This document provides information about projectile motion including definitions, key concepts, and sample questions. It defines projectile motion as the motion of an object thrown or projected at an angle and explains that a projectile's motion is determined by its initial velocity and gravity. It describes the two components of projectile motion as horizontal and vertical motion. The horizontal motion is constant while the vertical motion experiences constant downward acceleration due to gravity. The document also discusses how the angle of projection relates to factors like height, range, and time of flight. It provides sample multiple choice questions to test understanding of concepts like maximum range, initial versus final horizontal velocity, and examples of projectiles.

3. Which of the following statement is true? Date: ___________________________ Two objects are released from the same height. Object A falls straight down from the cliff and object B follows a Projectile Worksheet curved parabolic path. Projectile motion refers to the motion of an A. A hits the ground before B object that is thrown, or projected into the air B. B hits the ground before A at an angle. C. A hits the ground first only if it is heavier than B D. A and B hit the ground at the same time. 4. Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which an object changes its position. A. True B. False
5.
The motion of a projectile is determined only
by the object’s initial velocity and gravity. The path of the projectile is called its trajectory. Projectile motion is a combination of horizontal motion and vertical motion. Horizontal Motion - The horizontal motion of a projectile is constant because no gravitational force acts horizontally. Projectile motion has two component, horizontal(x) and -The horizontal acceleration is zero thus, velocity is constant. vertical (y) as can be seen in the figure above. The Vertical Motion horizontal motion has - The vertical motion of a projectile is nothing more than free A. Contant acceleration C. constant velocity fall with a constant downward acceleration due to gravity. B. Changing acceleration. D. changing velocity - The velocity increases as it moves downward. Angle and Range 6. In the absence of air friction, which component of a Relationship between angles and the height: projectile’s velocity will not change as the projectile moves? •As the angle increases, the height also increases. A. Vertical C. both vertical and horizontal Relationship between the angle and therange: B. Horizontal. D. none •If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the range is increasing. if the angle is greater than 45 degrees the 7. In the absence of air resistance, the angle at which projectile range is decreasing. will go farthest is. . . Relationship between the angle and the time: A. 75o B. 60o C. 45o. E. 30o •As the angle increases, the time also increases. Maximum range is achieved if the projectile is 8. Which launch angle will have the same range as 25o? fired at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to A. 65o B. 55o C. 45o D. none of the these the horizontal 9. In projectile motion, the initial horizontal velocity is _______ the final horizontal velocity. A. Smaller than C. the same as B. Greater than. D. zero
10. Which of the following would NOT be considered a projectile?
A. A cannonball fired towards a distant castle. B. A cannonball rolling down a sloppe. C. A cannonball fired straight outward from a castle wall. D. A cannonball after it rolls off the edge of a cliff.
