FLASHCARD
Front
What is horizontal projectile motion?
Back
Horizontal projectile motion refers to the motion of an object that is launched horizontally and then moves under the influence of gravity, following a curved trajectory until it hits the ground.
2.
FLASHCARD
Front
What happens to the vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile?
Back
The vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile increases due to the acceleration of gravity as it falls.
3.
FLASHCARD
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.
4.
FLASHCARD
Front
What is a projectile?
Back
A projectile is any object that is thrown, dropped, fired, or otherwise propelled and is subject to the force of gravity.
5.
FLASHCARD
Front
What is the relationship between initial and final horizontal velocity in projectile motion?
Back
The initial horizontal velocity of a projectile is equal to its final horizontal velocity, assuming no air resistance.
6.
FLASHCARD
Front
What does it mean that acceleration is independent of mass in projectile motion?
Back
It means that all objects, regardless of their mass, experience the same acceleration due to gravity when falling.
7.
FLASHCARD
Front
What is the effect of air resistance on horizontal projectile motion?
Back
Air resistance can slow down the horizontal motion of a projectile, but it does not affect the vertical motion due to gravity.
8.
FLASHCARD
Front
How does the angle of launch affect the trajectory of a projectile?
Back
In horizontal projectile motion, the launch angle is 0 degrees, resulting in a purely horizontal trajectory until gravity pulls it down.
9.
FLASHCARD
Front
What is the formula for the time of flight of a projectile launched horizontally?
Back
The time of flight can be calculated using the formula: t = √(2h/g), where h is the height and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
10.
FLASHCARD
Front
What is the range of a projectile?
Back
The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground.
