Mr. Stands on top of the school (19.6 meters tall) and tosses the laptop up in the air at 5 m/s intending to let it pass him by when it falls back down and have it slam into the ground below. At the last second, he has second thoughts and catches the laptop before it can fall down below. What is the velocity of the mac before it hits Mr. Kadin’s hands? :

According to your notes… : 

According to your notes… The horizontal piece of a projectile motion problem is constant velocity problem. The vertical piece of a projectile motion problem is a free-fall problem. Let’s investigate Mr. Kadin’s great fall in both the x and y dimension. Starting with y…

According to the videos we’ve spoken about… : 

According to the videos we’ve spoken about… If I shoot a bullet perfectly horizontally, and drop a bullet from the same height, they will fall in exactly the same way. Thus, we can set up a problem the same way. How long before I hit the ground? 7 m/s 0 m/s 19.6 m

According to your notes… : 

According to your notes… The horizontal piece of a projectile motion problem is constant velocity problem. The vertical piece of a projectile motion problem is a free-fall problem. We know I was in the air for 2 seconds, now we can see how far I traveled horizontally…

According to the videos we’ve spoken about… : 

According to the videos we’ve spoken about… We know that x motion is independent of y motion, so I’ll move in x as if nothing else was pushing or pulling on me. Thus, I’ll be in the air for 2 seconds as we calculated earlier. How far away from the building will I land? 7 m/s 7m/s 19.6 m

Graphic Organizer Since I got a lot of positive feedback about “the boxes” for the previous type of problem, I’ll be doing it again. For this problem, we will have an x-box and a y-box The x problem is a constant velocity problem The y problem is a free-fall problem Let’s see how it would look for the problem we just did…
