Projectile Motion Problem Solving

To understand projectile motion better, we need to focus on objects moving through


the air.

Fill in theBlank: Fill in the blank with the correct words.


1.When an object is thrown, it follows a curved path known as a ___.
2.The highest point of the trajectory is called the ___.
3.The time it takes for an object to go up and come back down is known as
the ___ time.
4. The horizontal distance a projectile travels is called the ___.
5. The initial velocity of a projectile can be split into horizontal
and ___ components.

Word bank: trajectory, peak, hang time, range, vertical

Multiple Choice Questions: Choose the correct answer from the choices for each
question.
6. Which of the following is a factor that affects the range of a projectile?
A) Mass of the object
B) Surface area of the object
C) Initial velocity
D) Color of the object
7. What happens to the horizontal component of velocity during projectile
motion?
A) It remains constant
B) It decreases
C) It increases
D) It fluctuates
8. Which angle will result in the maximum range for a projectile launched
from the ground?
A) 30 degrees
B) 45 degrees
C) 60 degrees
D) 90 degrees
9. In which direction does gravity act on a projectile?
A) Upward
B) Downward
C) Sideways
D) Diagonally
10.What is the relationship between the time of flight and the initial velocity
of a projectile?
A) They are not related
B) They are directly proportional
C) They are inversely proportional
D) They fluctuate randomly

Open-Ended Questions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences.


11.How does air resistance affect the motion of a projectile?
12.Explain why the vertical component of velocity changes during projectile
motion while the horizontal component remains constant.
13.What are the key differences between the motion of a projectile in a
vacuum compared to in the presence of air resistance?

Answer Key:
1. trajectory
2. peak
3. hang time
4. range
5. vertical
6. C) Initial velocity
7. A) It remains constant
8. B) 45 degrees
9. B) Downward
10.B) They are directly proportional
11.Air resistance slows down the projectile, causing it to cover a shorter
distance than in a vacuum.
12.The vertical component is affected by gravity, which changes its speed,
while the horizontal component is not influenced by gravity.
13.In a vacuum, there is no air resistance, so the projectile follows its ideal
path, while in the presence of air resistance, the motion is affected,
leading to a shorter range.
