The movement of an object or body only under the influence of gravity
What is Free Fall?
45 degrees
What is the angle that gives the maximum range of a projectile?
Factors in your experiment that remain constant and unchanged.
What are controlled variables?
y = mx + b
What is the Slope Intercept Form Equation?
The change in velocity of an object over time.
What is acceleration?
The variable that denotes vertical displacement, or height.
What is ∆y?
Horizontal & Vertical
What are the components/directions of Projectile Motion?
Factors in your experiment that you change.
What is the independent variable?
A system of a measurement that is based on the meter.
What is the metric system?
The variable that denotes total change in position.
What is ∆x?
The force acting on an object that is moving through air flowing in the opposite direction.
What is Air Resistance? or What is Drag?
The horizontal distance that a projectile covers.
What is Range?
