Physics Vocab

3. a quantity with magnitude and direction
4. a quantity with a vector in it
5. only has magnitude, not direction
8. the total time a rising and falling object spends in the air
9. an object that falls around Earth or some other body rather than falling into it
10. the new vector formed when adding two vectors together
11. the breaking down of a magnitude and direction (vector) into its x and y components using trigonometry

1. any object that moves through the air (or space), acted on only by gravity (and possibly air resistance). A___ is any body that is given an initial velocity and then follows a path determined by the effect of the gravitational acceleration
2. the maximum horizontal distance a projectile can travel
6. one of the vectors (usually two vectors and they are ussually perpendicular to each other) whose sum is a resultant vector. Any resultant vector may be regarded at the combination of two or more component vectors
7. the path of a projectile
