FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a horizontally launched projectile?

Back

A projectile that is launched with an initial horizontal velocity and is subject to gravitational acceleration, resulting in a parabolic trajectory.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the effect of gravity on a horizontally launched projectile?

Back

Gravity only affects the vertical motion of the projectile, causing it to accelerate downwards at 9.8 m/s².

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

Time of flight (t) can be calculated using the formula t = √(2h/g), where h is the height and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does the horizontal velocity of a projectile change during its flight?

Back

The horizontal velocity remains constant throughout the flight, as there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile (ignoring air resistance).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between vertical distance and time for a falling object?

Back

The vertical distance (d) fallen can be calculated using the formula d = 0.5gt², where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The initial vertical velocity is zero for a horizontally launched projectile, meaning it starts falling from rest.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine the final vertical velocity of a projectile just before it hits the ground?

Back

The final vertical velocity can be determined using the formula v = gt, where g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time of fall.
