Projectile (2D) Motion (Conceptual)

Front

What is the horizontal acceleration of a projectile?

Back

0 m/s²

Front

If you throw a baseball straight up, what is its acceleration at the highest point?

Back

-10 m/s²

Front

The definition of range is...

Back

the horizontal distance (dx) traveled of a projectile

Front

Will gravity affect the cannonball's horizontal motion?

Back

No

Front

-10 m/s² represents the acceleration experienced in which direction?

Back

Vertically (Y-direction) due to ONLY gravity acting on it

Front

What is the vertical acceleration of a projectile in freefall?

Back

-10 m/s²

Front

What factors affect the range of a projectile?

Back

Initial velocity, launch angle, and height of launch.

Front

What is the trajectory of a projectile?

Back

The path followed by a projectile in motion, typically a parabolic shape.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

It reduces the range and alters the trajectory.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the range of a projectile?

Back

Range = (v² * sin(2θ)) / g, where v is initial velocity, θ is launch angle, and g is acceleration due to gravity.
