This week's lessons

We will do Projectile Motion WS problems 1-3, and Simple Forces WS problems 2,3 and 5. Notice that they are posted on the right hand side under Homework Assignments. We will also go over the Projectile Motion Lab on Thursday together.
The following web address gives a thorough analysis of what's going on mathematically with projectile motion: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/vectors/u3l2e.html.
The Hyperphysics site will actually do the math for you!: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html. You will need to click on the following to get to where you need to go: Mechanics, Velocity and Acceleration, Trajectories, Horizontal Launches. You may want to check out the bullet drop problem under Trajectories, as well.
