Solving Projectile Motion Problems

Today we went through a process for solving projectile motion story problems.

Notes: Projectile Motion Problems

Here is the work for the airplane problem:

Here is the work for another problem in which someone jumps with a speed of 11 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal. We found the time it took to reach max height, the jumper's max height, and the horizontal distance the jumper went before coming back to his/her original height.


Homework is —Ch.3 (p. 80) #25, 27, 29, 30, 48, EXTRA CREDIT: #47. We'll be doing this lab on Tuesday (no school Monday).
