Projectile motion

What does the SUVAT symbols stand for?

S = Displacement

U = Initial velocity

V = Final velocity

A = Acceleration (Gravitational strength of -9.81)

T = Time

What are the SUVAT equations?

1. S = UT + 1/2AT²

2. V = U + AT

3. V² = U² + 2AS

4. S = 1/2(U+V)T

What is a parabolic flight path

The trajectory followed by an object in projectile motion, shown by a symmetrical, U-shaped curve

What are the factors affecting projectile motion?

1. Angle of release

2. Height of release

3. Speed of release
