A - Projectile motion :)

Question 1

What is meant by projectile motion?

Answer 1

The movement of either an object or the human body travels through the air

Question 2

What are the factors that affect horizontal displacement?

Answer 2

*Angle of release
*Speed of release
*Height of release

Question 3

How does angle of release affect horizontal displacement?

Answer 3

*Optimum release angle is dependent on release height and landing height

Question 4

How does height of release affect horizontal displacement?

Answer 4

Greater height of release = greater horizontal displacement

Question 5

How does speed of release affect horizontal displacement?

Answer 5

Greater speed/velocity of release = greater horizontal displacement

Question 6

What is the optimum height if release height = landing height?

Answer 6

= 45

Question 7

What is the optimum height if release height < landing height?

Answer 7

> 45

Question 8

What is the optimum height if release height > landing height?

Answer 8

<45

Question 9

Draw and label the flight path of a shot putt

Answer 9

SHEET projectile motion A
Parabola
Lighter mass and unusual shape increases air resistance

Question 10

Answer 10

SHEET projectile motion B
Distorted parabola

Question 11

Draw the vector components of a parabolic flight

Answer 11

SHEET projectile motion C
