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