B. VECTOR KINEMATICS IN TWO DIMENSIONS

(Motion with Constant Acceleration)
Students will apply the concepts of motion with constant acceleration to various real-life situations.

Students will:

Identify situations involving the use of kinematics

Solve problems involving:

Displacement
Initial velocity
Final velocity
Average velocity
Acceleration
Time

Describe the shape of the path taken by a projectile fired at some angle above the horizon if friction is negligible
Determine from experimental data that the horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion if friction is negligible
Demonstrate that the horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant if friction is ignored
State that a projectile experiences a constant downward acceleration due to gravity if friction is negligible
Resolve a projectile's velocity into horizontal and vertical components
Solve projectile motion problems involving:

Range
Maximum height
Time of flight
Displacement
Velocity
Acceleration
