1. Introduction to projectile motion MANDATORY experiment
Do write-up in your MANDATORY PRACTICAL INVESTIGATIONS booklet

2. Syllabus Dot Point
perform a first-hand investigation, gather information and analyse data to calculate initial and final velocity, maximum height reached, range and time of flight of a projectile for a range of situations by using simulations, data loggers and computer analysis.

3. Projectile motion is horizontal & vertical motion at the same time

4. Vertical Motion a a
Uniform downward acceleration (= ‘g’ = 9.8 m/s2 on earth’s surface)

5. Uniform horizontal velocity
Horizontal Motion
Uniform horizontal velocity v v v v v v v v

6. Putting the 2 motions together
All vector quantities (r, v, a) add together for x- and y-values Vx Vy V
