Now we're working in 2 dimensions.
There are two main types of problems encountered:
- 'Crosswinds' or 'cross river' type problems
- Projectile motion problems
Labs
- Projectile Motion lab. Instructions will be given in lab.
- We will finish part II of Galileo's Inclined Plane lab. Instructions and handouts are in the previous unit.

Projectile Motion lab (Ballistics lab)
We will fire a projectile at different angles, measuring the flight time, distance, and vertical drop.
From these, we can estimate the acceleration of gravity, 'g'.
I will explain and give instructions in lab. You should be able to complete the lab writeup in class.
