Vertical Projectile Motion in One Dimension (Grade 12 NSC Matric Physical Sciences): Flashcards

Objects thrown/dropped moving under gravity alone

Body launched moving under only gravity influence

$g = 9.8$ m⋅s⁻²

Always downward toward Earth's centre

$v = 0$ m⋅s⁻¹

Still $g = 9.8$ m⋅s⁻² downward

Time up to max height = time down to starting position

$v = v_i + gt$

$s = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$v^2 = v_i^2 + 2gs$
