Essential Question:
Why is gravity sometimes
a positive value and
sometimes a negative
value?
Standard:
SP1: Students will
analyze the relationships
between force, mass,
gravity, and the motion
of objects
Objectives:
f. Measure and
calculate two dimensional motion
(projectile and circular)
by using component
vectors
Activities:
1) Discuss instantaneous
velocity, free fall distance
and (+/-) gravity
2) stopwatch wkst
3) wkst 2-2 (pg 5-6)
4) Go over test
Compare and contrast
vectors at right angles to
those that lie in the
same plane.
What are the two
components of projectile
motion?
How does an object’s
initial velocity affect its
range?
How does the angle a
projectile is launched
affect its range?
Standard:
SP1: Students will
analyze the
relationships between
force, mass, gravity, and
the motion of objects
Objectives:
f. Measure and
calculate two dimensional motion
(projectile and circular)
by using component
vectors
Activities:
1) Stamp and go over
yesterday’s wksts, practice
free fall problems
2) page 74 # 42, 44, 45, 46
3) Discuss pythag. Ther.
4) Vector Vector Activity
Standard:
