Projectile Motion
The horizontal distance traveled by a projectile.
What is Range?
A push or a pull on an object
What is Force.
A vector quantity that describes the rate of change of an object's position.
What is Velocity?
The prefix that represents a multiple of 10 to the power of -6.
What is Micro?
The ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
What is Sine?
The acceleration of an object in projectile motion.
What is 9.8 m/ss?
The vector sum of all forces acting on an object.
What is Net Force?
A quantity that is completely described by its magnitude alone, such as speed or distance.
What is a Scalar
The prefix that represents a multiple of 10 to the power of 3.
What is Kilo?
The ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
What is Cosine?
The parabolic path that a projectile follows.
What is Trajectory?
The tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion.
What is Inertia?
A vector quantity that describes an object's change in position.
What is Displacement?
The prefix that represents a multiple of 10 to the power of 6.
What is Mega?
A mnemonic used to remember the relationships for the sine, cosine, and tangent functions for a right-angled triangle.
What is SOH CAH TOA?
The component of a projectile's velocity that remains constant throughout its flight.
The rate of change of an object's velocity, which is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.
What is Acceleration?
The motion of an object in which the only force acting on it is gravity.
What is Free Fall?
The prefix that represents a multiple of 10 to the power of -2.
What is Centi?
The formula, a-squared plus b-squared equals c-squared, which relates the sides of a right-triangle.
What is the Pythagorean Theorem?
The word that describes the relationship between the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile.
What is Independent?
For every force, there is an equal and opposite force, as described by Newton's Third Law.
What is Action-Reaction?
The assumed-to-be-at-rest background against which motion is seen.
What is a Frame of Reference?
The prefix that represents a multiple of 10 to the power of -3.
What is Milli?
The ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
What is Tangent?
