Independent motion

• What are the two types of motion described in the study material?

  Vertical and horizontal motion
• How do the two balls in the diagram move?

  One ball is dropped vertically while the other is thrown horizontally
• What is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal motion of the balls?

  The vertical and horizontal motion of the ball are independent of each other
• What happens to both balls at the same time during their motion?

  They are at the same height
• What assumption is made about the motion of the balls in the study material?

  Assuming no air resistance
• What does the diagram illustrate about the motion of the two balls?

  • One ball is dropped vertically
  • The other ball is thrown horizontally
  • Both balls fall at the same rate
  • They reach the same height at the same time
  • Their vertical and horizontal motions are independent
