Projectile Motion Test Review

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.

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

The two components of projectile motion are horizontal motion and vertical motion. These components are independent of each other.

What is the acceleration of a projectile in free fall?

Back

Front

What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile at the peak of its trajectory?

Back

At the peak of its trajectory, the vertical velocity of a projectile is 0 m/s.

Front

How does the horizontal component of velocity change during projectile motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula to calculate the time of flight for a projectile launched horizontally?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between the time of flight and the height of a projectile?

Back

Front

What is the range of a projectile?

Back

The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels before landing. It depends on the initial velocity and the angle of launch.

Front

What is the effect of launch angle on the range of a projectile?

Back

The range of a projectile is maximized at a launch angle of 45 degrees, assuming no air resistance.

What is the formula for the maximum height of a projectile?
