1. 2 Dimensional Motion Or Projectile Motion

2. Projectile Motion Essential Questions:
What impacts have analyzing projectiles had on society?
What affects the path of a projectile?

3. Projectile Motion
A projectile is an object with horizontal motion upon which the only force acting is gravity.
The horizontal speed is a constant.
The vertical motion follows the rules of free-fall.

4. Projectile motion is made up of two parts (or components):
A horizontal (x) component and a vertical (y) component.

5. All projectiles take a parabolic path.
The path taken by a projectile is called its trajectory.

6. The horizontal distance a projectile travels is called its range.

7. Solving a Projectile Problem
Givens will be arranged in an x-y chart.
