Definition?

How do vectors relate to motion?

Explain horizontal and vertical
components of velocity. How, if
at all, do they depend on each other?

What are headwinds,
crosswinds, and tailwinds?
How do they affect the
motion of objects?

What kind of path
do projectiles usually
have?

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 is the acceleration
of the vertical component of
a projectile? How about of
the horizontal component?

What is the definition
of a projectile? What
connection does it
have to another topic
