Also Sample problem 6.8 on p 117

Also here are some FRQ from past years that might serve as good practice, though parts of them rely on energy concepts that we haven't learned yet.

They're from

Review for test

Here are some questions from your physics book to think about if you want some more practice   The answers are in the back of the book.

p73-80

7, 15, 21, 29, 35, 43, 59, 63, 71, 77, 83

Remember the lab is also due on Monday the 26th.

Oh, and here is a link to a pretty good test (with answers at the end) written by a different teacher somewhere.

AP Lab Two

AP Lab 2 – Projectile Motion.

Your Task:

In this lab you will be determining the initial velocity of a projectile from its range as a function of its launch angle, and then analyzing the effects of air resistance. Roughly the steps will be as follows.

1. Derive an equation for  R(θ, v)
2. Find  a way to manipulate your axes so that a graph with axes based on θ and R should produce a linear graph, the slope of which will allow you to determine v0.
3. Collect enough good data, that you can determine v0 within a tolerable range.
4. Graph and analyze your data, looking for v0 and a description of the effects of air resistance.

As before copy the questions from the link below to your lab document and answer the questions.
