What Is The Horizontal Acceleration Of A Projectile? Nothing accelerates a projectile horizontally, so horizontal acceleration is always zero. How do you find the horizontal acceleration of a projectile? Horizontal distance can be expressed as x = V * t . Vertical distance from the ground is described by the formula y = – g
What Is The Best Launch Angle For Maximum Range? For ideal projectile motion, which starts and ends at the same height, maximum range is achieved when the firing angle is 45°. If air resistance is taken into account, the optimal angle is somewhat less than 45° and this is often considered obvious. What launch angle
Are All Projectiles Parabolic? Are all projectiles parabolic? projectile motion Is a projectile always a parabola? Projectile motion is parabolic because the vertical position of the object is influenced only by a constant acceleration, (if constant drag etc. is also assumed) and also because horizontal velocity is generally constant. Do all projectiles follow a parabolic
How High Into The Air Did The Ball Travel? Use the vertical motion model, h = -16t2 + vt + s, where v is the initial velocity in feet/second and s is the height in feet, to calculate the maximum height of the ball. How high did the ball travel h in meters? h =
Do Projectiles Have A Predictable Path? Do projectiles have a predictable path? Projectile motion Is projectile motion predictable? The trajectory of an object undergoing projectile motion is predictable. The object will follow a parabolic path that depends only on the initial conditions (launch angle and initial velocity) and acceleration due to gravity: Trajectories of projectiles
Does A Fired Bullet Hit The Ground At The Same Time As A Dropped One? Does a fired bullet hit the ground at the same time as a dropped one? There you have it. The y-component of air resistance for the fired bullet still depends on the fired speed of the bullet (since it is
