Projectile Motion

Cards (33)

  • Uniformly Accelerated Motion - When an object changes velocity at a constant rate.
  • Acceleration - Change of rate in velocity with time.
  • Projectile - An object moving through the air that's affected by gravity.
  • Trajectory - The path that a projectile follows.
  • Projectile - An object undergoing projectile motion.
  • Trajectory - The parabolic path taken by a projectile.
  • Angle - A numerical value that's measured in degrees. Expressing the orientation of the projectile that will be thrown/projected.
  • Horizontally Launched Projectiles - A projectile that is launched horizontally and then accelerates upwards. It has a projectile and a trajectory.
  • Angle Launched Projectiles - A projectile that has been projected in an angle. It has a projectile, a trajectory, and an angle.
  • Horizontal Motion - Neglects air resistence and is the movement of an object along a horizontal plane.
  • Horizontal Acceleration is 0 (digit)
  • Range - Horizontal distance.
  • Vertical Motion - The force that's acting upon this motion is gravity.
  • Gravity = 9.8m/s^2
  • Vertical Velocity is not constant.
  • Height - Vertical distance.
  • h = d_y
  • Horizontal Velocity - v_x
  • Vertical Velocity - v_y
  • d_y = 1/2a_gt^2
  • t = d_x/v_i
  • v_f = -sqrt(2a_gd_y)
  • Maximum Height - The maximum vertical distance that the projectile can reach.
  • d_y (maximum height reached) = (v_i*sinth)^2/2g
  • Horizontal Displacement (Range) = v_i*costh*t
  • t_T (Time Taken) = (2)v_i*sinth/g
  • To find the height of a vertically projected object, you must have the formula for the vertical distance and the time.
  • To find the final velocity of a vertically projected object, you must have the formula of the final velocity which is -sqrt(2a_gd_y)
  • t_T = Total time
  • g = Gravity
  • Horizontal and vertical displacement refer to the distances traveled by an object in the horizontal and vertical directions.
  • Projectile - A launched/thrown/shot object.
  • Trajectory - The parabolic path taken by a projectile.
