Projectile Motion Simulations

We began the period discussing what a projectile is and how to determine if something is a projectile.  Then we looked at the simulations below, determining what factors determine how far a projectile will travel in the horizontal direction.

We also looked at the Snowboarder picture and determined that the motion of a projectile in the horizontal direction can be described as constant velocity and the motion in the vertical direction is non-constant velocity.  Lastly, we learned how to make calculations for projectiles, like a person jumping off of a roof into a swimming pool.
