FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is projectile motion?

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is thrown into the air and is subject to the force of gravity. It follows a curved path called a trajectory.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile?

Back

9.8 m/s², due to the force of gravity.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the distance between drops of water falling from a faucet?

Back

As the drops fall, they get farther apart due to the acceleration of gravity.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If two objects of different masses are dropped from the same height, which hits the ground first?

Back

Both objects hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their mass.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the initial vertical velocity of a ball projected horizontally?

Back

0 m/s, as it has no vertical motion at the moment of projection.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a crayon is thrown straight up at 12 m/s, what is its speed when caught at the same height?

Back

12 m/s, as it returns to the same height with the same speed.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the range of a projectile?

Back

Range = (initial velocity² * sin(2θ)) / g, where θ is the launch angle and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
