Hit a bullseye with an engaging presentation about the components of projectile motion. Viewers see how horizontal and vertical motion combine to create the parabolic path of projectile motion. 

Horizontal and vertical speeds change as projectiles move through space. As part of a series on vectors and projectiles, scholars create vector diagrams to compare these speeds at various locations. They they determine the values for...

In this motion learning exercise, students will match 5 physics vocabulary words relating to motion with their definitions. Then, they will review 9 statements of different motion scenarios to determine is the statement is true or false....

Archery is believed to be one of the oldest sports in the world at more than 25,000 years old—meaning it can teach your classes a lot! Scholars learn about the forces interacting in the archery simulation. They control the archer's...

Most water fountains are designed to keep the water inside the fountain, but how are they designed to shoot up and out without the water leaving the fountain? Scholars vary the launch angle, fountain height, launch speed, and...

In this rocket launch worksheet, students solve 3 problems about the Ares 1X rocket and its launch, trajectory, and motion in both the vertical and horizontal direction.

How high is too high for a belly flop? Learners analyze data to model the world record belly flop using a quadratic equation. They create a graph and analyze the key features and apply them to the context of the video.

Scroll down to Lesson 2 for a complete tutorial on projectile motion. Content covered in these tutorials includes an explanation of what a projectile is, what the characteristics of a projectile's trajectory are, horizontal and vertical...

Projectile motion is explained here. Includes a discussion of Newton's Second Law of Motion, the formulas used to make different calculations, real-life examples of projectile motion at work, and sample problems with solutions.

This illustrated tutorial discusses the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's motion; specific attention will be given to the presence/absence of forces, accelerations, and velocity.

Three complete tutorials on vectors and two dimension forces and motion. Lessons include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension checks along the way.

Students must determine the horizontal speed of a projectile based on the distance that it travels and other given information. Students must find the time of flight and put it in milliseconds. Finally, students must find the final...

In the case of projectiles, students use information about the initial velocity and position of a projectile to predict such things as how much time the projectile is in the air and how far the projectile will go. They do this to make...

Students learn how to describe the motion of projectiles numerically; specifically how the numerical values of the x and y components of the velocity and displacement change with time. Includes animations and interactive simulation.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the horizontal distance travelled by a projectile. Students will be able to modify the starting height, initial speed and angle at which the projectile is fired....

An animation showing a projectile that is launched horizontally. Animation shows the horizontal and vertical components and their velocity.

An animation showing a projectile that is launched at an angle. Animation shows the horizontal and vertical components and their velocity.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Watch this animation as an archer shoots at a target on an angle, and its horizontal and vertical paths and its velocity are explained. An interactive follows where you can manipulate the archer's...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students modeling a mock food fight using projectile motion. This lesson is very technology-intensive, and a CBR2 is used to measure the velocity of an object so that it's...
