Trajectory - Angle Launched Projectiles
Trajectory - Angle Launched Projectiles is a Concept Builder that takes a numerical approach to the trajectory of a projectile. There are three Activities in this Concept Builder, leaving learners do three different things. First, they do comparisons of the horizontal and vertical speed of a projectile for three different locations along its trajectory. Second, learners must identify the proper vector diagram for a projectile at three locations along its trajectory if given the appearance of the vector diagram at a fourth location. Finally, learners must identify the numerical value of the horizontal and vertical component of a projectile's velocity at 1-second intervals of time. There are multiple questions in each Activity. Student progress through each Activity is denoted using a system of Stars. Question-specific help is provided. The built-in score-keeping makes this Concept Builder a perfect candidate for a classroom activity.
Users are encouraged to open the Concept Builder and begin. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Concept Builder. However, the nine different groups of questions can be printed. View
