On The Move Flashcards
1
Q
What is a projectile
A
Any object where three key principles apply
1the acceleration of the object is always g and acceleration only affects the vertical momentum of the object
2 the horizontal velocity of the object is constant because there is no acceleration
3 the motions of the vertical and horizontal directions are independent
2
Q
What are the two equations for vertical projection
A
V=u-gt
Y= ut-1/2gt^2
3
Q
what is the area under a speed time graph
A
distance travelled by an object
4
Q
what is the gradient of a velocity time graph
A
acceleration
5
Q
what is the area under a velocity time graph
A
displacement of the object from it’s starting position
