Projectile Motion (Asynchronous Activity May 22-23) worksheet ... - Free Printable

- A factor that affects the flight of a projectile: launch angle
- The path taken by a projectile: trajectory
- The shape of a trajectory: parabolic
- Maximum vertical distance reached by a projectile: height
- Distance from point of origin to final position (x): range

One of the factors affecting the flight of a projectile is the 1. launch angle. This factor affects the maximum vertical distance 2. height and the maximum horizontal distance 3. range that can be traveled by a projectile through the air. While travelling, the projectile follows a 4. curved path in a 5. parabolic shape caused by the force of gravity.
