Physics Unit 02 Vectors and Projectiles

Targets:

Physics Target 02 - 01  I can use vectors to analyze  motion in two dimensions.

Physics Target 02 - 02  I can analyze the trajectory of a projectile.

Text Objectives:

2.1  Distinguish between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity, and give examples of each.

2.2  Draw vector diagrams for velocities and find the resultant of two vectors that have different directions.

2.3  Given a vector, resolve it into horizontal and vertical components.

2.4  For a projectile, describe the changes in the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, when air resistance is negligible.

2.5  Explain why a projectile moves equal distances horizontally in equal time intervals, when air resistance is negligible.
