Exam points

  • resolve launch velocity into horizontal and vertical components before applying suvat
  • use independent horizontal and vertical motion to calculate time, range or height
  • deduce whether a projectile clears a target, reaches a slope or breaks a distance record

1.3.7 - Projectile motion components question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

When water vapour in the atmosphere cools it condenses, forming tiny drops of water. These drops increase in size by colliding with each other and fall back to the ground as rain.

Some plants have adapted to high rainfall by having a specialised shape and waxy leaves. This allows rain to slide down a leaf and off the end as a series of drops.

A drop of water slides off a leaf as shown.

Add to the diagram to show the position of the drop at regular intervals of time. The first two positions have been drawn for you.
