In: A rock is dropped off a cliff and strikes the ground with an impact velocity of 30 m/s. How high was the cliff? 15 m 20 m 30 m 45 m 60 m
Objective: To begin our study of 2 dimensional motion.
Homework check
2 dimensional motion Must be solved using vectors Displacement vectors Velocity vectors Acceleration vectors Force vectors
Combining vectors Only the same type of vector can be combined.
