Today, we'll continue the Projectile Motion Presentation by starting to look at projectiles launched at an angle. We'll look at a special case of a projectile that is caught at the same height as it was launched.
Then, we'll be practicing what you have learned previously about projectile motion. Do 📖 textbook problems from Chapter 3: #28, 32, 60, 63, 66, 79, (optional 31, 33, 57, 64 - launched at an angle).
Homework: Study for Quiz on projectile motion on Thursday, December 12th. Finish 📖 textbook problems above.
Optional Extra Practice: Projectile Motion CompuSheets page 1 (Solutions).
The following videos may help with one of the problems in 📖 textbook Chapter 3:
OPTIONAL ENRICHMENT (for those thinking of taking AT Physics especially):
Learn on your own about projectiles lauched at an angle by watching the rest of Dan Fullerton's video on projectile motion (minute 11 until the end) and more practice problems below.
Optional Enrichment: Do 📖 Mastering Physics Chapter 3 problems "Ch 3 Projectile Problems Set 2": 35, 36, 62, 67, 69, 73.
Optional Extra Practice: Projectile Motion CompuSheets page 2 (Solutions)
Additionally, you can watch these more advanced videos on projectiles launched at angles and landing at a different height:
This video by Michel van Biezen is very similar to the problem that we did in class.
This is an even more complex problem from Flipping Physics. Try this on your own for more of a challenge.
Quiz on projectile motion on TODAY!
Today, we'll talk about Newton's Law of Gravitation. We'll first look at Gravitational Interactions. Then, we'll do a check-in activity on ✅ Formative.com. Next, we'll introduce Newton's Gravitational Constant and do some calculations. Finally, do 📖textbook problems from section 6.5 on Universal Gravitation: #34-41 (skip #38).
Homework: Finish 📖 textbook problems above. For additional support on Newton's Law of Gravitation, watch the following video:
Today, we'll talk very briefly about "uniform circular motion." We'll talk about some variables that we can observe regarding an object traveling in a circle at constant speed. Then, we'll start to work on a lab in ↩️ Pivot Interactives called "Forces in Circular Motion." I would recommend dividing the work in taking data - first discuss as a group how you will take the data in each part and come to consensus; then each person take their data.
Homework: Finish at least taking data for your part the ↩️ Pivot Interactives lab. Whole lab is due Sunday, December 15th at 10pm. Make sure one person in your lab group pastes a screenshot of the graph on the shared document in Google Classroom.
