Projective Motion Flashcards
A projective is
Any object moving though the air unassisted (free falling, self-propulsion, ect.)
A trajectory is
The flight path of a projective
What are the three general shapes of a trajectory
l. Vertical trajectory (directly up and down)
2. Oblique trajectory (curved)
3. Horizontal trajectory (higher to lower : in a stright-ish line)
Projectile motion is a form of what type of motion
Linear
Range is
The distance covered by a projectile
Projectile motion often falls under the sub category of
Curvilinear motion
Do horizontal and vertical components of a trajectory affect each other
No they are independent
The vertical component of a projectile is primary affect by
Gravity
What determines the flight time of a projectile
The vertical component
What determines the range (distance traveled) of a projectile
The horizontal component
Apex is
The highest point of the trajectory
At the apex of a projectile what is vertical component at
Zero
At the apex of a projectile what is vertical component at
Zero
VY means
Vertical component
VX means
Horizontal component
