Physics Problems: Projectile Motion

This document defines a projectile as an object affected by gravity during motion, describes trajectory as the path followed by a projectile, and defines motion as movement caused by a force. It also provides examples of calculating the horizontal and vertical motion of objects under the influence of gravity, such as a falling package or flying frisbee.

DLA QUESTION # 2
 2. A package is dropped from a helicopter flying at a height of 7.5
m while traveling 15m/s. How far does the package travel
horizontally before it hits the ground below?

 Given: dy = 7.5. m vx = 15m/s


 Formula: dx = vx t
Solve for t = 2 dy
