Goal: To present vectors and apply them to solve projectile motion problems.
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
- distinguish between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity, and give examples of each.
- draw vector diagrams for vector quantities.
- use the parallelogram, tail-to-head and computational methods to find the resultant of two or more vectors that have different directions.
- given a vector, resolve it into horizontal and vertical components graphically and computationally.
