be calculated using the formula: V_vertical = V_initial * sin(θ), where θ is the launch angle.

Front

What is the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity when launched at an angle?

Back

The horizontal component can be calculated using the formula: V_horizontal = V_initial * cos(θ), where θ is the launch angle.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance slows down the projectile, affecting its range and time of flight.

Front

What is the time of flight for a projectile launched horizontally from a height?

Back

The time of flight is determined solely by the height from which it is launched and is the same as if it were dropped.

Front

What is the initial vertical velocity of a projectile launched horizontally?

Back

0 m/s.

Front

How does gravity affect the vertical motion of a projectile?

Back

Gravity causes the vertical velocity to change at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s² downward.

Front

What is the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The path followed by a projectile is a parabola under the influence of gravity.

Front

What is the range of a projectile?

Back

The range is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile before it hits the ground.

Front

How do you calculate the range of a projectile launched at an angle?

Back

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

Front

What is the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The maximum height can be calculated using the formula: H_max = (V_vertical^2) / (2g).
