Nope, can't agree with that.

"Constant motion" means constant speed in a straight line.

A projectile keeps moving faster vertically downward, and its path curves

downward no matter what direction you launch it. So it fails both tests for

constant motion: Its speed and direction both change.

Why horizontal motion is constant?

Horizontal motion is only constant when it is not being affected by any forces, e.g. the horizontal motion of a projectile after it's shot.


What is the combination of horizontal motion with constant velocity and vertical motion with constant acceleration?

That combination is called "projectile motion". In the absence of air resistance, its shape is always a parabola.


Is it true or false that an object projectile motion is constant motion?

False. First it accelerates and at a certain point speed decreases till the projectile bursts or stops somewhere.


A projectile shot straight forward at the edge of a cliff will?

It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.


A projectile shot straight forward at the edge of the cliff will?

It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.


Are centripetal acceleration and projectile motion the same thing?

Centripetal acceleration at a constant velocity and projectile motion are realistic comparisons, but only in this particular scenario. It should be noted that the vector quantity of both needs to be taken into consideration when answering this question. The vector component of centripetal acceleration moves inward, while outward for projectile motion. So, in essence, centripetal acceleration and projectile motion are not the same thing.


What should be the hypothesis of projectile motion?

How is projectile motion science?

Because a projectile by definition, is in motion.


How does the gravity affect the two components of projectile motion?

Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.


What is the formula projectile?

D= vyt+1/2at2 a = (v2-v1)/t These are the two most basic formula that are used to figure out projectile motion questions, combine with SOHCAHTOA (trig) to solve simple projectile motion problems. Remember the horizontal velocity is always constant.


Use the word parabola in a sentence?

A parabola is the curved path of a projectile is the result of constant motion horizontallt and accelerated motion vertically under the influrnce of gravity.
