Mission VP10 Displacement and Time for a Projectile
Mission VP10 includes questions that target student understanding of how the vertical and horizontal displacement of a projectile vary with time. The mission consists of 36 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
Learning Outcomes
- The student should be able to identify and describe the variables that effect the time of flight of a projectile.
- The student should be able to identify and describe the variables that effect the horizontal and vertical displacement of a projectile.
