Uniformly Accelerated Motion Flashcards
Acceleration must be constant for these equations to work true or false
True
acceleration is zero
No horizontal forces (ignoring air resistance, of course)
•Therefore, horizontal velocity does not change
Horizontal
acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = –9.8 m/s2)
Vertical
A constant attractive force (Newton’s Law of Gravitation)
Vertical
person falls from a wall while rock climbing.
We can predict their motion by using the
previous equations.
Vertical Projectiles
Center of mass (CM) of projectile will travel in a_____, regardless of the motion of the individual body segments.
parabolic path
Vertical velocity at the peak of the projectile’s flight will be exactly
Zero
velocity is constant (ignoring air resistance)
Horizontal
