Common Mistakes to Avoid

Centripetal force is a separate real force that acts outward on a body in circular motion (commonly called 'centrifugal force')

In projectile motion, the horizontal velocity continuously decreases because gravity acts on the projectile

Maximum range of a projectile is always achieved at 45°, regardless of the launch conditions

Memory Tips

Two independent components of projectile motion: horizontal (constant velocity) and vertical (free fall under gravity)

At maximum height, vertical velocity (vᵧ) = 0

Formula for Maximum Height: h = v₀²sin²θ₀ / 2g

Formula for Time of Flight: T = 2v₀sinθ₀ / g
