Assuming no air resistance

Cards (18)

  • What happens to vertical velocity in projectile motion without air resistance?
    It changes due to the acceleration of free fall.
  • How can vertical displacement and time of flight be determined in projectile motion?
    Using equations of motion.
  • What happens to horizontal velocity in projectile motion without air resistance?
    It remains constant.
  • What are the key characteristics of projectile motion assuming no air resistance?
    • Vertical velocity changes due to free fall acceleration.
    • Vertical displacement and time of flight can be calculated using equations of motion.
    • Horizontal velocity remains constant.
  • What is the horizontal component of motion when it is equal to zero?
    Horizontal competed = 0
  • Why does the horizontal component of motion remain constant?
    Because there is no force acting in the horizontal direction
  • What is the direction of acceleration in free fall?
    Vertical direction
  • What remains constant even though there is acceleration in free fall?
    The horizontal velocity remains constant
  • What can we always measure in relation to motion?
    We can always measure distance
  • What equipment can be used to measure time and distance in experiments?
    Simple lab equipment such as a timer and a ruler
  • What is the relationship between horizontal speed and distance?
    • There is a direct relationship
    • As distance increases, horizontal speed increases
    • No force acts in the horizontal direction
  • How do you calculate the horizontal velocity of a ball?
    By measuring the distance and time
  • What is the formula for calculating distance in horizontal motion?
    The formula is d=d =vt vt, where vv is velocity and tt is time
  • What is the significance of having no force in the horizontal direction?
    It means the horizontal velocity remains constant
  • What should you do to analyze the motion of an object?
    Take some values and plot them into a graph
  • What is the purpose of using a ruler in motion experiments?
    To measure the distance traveled by the object
  • What is the first step in calculating horizontal velocity?
    Measure the distance
  • What does the term "latinsia" refer to in the context of motion?
    It likely refers to the concept of distance or displacement
