Projectile Motion

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

The two components of projectile motion are horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components.

Front

What does it mean that acceleration is independent of mass in projectile motion?

Back

It means that all objects, regardless of their mass, experience the same acceleration due to gravity when in free fall.

Front

How far does a ball travel horizontally when thrown horizontally at a height of 2.2 meters with a velocity of 65 m/s?

Back

43.55 m.

Front

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile when neglecting air resistance?

Back

9.8 m/s².

Front

What is the only force that affects the motion of a projectile after it is launched?

Back

Gravity.

Front

Define 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.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of the projectile, reducing its range and altering its trajectory.

Front

How does the launch angle affect the range of a projectile?

Back

The optimal launch angle for maximum range is 45 degrees.

Front

What is the time of flight for a projectile launched vertically?

Back

Time of flight = (2 * v * sin(θ)) / g, where v is the initial velocity and θ is the launch angle.
