What is a projectile?

An object thrown with an initial velocity and acted upon by the earth’s pull of gravity.

What is the path called that a projectile follows?

Trajectory.

What are the two types of projectile motion?

Horizontal Projection and Angular Projection.

What is the horizontal motion of a projectile characterized by?

Constant horizontal velocity.

What happens to the vertical velocity of a projectile over time?

It changes due to the force of gravity.

What type of motion does the two-dimensional motion of an object consist of?

Vertical and Horizontal.

What factors affect projectile motion?

Angle and Initial Velocity.

What is the impulse-momentum relationship?

Impulse is equal to the change in momentum.

What is the formula for linear momentum?

P = mv.

What does the term 'Impulse' refer to?

The product of force and the time during which the force acts.

What is the unit of impulse?

N*s or kg m/s.

What does a projectile describe in terms of its motion?

It continues to move due to its own inertia.

How is momentum defined?

It is the product of an object's mass and velocity.
