Understanding Horizontal Projectile Motion

Front

What is horizontal projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is launched horizontally from a certain height and is influenced only by gravity in the vertical direction. The horizontal motion is uniform, while the vertical motion is accelerated due to gravity.

Front

How does height affect the time a projectile is in the air?

Back

The time a projectile is in the air increases with height. A higher launch height results in a longer time of flight, as it takes longer for the object to fall to the ground.

What is the relationship between horizontal velocity and range in projectile motion?

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on horizontal projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance can slow down the horizontal motion of a projectile, reducing its range and altering its trajectory. In ideal conditions, air resistance is often neglected.

Front

What is the initial velocity in horizontal projectile motion?

Back

The initial velocity in horizontal projectile motion is the speed at which the object is launched horizontally. It remains constant throughout the motion, as there are no horizontal forces acting on it.
