projectile motion

Question 1

projectile motion

Answer 1

movement of eithr obejct or human body travelling through air

Question 2

what factors influence horizontal displacemnt of projectile

Answer 2

height of release
angle of release
speed of release

Question 3

angle of release

Answer 3

optimum angle of release is dependent of release height and landing height
when release height and angle height are equal, optimum angle of release is 45
e.g long jumper

release height is below landing height then optimal ngle of release is above 45 degrees e.g basketballer

release height is above landing height tehn optmimal angle of release is below 45 e.g shot put

Question 4

speed of release

Answer 4

the greater the release velocity of a projectile, tjhe greater the horiontal displacement travelled

Question 5

height of release

Answer 5

greater the release height, results in increase in horizotnal displacement

Question 6

what are the two factors affecting the flight oath of projectiles

Answer 6

weight and air resistance
cruical in decideing whether a projectile has a flight path which is true parabloa or distorted parabola

projectiles with large weight force and small air resistance follows true parbaolci flight path
e.g shot put has large mass

porjectiles with lighter mas, the effects of air resiatnce results in a flight path which dveiates from a true parabola to a distored parabola e.g shuttlecock
