Projectile Motion

What is projectile motion?

A projectile motion is a form of motion which an object is thrown in the air just like as if it was a basketball game.

What are the three parts of PM?

1. Angle of release - optimal AoR can vary, but in theory is 45 degrees.
2. Height of release - The greater of the height of release, the greater the distances. 
3. Speed of release - The greater the speed, the greater the height and distances. 

Explain the activity this morning related to projectile motion.

What we did to show projectile motion was we planted hula hoops around the class and got rubber bands, and we used paper for an object. So what we did was we flicked the paper with the rubber band and made it go in the air just like projectile motion but with paper and rubber band.
