Chapter 2 & 3 – Motion and Projectile Motion UNIT

 

Objectives

Chapter 2

1. Explain the idea that motion is relative.
2. Define speed and distinguish between instantaneous speed and average speed.
3. Distinguish between speed and velocity, and describe how to tell whether a velocity is changing.
4. Define acceleration and give examples of its units.
5. Describe the motion of an object in free fall.
6. Describe the motion of an object thrown straight up and allowed to fall until it hits the ground.
7. Determine the speed and the distance fallen at any time after an object is dropped from rest, when air resistance is negligible.
8. Explain how graphs can be used to describe relationships among time, distance, and speed.
9. Describe how air resistance affects the motion of falling objects
10. Explain why acceleration is a rate of a rate.

Chapter 3

1. Distinguish between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity, and give examples of each.
2. Draw vector diagrams for velocities. And use the parallelogram method to find the resultant of two vectors that have different directions.
3. Given a vector, resolve it into horizontal and vertical components.
4. For a projectile, describe the changes in the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, when air resistance is negligible.
5. Explain why a projectile moves equal distances horizontally in equal time intervals, when air resistance is negligible.
6. Describe satellites as fast moving projectiles.

State Objectives Addressed in this Unit:

P.1.5	Use appropriate vector and scalar quantities to solve kinematics and dynamics problems in one and two dimensions.
P.1.6	Describe and measure motion in terms of position, time, and the derived quantities of velocity and acceleration.

B Layer – (Choose one – 15 points – Experiment and Report)

1.  How do the motion diagrams of a fast toy car and a slow toy car differ?  (You could choose other objects.)

2.  What factors affect the speed of an object down a ramp?

3. What factors affect the path of a projectile?
4. Activity 53 on page 27.  Describe your methods and show all data and calculations. Select another student and find their hang time as well.

5.  Select another experiment.  Get approval before starting. 

A Layer – (Choose one – 20 points)

1. The study of various motions in nature requires devices for measuring periods of time.  Prepare a presentation on a specific type of clock such as water clocks, sand clocks, pendulum clocks, wind up clocks, atomic clocks, or biological clocks.  Who invented or discovered the clock?  What scale of time does it measure?  What are the principles or phenomena behind each clock?  Can the clock be calibrated? – Research the clock and provide references.
2. Watch a videotape of a football kickoff.  Measure the time of flight and note the starting and ending yard lines.  Calculate the initial horizontal and vertical velocities, the initial velocity, and the maximum height.  Select another sport in which projectile motion is evident (such as golf or soccer.)  Analyze the motion of the projectile and compare the motion of the two objects.  – Be sure to include all data and calculations.  Make a report or display sharing your results.
3. Select another topic.  Get approval before starting.
