Gizmo Physics Questions and Answers Already Passed

Gizmo Physics Questions and Answers Already Passed you are in a contest with your friends to see who can drive a golf ball the farthest. Should you hit a "line drive" (low to the ground) or a shot with a very high angle? Explain hit the ball with a high angle bc it will carry more in the air and trajectory/projection will carry it further; less friction carrying the ball Golf drives travel much farther than Major League home runs. Why might this be? it is smaller/denser; less air resistance projectile motion the movement of objects through space (like a ball) trajectory the curved path an object takes through the air air resistance The force acts in an opposite direction to the object moving through the air why would the curve of a trajectory be slightly steeper on the right than on the left air resistance The Moon has much less gravity than Earth and has an extremely thin atmosphere. How would these factors affect the trajectory of a golf ball on the Moon? With much lower gravity and much less air resistance, the golf ball will stay airborne longer and travel father. velocity is a _________ quantity because it describes the speed and direction of an object vector what two components can the velocity of an object be shown through horizontal (vx) and vertical (vy) what is free fall downward movement under the force of gravity only. what is true about the velocity components of a projectile motion the horizontal component doesn't change as the object moves but the vertical component decreases over time what force causes the vertical component to change gravity why wouldn't the horizontal component change no forces on the horizontal direction What is acceleration? change in velocity as the ball moves through its trajectory, it undergoes a downward acceleration due to the force of ____________ gravity what is the free fall equation h=gt^2/2 gravity A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses. hang time The total time a projectile spends in the air along its trajectory launch angle The angle a projectile's path makes with the launch surface what is the difference between projectile and trajectory the projectile is the object and the trajectory is the path that it moves along vector A quantity that has magnitude and direction Velocity Speed in a given direction
