Tuesday, March 12 – Projectile Motion

Shape of the Day

• • Attendance – sit where you want
  • Individual Midterm Project Part 1B – Kinematics Experiment
    • Wednesday, March 13: Lab write-up due
  • As a class, go through all of Worksheet – Projectile Motion
    • Worksheet Solutions – Projectile Motion 1
    • Worksheet Solutions – Projectile Motion 2
    • If you are having trouble solving the problems, try these resources
      • Khan Academy – Projectile Motion
      • OpenStax – Projectile Motion
    • If you can solve all the problems, try solving them algebraically (no numbers)
      • i.e. Q2 becomes: A projectile is fired horizontally at v₀ m/s off of a table with a height of h meters.
    • If solving algebraically is too easy, try solving the problems where the land they are firing at has a slope of 30 degrees downwards (like in this picture)
    • Think of real-world projectile motion applications for assignment starting tomorrow (Wednesday)
  • Wrap-up
    • Wednesday: Kinematics lab due
    • Think about real-world projectile motion applications
