Projectile Motion 4.3 Flashcards
1
Q
What are the factors affecting horizontal displacement of a projectile?
A
Angle of release
Velocity of release
Height of release
2
Q
Describe the velocity of release
A
An increase in velocity will increase horizontal displacement
3
Q
Describe the angle of release
A
It’s dependent upon height of release and landing
4
Q
Describe the height of release
A
Increase in release height will increase horizontal displacement
Taller shot putter more adv they will have
Force of gravity is constantly acting on mass of an object, so higher release, greater horizontal displacement
