About this resource...

Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set parameters such as angle, initial speed, and mass. Explore vector representations, and add air resistance to investigate the factors that influence drag.

Objetivos de Aprendizaje

Determine how each parameter (initial height, initial angle, initial speed, mass, diameter, and altitude) affects the trajectory of an object, with and without air resistance
Predict how varying the initial conditions will affect a projectile’s path, and provide an explanation for the prediction
Estimate where an object will land, given its initial conditions
Determine that the x and y motion of a projectile are independent
Investigate the variables that affect the drag force
Describe the the effect that the drag force has on the velocity and acceleration
Discuss projectile motion using common vocabulary (such as: launch angle, initial speed, initial height, range, time)
