As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

A boy kicks a ball horizontally over the edge of a cliff with a speed of \(6ms^{-1}\) as shown in the diagram. The ball hits the surface of the water \(3s\) later. (a) Calculate the vertical speed of ...

The motion of objects can be analysed using equations and graphs. These tools allow other aspects of motion such as acceleration and displacement to be determined or modelled. Revise: Forces, energy ...
