What is Projectile?
Projectile possesses momentum which is the product of mass and velocity
What are the two components of a projectile motion?
The two components of a projectile motion are horizontal and vertical motion.
Describe the horizontal motion of the projectile.
Horizontal motion is always constant
Describe the vertical motion of the projectile.
Vertical motion is uniformly accelerating
Why does projectile moves horizontally?
It moves with constant velocity
Why does projectile moves vertically?
It moves with acceleration due to gravity
Freefall is a…?
Freefall is a projectile
What is speed?
Distance covered in a given amount of time or it tells us how fast an object moves
What is Velocity?
Velocity is speed with the direction of motion/ speed + direction
What is acceleration?
rate of change of velocity
The curve path is due to…?
The curve path is due to the action of gravity while the object is moving horizontally
The vertical velocity at peak of its flight becomes…?
It becomes zero
This was the result of the action of gravity while the object is moving horizontally, what is it?
It’s curve path
This becomes zero when at the peak of its flight of the projectile.
The vertical velocity
How do you describe the concept of acceleration due to gravity (as the object moves upward)?
It remains constant
The higher the angle of projection, the greater is…?
The greater the height
What remains constant if as the objects moves upward?
Acceleration due to gravity
The greater the height, the higher the…?
The higher the angle of projection
On what angle does range increases?
Angle from 0-45 degrees
On what angle does range decreases?
Angle bigger than 45 degrees
How does initial speed affect the height of the projectile?
Subjective
How does initial speed affect the range of the projectile?
Subjective
Describe real life situations of a projectile
