Physics Q2 Flashcards
an object subject only to the force of gravity
projectile
it is the gravitational force acting on a projectile
weight
3 ways an object can be subject to projectile motion
- thrown vertically upward
- thrown at a angle form the horizontal
- thrown from a height
it is the maximum horizontal displacement
range
when the object is at its maximum height what variable decreases to 0?
vertical velocity
is there acceleration along the horizontal?
no
is there acceleration along the vertical?
yes
path followed by the projectile
trajectory
the velocity with which the body is projected
velocity of projection
the angle between the direction of projection and the horizontal plane passing through
angle of projection
the maximum vertical displacement of the projectile
maximum height
the time taken by the projectile to travel from the instant of projection
time of flighm
