Projectile Motion (HSC SSCE Physics): Flashcards

Object launched into air that doesn't power itself

Initial velocity and gravitational force

Path a projectile follows through the air

$g = -9.8 \, \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$

$a_x = 0$

$a_y = g = -9.8 \, \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$

$u_x = u \cos\theta$

$u_y = u \sin\theta$

Stays constant throughout flight
