1
Q

A
how body moves when airborne without considering air resistance
2
Q
how does horizontal and vertical motion different during flight
A
horizontal remain constant
vertical increases gap
3
Q
why isnt vertical motion constant
A
gravity always pulling down whereas horizontal doesn’t causing a parabola
4
Q
what affects projectile motion
A
release height, velocity and height
5
Q

A
if body is moving in a circle and released the release angle is the tangent to the circle
