Projectile motion Flashcards
1

is any object launched, hurtled or thrown. Path of projectile is called trajectory.
2
Q
What 3 factors affect projectile motion?
A
- angle of release
- height of release
- velocity (speed) of release
3
Q
How does speed of release affect projectile motion?
A
the more force applied, the greater speed it will travel.
4
Q
How does angle of release affect projectile motion?
A
there is an optimal angle of release dependant on sport skill, minimise the effect of gravity and air resistance.
5
Q
how does heigh of release affect projectile motion?
A
if angle and speed of release are constant, object released from hgiher will travel further compare to released from lower.
