acceleration for objects in free fall
g, always -9.8 m/s^2 downward TTC of the earth, acceleration for object in free fall when there is no other interaction between object and earth
if height of drop is doubled then the time in air will be ___ the original time
square root of 2
if height of drop is doubled then the velocity is ____
square root of 2V
horizontally launched objects
-horiz and vertical motion are independent
-time is the common link between them
-velocity in the c direction is constant
-y velocity increases, in free fall (a=g)
if velocity is negative and acceleration is positive, motion
slows down
if both velocity and acceleration are positive, motion
speeds up
why does a small angle have a small range
the horizontal component of the velocity is large but the time in air is small
why does a too big angle make a small range
the horizontal component of the velocity is very small and the time in air is large
complementary angles have the same range
like 25 and 65, 20 and 70
