The students were asked to get out their lab notebooks and worksheets as they would debrief their projectile motion lab from Monday and practice their understandings. Specifically, they would discuss how increasing the initial velocity of a projectile affects its path, with a higher initial speed resulting in a greater horizontal distance traveled, known as the projectile's range, before falling due to gravity in the vertical direction.

Projectile motion part 1 wrap up
- 1. Good Morning! Please DO NOW: pick up your lab notebook pick up a copy of PTG 2.4 (a worksheet) sit down and get out a pen or pencil Today we will: “de-brief” the lab from Monday practice our new understandings
- 2. Projectile Motion How does initial velocity affect the path of a projectile?
- 3. Initial Velocity As we learned Monday, initial velocity has no effect on the “hang time” of ANY projectile. That doesn’t mean initial velocity has NO effect on anything, however.
- 4. How does initial velocity affect the path of a projectile? What do you think? Think back to when you varied the speed of the aquarium stone with the launcher. What effect did increasing the speed have?
- 5. How does initial velocity affect the path of a projectile? The greater the initial horizontal speed, the farther the projectile will travel. We call this distance in the x “range” Range: the distance a projectile travels in the x direction What motion would happen in the y?
