1. Projectile Motion Conceptual Warm-Up
Give three real-world examples of projectile motion.
In what direction(s) does a projectile change velocity? Explain why the velocity changes.
Which component(s) of projectile motion have acceleration? Explain why this acceleration exists.
Does the acceleration you describe in question #3 ever change in magnitude? Explain your answer.
For which component of motion are v and vo the same? Explain why these velocities are the same.
For which component of motion are v and vo different? Explain why these velocities are different.
Explain how the final overall velocity of a projectile is determined upon its landing on the ground.
Why is a two-column chart needed when setting up a projectile motion problem?
What variables are entered into the two-column chart referenced in question #8? List all of them.
Why may the kinematic equations in the box on page 27 be used to solve projectile motion problems?
