How does angle affect the height and range of a projectile? Projectile Launched at an Angle Do Now A pool ball leaves a 1-meter high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4 m/s. Calculate how long will the pool ball stay in the air. How far will the ball land from the table? Observe-Infer-Write Turn n Talk How many things do you think you need to get right? Justify your answer.  Acceleration due to gravity g = -9.81 m/s2 is always pointed downward Directions matter in these types of problem Use positive and negative numbers to Throwing Objects indicate direction Upward  Projectiles Launched at an Angle Requires analyzing a combination of upward free fall and horizontal projectile. How high it will go and how Projectiles far it will travel depends on the angle it was launched and Launched at an the launch velocity. Angle Observe how a Projectile Travels  Turn n Talk Discuss with your partner how the horizontal motion changes vs how the vertical motion changes for this football throw. Be ready to share out with the class.  Take a Laptop, Open the assignment today. This will be a simulation assignment on CK-12 Instructions for this assignment is attached. You can work in pairs. Each student has to fill out the three questions on the attached google doc and submit it. Think-Write-Pair-Share Given the same initial speed, at what angle should you launch the projectile to get the ball highest? Why? What about if you want to launch it the farthest? Why?
