Click on the link and follow the instructions on your handout.  Be prepared to share what you discover about projectiles and projectile motion.

https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/Newtons-Laws/Force/Force-Interactive   Use the link to complete the Force Interactive

 

Use the link above to check your free-body diagrams.

 

You will complete all three activities in order.

For the 3rd activity, you will draw your dot, velocity vector, and acceleration vector diagrams before you check them. 

     Once checked, if they're correct, put a large check mark next to them.  If they are not correct, put a large X THROUGH them.  You will have to do them again, but the program will bring it back to you to do again.

 

    MAKE SURE YOU RECORD A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE MOTION from the problem as well.  You may just make a bullet point list of the motion descriptors - you don't have to write out the whole thing.

Use the following links to learn about the skill, then practice it with the pages in the packet.
