science 4
- force that pulls objects downward toward Earth.
Gravity
- sideways motion that stays constant during flight
Horizontal
- having a curved path caused by combined motions
Parabolic
- speed of an object in a given direction
Velocity
- up-and-down motion affected by gravity.
Vertical
- shape of a projectile path
Parabola
- force that acts downward on a projectile.
Gravity
- horizontal motion of a projectile.
Constant
happens when an object is thrown or launched with an initial
velocity and then moves only under the influence of gravity,
tracing a curved path called a trajectory, the object itself is
called a projectile.
Projectile motion
moves forward
at a constant speed
Horizontal Motion
moves up or
down due to gravity (-9.8m/s²)
Vertical Motion
- a numerical value in degrees (°) expressing the orientation of a projectile to be thrown/projected
angle (θ)
- responsible for the projectile to travel at a vertical distance
vertical velocity (Vy)
- responsible for the projectile to travel at a horizontal distance
horizontal velocity (Vx)
- the maximum vertical distance a projectile can reach from the ground
maximum height (Ymax)
- horizontal distance covered by a projectile
range (x)
- an object given an initial velocity thrown/projected to be acted upon solely by gravity in a parabolic (curved-like) path
projectile
- the parabolic (curved-like) path taken by a projectile
trajectory
