Dynamics

Lesson Description
Projectile Motion Blast a Buick out of a cannon! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set the angle, initial speed, and mass. Add air resistance. Make a game out of this simulation by trying to hit a target.
Golf Range! "Hole in one!" are the words that every golfer dreams of hearing. But just getting the ball to land on the green, let alone roll into the hole, is a difficult task. Golfers must hit the ball at just the right velocity and angle so that it will travel the desired distance through the air. And that doesn't even account for the effects of wind and the spin of the ball! In this activity, you will use trial and error to judge the trajectory of a golf ball. Can you score a hole in one?
