M5 Topic 1: Projectile motion

Question 1

List all SUVAT equations (3)

Answer 1

s = ut + 1/2 at²
v = u +at
v² =u² + 2as

Question 2

what components is projectile motion made up off (2)

Answer 2

vertical component (Y)
horizontal component (X)

Question 3

what SUVAT vertical component (y) values can you find automatically on a full parabolic path

Answer 3

Sᵧ = 0m
Uᵧ = ? m/s
Vᵧ = ? m/s
Aᵧ = -9.8m/s/s
T = ? s

Question 4

what SUVAT Horizontal component (x) values can you find automatically on a full parabolic path

Answer 4

Sₓ = ?m
Uₓ = cosΘ x v m/s
Vₓ =  cosΘ x v m/s
Aₓ = 0m/s
T =?s

Question 5

what are the other rules with projectile motion (5)

Answer 5

t up = t down
Vᵧ up = -Vᵧ Down
Aᵧ & Vᵧ at peak = 0
Vₓ is constant no horizontal force (ignore air resistance)
t is common to both the x and y component

Question 6

What did Galileo’s analysis state (2)

Answer 6

• All projectiles move in parabolic paths
• The horizontal & Vertical components of the
  projectiles motion are independent of one another
