Projectile Motion with Air Resistance and Launch Parameters

Question-and-answer flashcards based on notes about calculating projectile trajectories with air resistance.

What factors determine the landing point of a shell in projectile motion according to the notes?

The shell's weight, the initial velocity, the launch angle, and the air resistance.

Why might you adjust the launch angle in projectile motion as mentioned in the notes?

Because you know the initial velocity of the projectile, so adjusting the angle helps account for that velocity.

What can you calculate if you know the initial velocity, launch angle, and air resistance?

The exact landing location of the shell.

What key inputs are cited for calculating the trajectory of a projectile?

The weight of the shell, the initial velocity, the launch angle, and the air resistance.
