Title: What does a graph of vertical distance versus time show about projectile motion?
Post by: riveraj22 on Feb 5, 2013
The graph of vertical distance versus time has a line curving up. What does this show about projectile motion?

If its diagonal and linear than its showing constant speed. If its curved it's showing some kind of acceleration. if its horizontal its showing that the projectile is stopped.

It shows the lower density of the upper atmosphere applies less drag to the projectile.  The lower resistance means it can be shot farther without being shot at 45 degrees of elevation.
