The dynamics of projectile motion encompass various factors and principles, including the influence of headwinds, crosswinds, and tailwinds on an object's trajectory. Understanding the optimal angles for achieving maximum horizontal range is crucial, particularly noting that complementary angles result in the same horizontal distances.
What is the definition
of a projectile? What
connection does it
have to another topic
previously studied
this year?
What is the acceleration
of the vertical component of
a projectile? How about of
the horizontal component?
What is the relationship
between free fall and projectile
motion? What is the relationship
between the distance of a
projectile underneath a no-
gravity, straight line path and
a free falling object's distance
covered as it falls?
What kind of path
do projectiles usually
have?
What are headwinds,
crosswinds, and tailwinds?
How do they affect the
motion of objects?
Explain horizontal and vertical
components of velocity. How, if
at all, do they depend on each other?
How do vectors relate to motion?
