to:
(C) analyze and
describe accelerated
motion in two
dimensions using
equations, including
projectile and
circular examples;

Guiding Questions
What are the
horizontal and
vertical components
of velocity?
How does gravity
affect velocity in
the horizontal and
vertical directions?
What does a force
diagram tell you?
Specificity
Students should be
able to predict the
horizontal range.
