Prep for Tuesday's Exam!

Hello everyone,

A reminder that our first exam will be on Tuesday. 6th period will be multiple choice, no calculator, and 7th period will be the free response section.

Here are the solutions to the class projectile motion problems:
















Substituting into this formula, sin(2*theta) = 0.216, so 2*theta = 12.47 degrees, theta = 6.237 degrees.










Also, here are some projectile motion web toys, good for making up projectile motion problems and seeing the solutions.

And finally, the website for our textbook. This is GREAT for checking your understanding of concepts for each chapter. Select a chapter, and try the Physlets link on the left hand side for some great review questions.

Please email me if you have any questions.
