Kinematics- Vertical Projectile Motion Flashcards
(3 cards)
1
Q
What is the gravitational acceleration ‘g’ experienced by projectiles near the surface of the Earth?
A
g = 9.8 m·s
This value is critical in calculating the motion of projectiles.
2
Q
True or False: A projectile takes different amounts of time to rise to its highest point and to fall back down.
A
False
The time taken to rise and fall is the same.
3
Q
Fill in the blank: A projectile takes the same amount of time to rise to its highest point as it takes to _______.
A
fall back down to where it started
This is a fundamental property of projectile motion.
