Q

projectile motion: The shape is usually called the ———, this varies (wideness or steepness of the angle) depending on the angle that the object is launched.

true or false

A

false

33
Q

1: at the end of the parabola, the maximum height or the vertical displacement can be observed.

2: when the object reaches max height, the velocity will be equal to 0. When the object’s velocity hits 0, that’s when it begins to go back down again.

true false
both false
false true

A

false, true

Halfway through the parabola, the maximum height or the vertical displacement can be observed (hmax).
