Special Equations in Symmetrical Launches definitions Flashcards

A type of projectile motion where the final height equals the initial height, with equal ascent and descent times.

The speed at which a projectile is launched, often denoted as V0.

The angle at which a projectile is launched relative to the horizontal.

The constant acceleration experienced by an object in free fall, typically 9.8 m/s² on Earth.

The total duration a projectile is in motion from launch to landing.

The total horizontal distance covered by a projectile during its flight.

An equation to calculate the horizontal range: R = V0² * sin(2*theta) / g.

Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees, yielding the same range for a given initial velocity.

The greatest horizontal distance achieved by a projectile, occurring at a 45-degree launch angle.

The part of the initial velocity acting in the vertical direction, calculated as V0 * sin(theta).

The part of the initial velocity acting in the horizontal direction, calculated as V0 * cos(theta).

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

The change in position of a projectile, often measured as the horizontal range.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion equations used to describe motion with constant acceleration.

The velocity of a projectile when it is descending, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the initial upward velocity.
