1
Q
Projectile
A
and object in freefall
2
Q
Freefall
A
when the only force is downward gravity ??
3
Q
Projectile Motion
A
Parabola shape.
Two objects cover the same vertical distance under constant downward acceleration regardless of horizontal motion.
(Air resistance is negligible until 100ms-2)
4
Q
Newton’s first law
A
When resultant force = 0, velocity is constant/ acceleration = 0.
5
Q
Newton’s second law
A
Acceleration of object is proportional to resultant force acting on it (F=ma)
6
Q
vector velocity split into horixontal and vertical
