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.
What occurs when rock fragments fall freely through the air?
Free fall
How far below an initial straight line path will a projectile fall in one second?
Given no air resistance or other forces acting on the projectile, the projectile falls at a rate of ~9.81 meters per second. Given the position equation is at^2 + vt + x, where a is acceleration, v is velocity, x is the starting position, and t is time. Given an initial velocity and time of zero, the object will have moved ~9.81 meters in the first second.
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be a. stationary. b. decelerating. c. in free fall.?
c. Free fall
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be in what fall?
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.
How Does Projectile differ from a object in free fall?
The initial velocty of a projectile is non-zero.
How does a projectille differ from an object in a free fall?
A projectile has an initial forward velocity.
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)
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of vertical free fall?
They're equal.
How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare with the motion of free fall?
well if you think about it free fall is just an object that falls down with no force besides gravity pushing on it. and projectile is also something or an object that has no force acting on it besides gravity. so there pretty alike. that is how they compare.

How does the downward component of the motion of a projectile compare to the motion of free fall?
They are the same, if the effect of air resistance is ignored.
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 projectile kit?
A projectile kit is a device being used in showing the motion of a free-falling body and a projectile. It is clamped on one corner of a table and uses 2 marbles. It is also accompanied by metal sheets - one for the FFB and for the projectile. When you use it, you may notice that when the two marbles were launched. It will fall at the same time (you can hear a single sound).
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be a. stationary. b. decelerating. c. in free fall. d. a projectile.?
c is correct.
