Goals
-
To understand the motion behind a projectile from a catapult or trebuchet
-
To comprehend the mathematics behind parabolas
-
To apply cosines and sines to aid in finding the initial velocity in both the x- and y-directions
Objectives
-
Students will observe and describe the projectile motion of a catapult shot
-
Students will apply previous height and rate formulas to the catapult problem
-
Students will determine that gravity does not affect the velocity in the x-direction (horizontal direction)
-
Students will describe the graph of a projectile and accurately label its relevant parts
-
Students will determine the angle that will give the maximum distance to a projectile
-
Students will create a formula to predict the landing area of a catapult shot
