Modelling Projectile Motion (HSC SSCE Physics): Flashcards

Motion in a straight line or along a single direction

Vertical (accelerated) and horizontal (constant velocity)

Zero acceleration

$g$ (gravity)

Uses equations to calculate motion step by step over time

Excel uses radians for sine and cosine functions

$u_x = u\cos\theta$

$u_y = u\sin\theta$

Constant throughout the motion

Uses $ signs; won't change when copied
