Projectile Motion 3 Weeks Test Review

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.

Front

What factors affect the time an object is in the air during projectile motion?

Back

The angle of launch and the initial velocity of the object affect the time it spends in the air.

Front

At what angle does a projectile achieve maximum range?

Back

A projectile achieves maximum range when launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

Front

What happens to the horizontal velocity of a projectile during its flight?

Back

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged throughout the flight, assuming no air resistance.

Front

What is the vertical velocity of a projectile at its highest point?

Back

The vertical velocity of a projectile at its highest point is zero.

Front

How does mass affect the fall of a projectile?

Back

Mass does not affect the rate at which an object falls in a vacuum; all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Front

What is the acceleration of a projectile during its flight?

Back

The acceleration of a projectile during its flight is constant and equal to the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² downward).

Front

What is the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The trajectory of a projectile is the curved path it follows while moving through the air.

Front

What role does gravity play in projectile motion?

Back

Gravity pulls the projectile downward, affecting its vertical motion and causing it to follow a parabolic path.

Front

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion in projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal motion is uniform (constant velocity), while vertical motion is influenced by gravity (accelerated motion).
