Quiz #6 Flashcards
Motion of bodies that have been projected into the air
Projectile motion
Understanding _ _ helps in learning to control or predict what happens to an object when in the air
projectile motion
Solid line arcs up and drops below dotted line
Vertical displacement
Solid line goes diagonally down below dotted line
Vertical velocity
Solid line is below dotted line and is parallel
Vertical acceleration
- inanimate
- animate
classes of projectiles
- trajectory (parabola)
- instant of release
- instant of contact
projectile motion definitions
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile
- projection angle
- projection speed
- projection height
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection angle
- 0 degrees indicates a directly _ _
horizontal projection
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection angle
- 90 degrees indicates a directly _ _
vertical projection
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: Projection angle
- Between 0 and 90 degrees trajectory will be _
parabolic
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection speed
Strongly influences the _ and _ of trajectory
height, length
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection speed
- _ _of release (takeoff) determines:
- height achieved after release
- time it takes to reach maximum height
- time it takes to fall back to the release position
- the velocity of the object when it returns to release position
vertical speed
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection speed
- _ _of release (takeoff)
- in the absence of air resistance remains constant until the instant of contact
- along with the time in the air determines horizontal distance (range)
- becomes smaller as the projection angle approaches 90 degrees
- becomes larger as the projection angle approaches 0 degrees
horizontal speed
Factors that influence the trajectory of a projectile: projection height
- difference in vertical height between the instant of release and the instant of contact
- height at instant of release _ height at instant of contact (soccer kick)
