Projectiles Launched From Moving Vehicles definitions Flashcards

An object that is launched or released from a moving vehicle, inheriting its velocity.

The moving object from which a projectile is launched, contributing to its initial velocity.

The speed and direction of a moving object, crucial in determining projectile motion.

A method to combine velocities of a projectile and vehicle, often using the Pythagorean theorem.

A mathematical principle used to calculate the resultant velocity in two-dimensional motion.

The initial speed at which a projectile is launched, combined with vehicle velocity.

A type of projectile motion where the path is mirrored, often used to calculate maximum height.

The peak altitude reached by a projectile, calculated using kinematic equations.

Formulas used to describe the motion of projectiles, focusing on velocity and acceleration.

A projectile motion where the object is released with no initial vertical velocity.

The part of a projectile's velocity that acts in the vertical direction, affecting height.

The curved trajectory followed by a projectile under the influence of gravity.

The starting speed and direction of a projectile, combining launch and vehicle velocities.

The force acting on a projectile after launch, influencing its downward motion.

The path followed by a projectile, determined by its initial velocity and external forces.
