Option 5: I will be looking for the effect of change on society. I will show how my topic has influenced the way we live. I will investigate the development of computers , and show how this technology has revolutionized our world. Or how discoveries in the medical fields have changed the life expectancy and what impact this has on culture. I will look for background information to support my facts. I will put graphs to show decreases and increases in society. This will help me determine how projectile motion and gravity has impacted peoples life through out the years. At the end I will make the conclusion if projectile motion has helped society in a positive or negative way.

Galileo was the first one to discover that a curve path followed by a projectile is a parabola. Before Galileo's discovery it was thought by Aristotle that its was called violent motion. Even though we don't think about it, projectile motion is used in our everyday life. It has impacted society in one of the largest reason which is that we are able to use cellphones. This is done by sending satellites to space. It also impacts society in one of the smallest ways such as throwing a football. This is called a parabolic flight path. Projectile motion has also helped by sending satellites and rockets into space. Another example is helping golfers figure out the flight pattern of their golf balls over an obstacle. Projectile motion has impacted society in many ways that are tools we use in our everyday life. Projectile motion has made a big impact on technology and has revolutionized our world. It has changed peoples life as the years pass in a positive way.
