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 parabola.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?
Back
0 m/s². In projectile motion, there is no horizontal acceleration if air resistance is negligible.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile?
Back
9.8 m/s². This is the acceleration due to gravity acting on the projectile.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the speed of a projectile at its highest point?
Back
The vertical component of the speed is zero at the highest point, but the horizontal component remains constant.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does the speed of a projectile compare at different heights?
Back
For points at the same height, the speed is the same due to conservation of energy.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for the vertical displacement of a projectile?
Back
The formula is: y = v₀t + (1/2)gt², where y is the vertical displacement, v₀ is the initial vertical velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is time.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a ball is thrown straight up, how long does it take to return to the original position?
Back
It takes the same amount of time to return as it took to reach the highest point.
