Goal 2: The learner will build an understanding of Newtonian mechanics.

Objective 2.01. Analyze and evaluate a particle using kinematics (movement in one, two, and circular dimensions).

  • Motion in one dimension.
  • Relate position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle for motion.
  • Motion in two dimensions.
  • Addition and subtraction of displacement and velocity vectors
  • Visual, graphical, mathematical expressions of the motion of a projectile in a uniform gravitational field.
  • Relate a particles radius, speed, velocity, and acceleration in uniform circular motion.

Rocket launch
In this lesson students will explore design considerations of model rockets. They will consider how model rockets are similar to real rockets (in design and flight), as well as how they are different due to the constraints placed upon them such as size... (Learn more)
