Graphical Vector Addition - a method of combining two or more vectors into a single vector, called a resultant, by drawing them on graph paper and using the head to tail, Component vector - a part of a resultant vector along an specific axis, Resultant vector - a single vector that has the same effect as multiple vectors combined; the result of adding two vectors, head (of a vector) - the end point of a vector; the location of the vector’s arrow; also referred to as the tip, head-to-tail method - a method of adding vectors in which the tail of each vector is placed at the head of the previous vector, maximum height (of a projectile) - the highest altitude, or maximum displacement in the vertical position reached in the path of a projectile, projectile - an object that travels through the air and experiences only acceleration due to gravity, projectile motion - the motion of an object that is subject only to the acceleration of gravity, range - the maximum horizontal distance that a projectile travels, tail - the starting point of a vector; the point opposite to the head or tip of the arrow, trajectory - the path of a projectile through the air, centrifugal force - a fictitious force that acts in the direction opposite the centripetal acceleration, centripetal acceleration - the component of the acceleration of an object perpendicular to the velocity; an object moving in a circular path experiences centripetal acceleration directed toward the center of the circle, centripetal force - the component of the net force which is perpendicular to the velocity; an object moving in a circular path does so due to a centripetal force, uniform circular motion - the motion of an object in a circular path at constant speed, freefall - a situation in which the only force acting on an object is the force of gravity,
