• angle of release

Question 3

free body diagrams

Answer 3

weight

air resistance

Question 4

parallelogram of forces

Answer 4

method to show the size and direction of resultant force acting on a body

Question 5

parabolic curve

Answer 5

a uniform curve that is symmetrical about its highest point

Question 6

non parabolic

Answer 6

a curve that is not symmetrical about its highest point

Question 7

Bernouli’s principle

Answer 7

faster fluid flows the less pressure they exert. The slower the fluid flows the more pressure they exert creating a lift force

Question 8

aerofoil

Answer 8

a streamlined structure with at least one curved surface

they can be symmetrical or asymmetrical

Question 9

above projectile

Answer 9

air travels further and faster

creates low pressure

Question 10

below projectile

Answer 10

air travels less far and slower

creates high pressure
