center of path of motion
Centripetal acceleration points to . . .
the center of the path
What is the path a projectile takes called?
What is the trajectory?
A projectile is shot at 20 degrees. What other angle would give you the same distance.
70 degrees
What month was Taylor born?

Objects that have circular motion move in a ....
Circular Path
Centripetal acceleration is caused by changing . . .

gravity
How old was Taylor swift when she wrote her first novel?
12
Two cars go around a curve. If one is moving twice as fast, which car would be more likely to go off the road? Why is this the case?
The faster one since it needs more force to stay on the road
Which direction is centripetal force pulling a ball on a circular path
towards the center
Why does a 45 degree angle give you the maximum distance?
The vertical and horizontal velocities are balanced
If a projectile is shot up and accelerates, what happens at it's peak height?
It's velocity is zero.
What is Taylor's favorite number also called her lucky number?
13
An ice skater is spinning in a circle with her arms out. What would you expect to happen to her speed if she brought her arms in. Why is this the case?
She speeds up because her radius is smaller
This is the REAL force that keeps a ball in a circular motion
tension
If you want a projectile to go farther than it is currently launching, what is one thing you can do to the launcher to make it go further?
Increase angle or velocity
Inertia is another way to refer to an object's???
mass
What is Taylor's favorite dessert?
cheesecake
You are spinning a ball on a string around you when the string suddenly snaps. In what direction would the ball go and why? Draw a picture to help explain it if it helps.
In the direction it was going/forward/straight line
How would you remove a satellite from the Earth's Orbit?
Slowing it down
