Displacement Acceleration Velocity Weight Force
Projectile motion
An object which has been given forward motion and is pulled down by gravity, creating a curve
Why does a projectile curve
Constant horizontal velocity
Constant vertical acceleration
Average speed
Total distance travelled in a given time
Instantaneous speed
The average speed in a very short time
Calculate instantaneous speed
Length of card/ time taken for object to pass through light gate
Acceleration
Change of speed of an object per second
