IB Physics HL A.1.8 Projectile components
Resolve projectile motion into horizontal and vertical components so you can find flight time, range, speed or height.
How this is tested
- use constant horizontal velocity with vertical acceleration g to calculate time of flight, range or cliff height
- at launch height again, keep horizontal velocity unchanged and reverse the vertical component sign
- resolve launch speed into vector components to find speed or height at a wall from angle, distance or time data
