1. Trajectory
The path a projectile is called a trajectory in physics. It has a vertical component and even makes a parabola, but if we are talking about physics, it is trajectory.
2. A person sitting in a chair
Projectiles can be defined as an object that is in flight. So it has to be in the air. Since a person sitting in a chair is not in flight, then it is NOT a projectile. (Unless you throw the person in the air while he is in the chair)
3. 490 meters
We have the formula and our given:
d = 1/2gt²
Just plug in the values to get your answer:
d = 1/2(-9.8m/s²)(10s)²
d = (-4.9m/s²)(100s²)
d = -490m
So since height is a scalar value, just take out the negative sign.
4. 65 m/s
Again we have our formula and given:
So we just plug in our values:
5. True
A projectile, if you will notice its trajectory moves both horizontally and vertically. The horizontal motion is what we call the x-component and the vertical is called the y-component. This is what gives it its' curved path.
6. False
An ellipse is an oval-shaped path. A projectile does not move in a circular/oval path. It travels a curved path. It can be parabolic. It is curved but it does not follow a circular path.
7. The vertical component always equals the horizontal component
This is false. Vertical component is different from the horizontal component. The horizontal component is not influenced by gravity only the vertical component. So in short, the horizontal component is the same throughout, but the vertical component changes over time.
8. Constant
Like mentioned above, the horizontal movement is constant or it does not change. This is because a projectile is defined also as an object that is influenced solely by gravity.
9. Vertical velocity decreases
This is because the movement is against the pull of gravity. It will continue to decrease until it will eventually come to a stop and start to descend. As it descends it increases.
10. Vertical velocity increases
I guess explained it above. As the object descends, the vertical movement increases. This is why you can actually die at certain heights. It increases as the time in flight increases. So the longer in flight, the faster it will get.
