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 are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

The two components are horizontal motion (constant velocity) and vertical motion (accelerated due to gravity).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of the projectile, reducing its range and altering its trajectory.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the range of a projectile?

Back

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

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does the launch angle affect the range of a projectile?

Back

The range is maximized at a launch angle of 45 degrees. Angles less than or greater than 45 degrees result in a shorter range.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The maximum height (H) can be calculated using H = (v^2 * sin^2(θ)) / (2g).

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the horizontal velocity of a projectile?

Back

The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the motion, assuming no air resistance.
