Projectile Motion

Front

What is the acceleration in the y-component of projectile motion for an object thrown upward?

Back

-9.8 m/s²

Front

In projectile motion, how does the time of flight in the horizontal direction (Tx) compare to the time of flight in the vertical direction (Ty)?

Back

Tx = Ty

Front

What is the relationship between the angle of release and the horizontal range in projectile motion?

Back

The greatest and the least angles of release will result in an equal horizontal range.

Front

How is acceleration defined in physics?

Back

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

Front

Which equation is used to determine the horizontal component of velocity (Vx)?

Back

Vx = Vcosθ

Front

What is the formula for the vertical component of velocity (Vy) in projectile motion?

Back

Vy = Vsinθ

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance decreases the range and alters the trajectory of the projectile.

Front

What is the maximum height in projectile motion?

Back

The maximum height is the peak point of the trajectory where vertical velocity is zero.

Front

What is the range of a projectile?

Back

The range is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile when it returns to the same vertical level.

Front

What factors affect the range of a projectile?

Back

Initial velocity, angle of release, and height of launch.
