Positive (Upward) Launch definitions Flashcards

A projectile motion where the object lands at a different height than it was launched.

Equations used to describe the motion of objects, accounting for variables like velocity and acceleration.

The component of velocity acting in the vertical direction, affected by gravity.

The peak point in a projectile's trajectory where vertical velocity is zero.

The change in vertical position of a projectile from its initial to final point.

A constant force acting on objects in free fall, approximately -9.8 m/s² on Earth.

A property where the ascent and descent of a projectile are mirror images.

A specific section of a projectile's path used for calculations.

The velocity of a projectile at the moment of launch.

The velocity of a projectile just before it reaches its final position.

The motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only gravity.

The path followed by a projectile flying or an object moving under the action of given forces.

The part of a vector that points in the vertical direction.

The part of a vector that points in the horizontal direction.

The overall change in position of an object, considering only the initial and final points.
