PROJECTILES LAUNCHED AT AN ANGLE
FLYING SIDE TURN KICKS
Projectiles launched at an angle start by being launched at the fastest speed. Then, it gets pulled down and is constantly losing vertical velocity. It starts to come back down forming an arc path. Yet, the horizontal velocity component remains the same. In martial arts, a flying side turn kick relates to this perfectly. They follow the same path and ways as an object in projectile motion at an angle. 1.) What is the vertical component of velocity? gravity 2.) What is the horizontal component of velocity at the peak if its 20 m/s at the beginning? 20 m/s (stays the same) |
