Effects of Changing Initial Velocity on Projectile Motion

 

This topic is part of the HSC Physics syllabus under the section Projectile Motion.

HSC Physics Syllabus

  • Apply the modelling of projectile motion to quantitatively derive the relationships between the following variables:

– maximum height
– time of flight
– final velocity
– horizontal range of the projectile

    • Solve problems, create models and make quantitative predictions by applying the equations of motion relationships for uniformly accelerated and constant rectilinear motion

    Effects of Changing Initial Velocity on Projectile Motion

    This video explains the effect of changing the horizontal and vertical component of initial velocity on an object's range, maximum height and time of flight during its projectile motion.
