Q
Displacement is…
A
the distance between two fixed points and the direction from one and other.
3

13
Q
Trajectory is…
A
the path of any moving object.
14
Q
A projectile is an object…
A
that is given an initial force then allowed to move freely through space.
15
Q
A parabola is a name…
A
given to the shape of the curve, a projectile follows when gravity is the only force acting on it.
