Motion in two Dimensions

Front

What is the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The maximum height of a projectile is the height at which vertical velocity is 0 m/s.

Front

What is the speed of an airplane flying due North at 150 km/h with a wind blowing at 75 km/h to the East?

Back

The plane's speed relative to the ground is 170 km/h.

Front

What factors affect a projectile's trajectory?

Back

A projectile's trajectory is affected by initial velocity, gravity, and angle of launch.

Front

What is the time it takes for a cannon ball shot at an angle of 67° with an initial velocity of 427 m/s to hit the ground?

Back

The cannon ball hits the ground in 80.2 seconds.

Front

If one ball is dropped and another is thrown horizontally from the same height, which hits the ground first?

Back

Both land at the same time.

Front

Define projectile motion.

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown into the air, affected by gravity and initial velocity.

Front

What is the role of gravity in projectile motion?

Back

Gravity pulls the projectile downward, affecting its vertical motion.

Front

What is the angle of launch?

Back

The angle of launch is the angle at which a projectile is released relative to the horizontal.

Front

What is initial velocity?

Back

Initial velocity is the speed and direction of a projectile at the moment it is launched.

Front

What is the range of a projectile?

Back

The range is the horizontal distance a projectile travels before hitting the ground.
