Projectile Motion Test

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 are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Back

The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s² downward.

Front

If two objects are dropped from the same height, how do their times to hit the ground compare?

Back

They both hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their horizontal velocities.

Front

What is the significance of the angle of launch in projectile motion?

Back

The angle of launch affects the range and maximum height of the projectile. A 45-degree angle gives the maximum range.

Front

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

Back

The vertical velocity of a projectile is 0 m/s at its highest point.
