FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is projectile motion?

Back

Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object or particle that is thrown near the earth's surface and moves along a curved path under the action of gravity and its initial velocity.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

The two components of projectile motion are horizontal motion and vertical motion. Horizontal motion is uniform, while vertical motion is influenced by gravity.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the time of flight of a projectile?

Back

The time of flight (T) can be calculated using the formula: T = (2 * V₀ * sin(θ)) / g, where V₀ is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the vertical component of velocity at maximum height?

Back

At maximum height, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the horizontal component of velocity in projectile motion?

Back

The horizontal component of velocity remains constant throughout the projectile's flight, as there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance).

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

The maximum height (H) can be calculated using the formula: H = (V₀² * (sin(θ))²) / (2g), where V₀ is the initial velocity, θ is the launch angle, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the range of a projectile?

Back

The range is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile and can be calculated using the formula: R = (V₀² * sin(2θ)) / g.
