Y2 Projectiles

In the second year at A-Level you will need to work with Projectiles. 

So be successful at this you will need to be able to confidently use the SUVAT formulae form the first year.

You will learn to:

• Model motion under gravity for an object projected horizontally

• Resolve velocity into horizontal and vertical components

• Interpret the velocity of an object projected at an angle into it's 2 components and use it in the context of a question

• Be able to derive formulae for the flight of a projectile to be able to find the position, time, greatest height and the range of an object.

• To be able to find the equation of the flight of an object in terms

• To model the flight of an object using vectors

Everything

These sets of videos here covers everything. There is some background to look at and some worked examples. There are lot of videos in here, so you can be selective about what you need.
