What are two key components of a projectiles motion?
Two key components of a projectile's motion are its horizontal motion and vertical motion. The horizontal motion is constant and determined by the initial velocity, while the vertical motion is influenced by gravity, causing the projectile to travel in a curved path.
What are horizontal motion and vertical motion?
horizontal is side to side vertical is up and down
What dose it mean to say a projectiles horizontal and vertical velocity are independent or each other?
When a projectile's horizontal and vertical velocities are independent, it means that the horizontal velocity does not affect the vertical velocity, and vice versa. This means that the projectile will continue to move horizontally at a constant velocity regardless of its vertical motion, and its vertical motion will be affected only by gravity.
Does the horizontal motion affect the vertical motion of a projectile?
No, horizontal motion does not affect the vertical motion of a projectile. The two components of motion (horizontal and vertical) are independent of each other in the absence of external forces such as air resistance. The vertical motion is governed by gravity, while the horizontal motion remains constant.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion?
Horizontal motion refers to movement along the x-axis, while vertical motion refers to movement along the y-axis. In horizontal motion, the speed and acceleration are typically constant, while in vertical motion, the influence of gravity causes changes in speed and acceleration. Both types of motion can occur simultaneously in two-dimensional motion.
How are the horizontal motion and vertical motion related in physics?
In physics, horizontal motion and vertical motion are independent of each other. This means that the horizontal motion of an object does not affect its vertical motion, and vice versa. Each motion is determined by its own set of factors, such as velocity, acceleration, and forces acting on the object.
How is the motion in the vertical direction affected by motion in the horizontal direction?
The motion in the vertical direction is independent of the motion in the horizontal direction. This means that an object can move vertically without affecting its horizontal motion and vice versa. The two motions can occur simultaneously without one influencing the other.
When you graph the motion of an object you put what on the horizontal and the what on the vertical axis?
Time on horizontal, Distance on Vertical
How do you compare and contrast the Aristotelian and Gallilean conceptions of vertical motion horizontal motion and projectile motion?
Aristotle's conceptions of motion involved natural states and elements, with vertical motion seen as objects seeking their natural place. Horizontal motion was believed to require a force to sustain it, contrasting with natural rectilinear motion. Projectiles were thought to rely on a medium for propulsion, such as air. In contrast, Galileo introduced the concept of inertia and applied mathematical analysis to motion, treating horizontal and vertical components independently. He also formulated the principle of inertia, which states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.
Do horizontally launched projectiles have a horizontal acceleration?
No, horizontally launched projectiles do not have a horizontal acceleration after being launched because there are no horizontal forces acting on them once they are in motion. Horizontal acceleration only occurs if there is a change in velocity in the horizontal direction, which would require a horizontal force.
Which of these components of projectile motion is not influenced by gravity?
Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
Is it true that the vertical component of the projectile motion of an object depend on initial velocity only?
Yes, in projectile motion, the vertical component of motion is influenced by the initial velocity in the vertical direction. The horizontal and vertical components of motion are independent of each other, with the horizontal component being influenced by the initial velocity in the horizontal direction.
