Thelma and Louise!

Mon. Oct. 17, and Tues. Oct. 18
Today we discussed the general properties of horizontal projectiles. Remember that there is a tutorial on the Video tab which goes over this information.

Then students learned how to use a Vernier Photogate and are working to recreate the Thelma and Louise demo that I showed in class. The goal is for students to be able to predict where a toy car will land based on knowing the initial horizontal velocity.

A sheet of problems was distributed, Horizontal Projectile Problems, which is due on Friday. Oct. 21.

And we watched this great video showing projectile motion!
