Lesson: Projectiles Physics

Students will be able to

• distinguish between the horizontal and vertical components of the motion of a projectile,
• identify horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion on distance–time, displacement–time, speed–time, and velocity–time graphs,
• identify changes in the KE and GPE of a projectile along its trajectory,
• identify the directions of forces acting on projectiles,
• compare the magnitudes of forces acting on projectiles,
• distinguish between the trajectories of projectiles that are and are not affected by drag forces.
