Motion in Two Dimensions
Honors Physics - Unit 2
This unit starts with vectors. Before we can work any two-dimension kinematics problems, we must understand the math.
After that, it’s all about PROJECTILES.

Our Schedule
Classwork
2.1 Notes - Vectors and Intro to Projectile Motion
2.2 Notes - Projectile Motion
Homework (Due the next class unless otherwise noted.)
PosPhysics / Unit 3 / Complete Problems 3 (#1-2)
Finish in-class practice (all 9) and email Ms.Hicks a screenshot of your stars!
Make recording for Projectile Video Lab - due Sep 23.
Use your phone to make a video of you (or someone else) tossing a ball in the air - the ball should have displacement in the vertical AND horizontal directions. All of the "action" should be visible in the video. You are welcome to get creative!
Additionally, something of known length should be in the video....a meterstick on the ground works well. The height of the person throwing the ball can also be used if the height is known.
We will be uploading your videos to our analysis software so it is important that the ball is visible. This will work better if you use a bright ball against a dark backdrop or vice versa.
You can work with another person, but each student will be doing the video analysis on their own, so make sure YOU have the video on YOUR computer.
The videos are due on Monday.
