What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

The two components are horizontal motion (constant velocity) and vertical motion (accelerated motion due to gravity).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to the horizontal velocity of a projectile?

Back

The horizontal velocity of a projectile remains constant if air resistance is negligible.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the shape of the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The trajectory of a projectile is a parabola.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

At what point is the vertical velocity of a projectile zero?

Back

The vertical velocity is zero at the peak of its trajectory.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the effect of mass on the acceleration of a falling object?

Back

The acceleration of a falling object is independent of its mass; all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
