Projectile Motion Test

Front

What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?

Back

0 m/s²

Front

At the highest point of a projectile's path, how does its speed compare to points at the same height?

Back

v_Q < v_R = v_P

Front

Does the mass of an object affect the speed at which it falls?

Back

False

Front

Identify the trig ratio to find the unknown side in the triangle: Tan 29° = x/91.

Back

Tan 29° = 91/x

Front

In a projectile motion diagram, which letter represents the vertical displacement \(\overrightarrow{d}_y\)?

Back

A

Front

What is the shape of the path followed by a projectile in motion?

Back

Parabolic path

Front

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile in free fall?

Back

9.8 m/s² downward

Front

What factors affect the range of a projectile?

Back

Initial velocity, launch angle, and height of launch.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

It reduces the range and alters the path.

Front

What is the formula for the range of a projectile launched at an angle?

Back

Range = \(\frac{{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}}{g}\) where v is initial velocity, θ is launch angle, and g is acceleration due to gravity.
