Educator Resources for Projectile Motion
In Projectile Motion, students shoot everyday items out of a cannon to explore the factors that govern projectile motion. Students can experiment with angle, initial speed, height, air resistance, mass, diameter, and gravity. Vectors help students visualize and reason about the projectile's velocity, acceleration, and the forces acting on it.
