Projectile Motion

QuestionAnswer
WHAT IS A PROJECTILE? A projectile is any object that moves through air or space, acted on only by gravity (neglect air resistance).
"A projectile is any object that moves through air or space, acted on only by gravity (neglect air resistance)." who said this? Paul Hewitt (Conceptual Physics)
WHAT IS PROJECTILE MOTION? is a form of motion where an object given an initial velocity is thrown or projected and is allowed to be acted on by gravity in a curved-like path. These objects are called projectiles.
The curved path followed by a projectile is called a ? Trajectory
In Horizontal component motion is? uniform
In Horizontal component Velocity is? is constant because there is no gravitational force that acts horizontally.
In Horizontal component Acceleration is? Zero
In Vertical component motion is? in free- fall.
In Vertical component Velocity is? vertical velocity and position increases with time as those of the free falling body velocity at the peak of the projectile’s flight will be exactly zero.
In Vertical component Acceleration is? Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s/s) downward. Dropped object accelerate downward and covers a greater vertical distance each second.
In Horizontal component Range is? Range depends on the initial velocity. Higher initial velocity, results to higher range
In Vertical component Range is? Dropped object accelerate downward and covers a greater vertical distance each second.
The ball is in BLANK horizontally and moves in BLANK vertically. Constant speed, free fall

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
