Examples: Falling rock / Dropped ball Acceleration of free fall: G equals nine point eight meters per second squared. Highest Point of Projectile At the highest point: Vertical velocity equals zero. Horizontal velocity equals constant. The object still moves horizontally.
Key Projectile Formulas Horizontal Motion
Key Projectile Formulas Horizontal Motion
Distance:
D equals V T
Where
V equals horizontal velocity
T equals time
Vertical Motion Height or displacement: Y equals V T plus one half G T squared
Important Concepts Range The horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. Maximum range occurs when the angle is forty-five degrees.
