Projectile Motion continued

During today's class we went over the ivory booklet pages 10, 15,17,18,23, and 24.
On page 10: Tossed Ball Problem
The answers are as follows:
20 m/s
10 m/s
5 m/s
5 m/s
11.2 m/s
20.6 m/s
30.3 m/s

On page 15: Transparency 6-1 Worksheet
The Trajectory of a Projectile
1. the highest point of the projectile has the smallest magnitude because ate this point vertical velocity equals zero.
2. their the same in magnitude but different in directions.
3. their the same in magnitude and directions.
4.


On page 17: Transparency 6-2 Worksheet
Vertical and Horizontal Projectiles
1. they are the same
2. they are the same
3. the horizontal motion does not affect the vertical motion
4. it is because of the vertical spacing between the ball's motion is changing
5. it's because the horizontal distance between the red ball's motion are the same

Physics Lab Worksheet ; On Target

For those who were not in class today we did our 'On Target' lab which can be found in your ivory booklet Projectile Motion page 19. We got into our groups and built a target launcher that would be able to fling a ping-pong ball a distance of 1 meter. We were able to use anything we could think of that would help us with this lab. Once we built our target launcher, we started to fill in our data tables. Although, it was kinda difficult, most of us groups got our data tables filled.
I think the next step would probably answer the 'Analyze' and 'Conclude and Apply'.

patrickd to scribe next.
