Motion in a Plane and Projectiles

Decomposing two dimensional motion into independent horizontal and vertical components using vectors.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the independence of horizontal and vertical components explain the trajectory of a projectile?
  2. 2What variables affect the maximum range and height of a projectile in a vacuum versus real air?
  3. 3How would an engineer apply vector addition to navigate a vessel across a moving current?
