Precision and Kinematics · Mechanics & Motion

Kinematics in Two Dimensions

Analyzing the motion of objects through space using independent horizontal and vertical components.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the independence of vertical and horizontal motion explain projectile trajectories?
  2. 2What variables affect the optimal launch angle for maximum range in a fluid medium?
  3. 3How would an engineer apply kinematic equations to predict the landing zone of a recovery capsule?
