Page 0 This text is meant to accompany class discussions. It is not everything there is to know about uniform circular motion. It is meant as a  prep for class. More detailed notes and examples are given in the class notes, presentations, and demonstrations (click here.) Click for the questions that go with this reading Table of Contents Page Description 0 Objectives (scroll down) 1 Horizontal Motion 2 Vertical Motion 3 Motion in a Plane (Position) 4 Motion in a Plane (Organization and Direction) 5 Projectile Motion 6 Projectile Motion Givens with Trigonometry 7 Steps to Solving Projectile Motion Problems 8 Implied Givens and Other Short Cuts 9 Calculating Impact Velocity's Magnitude and Direction   Objectives Students should be able to:   1 Draw and label a picture of the problem showing numbers and units   2 Draw a triangle showing the initial velocity, its angle, and its horizontal and vertical components.   3 Draw this triangle with vectors.   4 List givens with units in a table.   5 Describe what is being calculated.   6 Show the equation with only variables.   7 Isolate the unknown showing only the letter variables.   8 Show equations with the numbers AND units.   9 Show the answer with the correct sig. figs. and units   10 Calculate and the following given the initial velocity, (magnitude and direction,) and one other "given."     a Height to apogee b Time to apogee c Time in the air d Range e Landing height f Given the range you can calculate the height. g Given the height, you can calculate the range. h Directions and signs of the variables.   11 You will do this involving problems that set up like any of the following for problems where the initial velocity is up or down at an angle     a Lands at the same height as the start height. b Lands higher than the start height. c Lands lower than the start height. d Rolls horizontally off a surface to a landing below 1 - Vector components, creating the data table, Assigning the signs, first example problem 2 - Example class problem #4 3 - Example problems 1, 2, 5, and 6 Solutions to some of the problems from the resource book Online review quiz complete with built in feedback. Review of typical test questionsnad solutions. Ignore any questiosn where you are asked to calcualte the impact velocity. Mastery assignment for only horizontal projectile motion. This is the mastery assignment. It must be completed to earn the right to take the mastery test.   Test Review Questions and Answers in One Document (293 kb) Help Videos on YouTube ...by me Identifying the givens and breaking up the initial velocity into vertical and horizontal pieces.
