Module 5 | Advanced mechanics
Content 1: Projectile motion
Lesson 1 | Analysing projectile motion
-
analyse the motion of projectiles by resolving the motion into horizontal and vertical components, making the following assumptions:
– a constant vertical acceleration due to gravity
– zero air resistance
Lesson 2 | Deriving relationships for projectile motion
-
apply the modelling of projectile motion to quantitatively derive the relationships between the following variables:
– initial velocity
– launch angle
– maximum height
– time of flight
– final velocity
– launch height
– horizontal range of the projectile (ACSPH099) -
conduct a practical investigation to collect primary data in order to validate the relationships derived above
Lesson 3 | Applying the equations of motion
-
solve problems, create models and make quantitative predictions by applying the equations of motion relationships for uniformly accelerated and constant rectilinear motion
