In this lesson you will learn how to graphically add two vectors in two dimensions.
You will explore the following essential question in this lesson and the accompanying lab:
In this lesson you will learn to calculate the magnitude and direction of the sum of two vectors, in two dimensions, when given the magnitudes and direction of the two vectors to be added.
You will explore the following essential questions:
How do you mathematically determine the magnitude and direction of the sum of two vectors, such as air velocity and wind velocity, for a flying plane?
How do you calculate the components of the two vectors to be added when given the magnitudes and directions?
In this lesson you will explore how independent vertical and horizontal motions can be analyzed with kinematics equations to predict the two-dimensional position and velocity of a projectile at various times.
You will explore the following essential question:
In this lesson you will learn that in the absence of air resistance, projectile motion of an object can be described as a superposition of two motions—a horizontal motion with constant velocity and a vertical motion with uniform acceleration due to gravity. You will also learn to apply the relevant kinematics equation of motion with constant acceleration or uniform motion to solve projectile problems.
You will explore the following essential question.
How can independent vertical and horizontal motions be analyzed with kinematic equations to predict the two-dimensional position and velocity of a projectile at various times?
The assessment for Module 2 consists of four (4) assignments, as well as a final module report.
Module 2: Lesson 1 Assignment
Module 2: Lesson 2 Assignment
Module 2: Lesson 3 Assignment
Module 2: Lesson 4 Assignment
In Module 2 you will be required to complete a module project that relates how technology has changed sports. Your project can take the form of a speech, letter, report, or multimedia presentation that discusses your findings. You will be asked to complete portions of the project in each lesson.
Your final presentation will be graded according to these guidelines.
Scoring Rubric for Examples
Each of the preliminary parts of the project will be graded on a 2-point scale: 0 points if the part shows little or no effort expended, 1 point for some effort, and 2 points if considerable effort is shown.
