Study Notes
Forces Experienced by a Projectile
- The only force experienced by a projectile after it is launched into the air is gravity.
Path of a Projectile
- The path of a projectile is referred to as a trajectory.
Situations Where Air Resistance is Considered
- In introductory physics, air resistance is considered in situations involving low-speed objects or in cases where air resistance is significant.
- Air resistance is often neglected in high-speed objects or when its effect is negligible.
