- Projectile motion
- Horizontal and vertical motions are completely separate.
- Horizontal velocity remains constant.
- Vertical velocity is affected by the acceleration due to gravity(g).
- In the vertical plane, objects will accelerate downwards at 9.8ms-2.
- The equations of motion can be applied to the vertical motion to ascertain the time spent by the object in free fall.
- The equations of motion can be applied to the vertical motion to ascertain the time spent by the object in free fall.
- The horizontal displacement is the product of the constant horizontal velocity and the vertical time.
- Horizontal velocity remains constant.
- If something starts off at an angle, you'll start with horizontal and vertical velocity.
- First resolve the initial velocity into horizontal and vertical components.
- Often you'll us the vertical component to work out how long its in the air or how high it goes.
- Vertical velocity is affected by the acceleration due to gravity(g).

- Vertical velocity is affected by the acceleration due to gravity(g).
- You can use the horizontal component to work out how far it goes when its in the air.
