Lesson Plan

Period #7 Acceleration of Gravity & Projectiles

Materials : Textbook : Physics - Principles and Problems

Acceleration Quiz

Review : Mark questions 25, 27-29, page 77, 79, Practice Problems in Textbook

Objectives : students should be able to :

    1. Define the Acceleration due to gravity
    2. solve problems for objects falling from rest
    3. solve problems for objects falling with an initial vertical velocity

2.13. solve real-life or word problems including those involving non-zero initial velocities, falling objects, and projectiles with initial vertical or horizontal velocities

 

Part I - Projectiles - Introduction and Notes :

Give notes starting "PROJECTILE MOTION" on page 2-40 - 2-41. Relate projectile motion to free falling objects, stressing the independency of horizontal and vertical components of velocity.

Use overhead of graph on page 2-42 to 2-44 to demonstrate the path taken by projectiles, and the horizontal and vertical components of velocity.

Do Example on page 2-45, 2-46
