Q

how do you calculate displacment?

A

s = vt
displacment = velocity x time

17
Q

how do you calculate average velocity?

A

ave. vel. = s/t
average velocity = displacment/time

18
Q

when does projectile motion occur?

A

when an object has both a constant horizontal velocity and a constant vertical acceleration

19
Q

how do you calculate horizontal velocity?

A

v = dt
velocity = distance x time

20
Q

how do you calculate vertical velocity?

A

v = u + at
velocity = initial v. + accel. x time

21
Q

what is horizontal motion?

A

motion that goes at a constant velocity

22
Q

how do you calculate horizontal distance?

A

Dh = Vh x t
horizontal distance =
horizontal vel. x time

23
Q

what is vertical motion?

A

motion with a constant acceleration/increasing velocity

24
Q

how do you calculate vertical distance?

A

measuring area under a speed/time graph

or

distance(height) = ave. speed x time

25
what is newton's first law of motion?
an object will remain at rest or going at the same speed/direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force
26
what is newton's second law of motion?
if mass remains constant, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the unbalanced force applied
27
what is newton's third law of motion?
every action has an equal opposite reaction
28
what is terminal velocity?
the velocity something travels at when the forces acting on it are balanced
29
what are balanced forces?
equal forces going in opposite directions
30
how do you calculate unbalanced forces?
F = ma force = mass x acceleration
