Lesson 4: Projectile Motion

Question 11 • 350CR Integrated Science

Which is an example of projectile motion?

Answer
A
a person throwing a rock
B
a child swinging on a swing set
C
an athlete running on a track
D
a teacher picking up a pencil

Explanation

Projectile motion occurs when an object is launched and then moves through the air mainly under the influence of gravity. A rock thrown by a person follows this kind of motion after it leaves the person’s hand. Swinging, running, and picking up a pencil involve continued contact or support rather than a freely moving projectile.
