- Projectile Motion
- Downward acceleration- only affects the vertical velocity
- The only force acting on a projectile during flight is gravity
- Optimum angle= 45 degrees
- Projectile- an object thrown or dropped that has gravity acting upon it
- Projectile velocity
- Defined by two vectors
- No air resistance
- Vertical velocity
- Increases due to acceleration by gravity
- Horizontal velocity remains constant
- Projectile velocity
- Trajectory- path of an object through space
