CW: Solving Horizontal Projectile Problems

What defines a horizontally launched projectile?

• An object launched with an initial vertical velocity.

• An object launched with an initial horizontal velocity and no initial vertical component.

• An object launched at an angle to the horizontal.

• An object that only moves horizontally.

How does the horizontal motion of a projectile relate to its vertical motion?

• They are directly dependent on each other.

• They influence each other's acceleration.

• They are completely independent of each other.

• Horizontal motion affects vertical displacement, but not velocity.

What happens to the horizontal velocity of a horizontally launched projectile after it leaves the cliff, assuming no air resistance?

• It continuously increases.

• It continuously decreases.

• It remains constant.

• It first increases, then decreases.

What is the initial vertical velocity of a projectile launched horizontally?

• 0 m/s

• Equal to the initial horizontal velocity

• -9.8 m/s

• Dependent on the launch height

How does the time taken for horizontal motion compare to the time taken for vertical motion in a projectile problem?

• Horizontal time is always greater

• Vertical time is always greater

• They are always the same

• They are unrelated

What is the acceleration in the horizontal direction for a projectile launched horizontally, assuming no air resistance?

• 9.8 m/s²

• -9.8 m/s²

• 0 m/s²

• Equal to the initial horizontal velocity

What is the horizontal distance covered by the cliff diver?

• 5 meters

• 30 meters

• 12.4 meters

• 2.47 meters
