1.

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.
