| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| centripetal acceleration | the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion |
| projectile motion | the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity |
| uniform circular motion | moving in a circle at a constant speed |
| two dimensional motion | the movement of an object that occurs simultaneously in two different directions; motion along the vertical and horizontal axes |
| centripetal force | acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving |
| trajectory | the parabolic path a projectile follows that is projected (or fired) horizontally from some height |
| range | he horizontal distance traveled by a projectile from the point of launch to the point where it lands at the same vertical level |
| tangential velocity | linear velocity of an object moving around a circular path at any point |
