Projectile

Projectile

________: object in free fall, but it isnt falling in a straight vertical line.

Displacement

________ (Δx): how far the object ends up away from its starting point, regardless of any motion in between starting and ending positions.

Free fall

________: No forces other than the objects weight are acting on the object.

velocity time graph

In a(n) ________, the objects speed is read from the vertical axis.

direction of motion

The ________ is indicated by the sign on the vertical axis.

Terminal speed

________: after a long time, the objects speed becomes constant.

motion detector

The ________ can read the location of the cart up to 50 times each second.

velocity time graph

In a(n) ________, the objects acceleration is the slope of the graph.

Velocity time graphs

________: the speed is read from the vertical axis, and the slope is the objects acceleration.

Displacement (Δx)
