Horizontally Launched Projectile Practice Flashcard

Front

What is the formula to calculate the time a horizontally launched projectile is in the air?

Back

Front

How do you calculate the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile?

Back

Front

What happens to two objects dropped from the same height at the same time, one dropped straight down and the other launched horizontally?

Back

They will hit the ground at the same time.

Front

What is the value of g (acceleration due to gravity) used in projectile motion calculations?

Back

Approximately 9.81 m/s².

Front

If a ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 55 m, how long will it take to hit the ground?

Back

Front

If a water balloon is thrown horizontally at 12 m/s from a height of 30 m, how long will it be in the air?

Back

Front

How far will a water balloon thrown horizontally at 12 m/s from a height of 30 m land from the base of the tower?

Back

Front

What is the horizontal distance traveled by a ball pushed off a counter 1.2 m high at 5 m/s?

Back

Front

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

Back

The time of flight increases with the square root of the height.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on a horizontally launched projectile?

Back

Air resistance slows down the projectile, affecting its horizontal distance.
