Test Thursday, Reflections due Wednesday

Test Thursday!

What's on it?

• Vector Addition
• Vectors & Scalars - know what they are, examples, and how to draw them
• Use the vertical and horizontal component vectors to find a resultant
• Use the resultant and an angle to find the horizontal and vertical components
• Velocity ( Vx, Vy, & V )- horizontal and vertical components
• What is the acceleration of a projectile at any time during flight?
• Describe how the vertical and horizontal velocities change during flight.
• Predict the horizontal and vertical velocity of a projectile at any time during its flight given the initial horizontal and vertical velocities
• Distances (Range-Dx & Height-Dy)
• Use the height and acceleration to predict the time in air.
• Predict the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile given its velocity or vice-versa

How should I study?

• Chapter 3 in the textbook.
• Concepts: concept summary at end of chapter, review questions, think n explains
• Problem Solving: plug n chugs, think n solves, practice problems at the back of the book (pg 665)
• Get a study buddy and quiz each other.
• Video Playlist - The first four videos on this playlist were created by Paul G Hewitt, the author of your textbook, and he explains things well.
