Horizontal Projectile Motion

Front

What is the horizontal velocity of a projectile dropped from a moving object compared to the velocity of the moving object?

Back

The same.

Front

Which component of projectile motion remains constant?

Back

The horizontal component remains constant while the vertical component changes.

Front

What is the term for the path followed by a projectile?

Back

Trajectory.

Front

What does it indicate when an apple and a watermelon are dropped simultaneously from the same height and hit the ground at the same time?

Back

Acceleration is independent of mass.

Front

What shape does the path of a projectile follow?

Back

Parabolic.

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal and vertical components.

Front

How does air resistance affect projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance can slow down the projectile and alter its trajectory.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on a projectile's vertical motion?

Back

Gravity causes the vertical component of motion to accelerate downwards at 9.81 m/s².

Front

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

Back

0 m/s.

Front

How does the range of a projectile change with launch angle?

Back

The range is maximized at a launch angle of 45 degrees.
