Study Notes
Projectile Motion
- Range is the maximum horizontal distance a projectile can travel.
Density
- Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.
Forces
- Restoring force is a force that tends to restore a body from its displacement to its equilibrium position.
