Lesson 4: Projectile Motion

Question 101797 • 350CR Integrated Science

Which statements describe projectile motion? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Projectile motion involves only vertical motion.
B
Projectile motion involves only horizontal motion.
C
Projectile motion is a combination of horizontal and vertical motion.
D
The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent.
E
The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are dependent on each other.

Explanation

Projectile motion combines horizontal motion with vertical motion, so choice C is correct. These two components are independent: gravity changes the projectile’s vertical motion, while its horizontal motion continues at a constant velocity when air resistance is ignored. Therefore, choice D is also correct; statements A, B, and E are not.
