How far beneath the straight line path does the projectile fall after 2 seconds?

well, assuming no outside interference such as wind, air resistance, etc...
the acceleration is -9.8m/s squared.
the time is 2 seconds
and the initial velocity in the vertical plane is 0
so, using the formula d=v(1)t+1/2at(squared)
d=1/2(-9.8)(2)squared
d= -19.6m
so, 19.6m beneath the straight line path

How does a projectile differ from an object free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
How Does Projectile differ from a object in free fall?
The initial velocty of a projectile is non-zero.
What is a freely falling projectile?
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)
An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 200 meters per seconds. How long will it be before beginning to fall?
40.81632653 or (rounded to the nearest 10th) 40.8 seconds
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
True or false Because of earths gravitational pull and their own inertia projectiles travel in a straight path?
False Because gravity is constantly pulling on the projectile while the projectile is trying to move forward in a straight line, the projectile will move in a CURVED path and fall down to earth.
When is projectile considered a free fall?
As soon as it is launched, a projectile is in free fall.
How does projectile differ from an object in free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
How does a projectile differ from an object free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
Define fall of a projectile?
The fall of a projectile is due to the force of gravity. Projectiles have no capacity for self-propulsion and are objects that are thrown or propelled.

What is the duration of Fall Out Fall In?
The duration of Fall Out Fall In is 480.0 seconds.
How long to hit the ground from the top of the Willis tower in Chicago?
A bit less than 10.5 seconds, assuming a straight free fall. Actual speed in a free fall varies based on body position.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
