Projectile Motion

Question 1

Projectile Motion Definition

Answer 1

The motion of an object/body being “projected into the air at an angle

Question 2

3 Main Porjecitle Motion Factors

Answer 2

The angle of Release, Speed of Release, the height of Release

Question 3

Angle of Release

Answer 3

To achieve maximum horizontal distance the angle of the projectile is important

• The optimum angle of release is dependant upon landing height and release height
• When both the release height and landing height are equal then optimum angle of release is= 45`

Question 4

Speed of Release

Answer 4

• greater speed of release=Gretater horizontal distance traveled

Question 5

Height of Release

Answer 5

• Release height is greater than landing height= optimum aor= 45 degrees
• Release height below landing height= optimum angle of release= greater than 45
