2-D Motion Discussion

Q This assignment aligns with the following Unit Objectives: (U23) Apply the principles of projectiles motion to describe a projectile in motion.(CLO2)(CLO3)(CLO5) (U24) Apply the principles of circular motion to explain orbit motion.(CLO2)(CLO3)(CLO5) (U25) Describe qualitatively the effects of air resistance on projectile motion. (CLO2)(CLO3) (U26) Solve projectile and circular motion problems. (CLO2)(CLO5) (UDS) Develop a well thought out and correct response to various discussion questions (CLO2)(CLO3)(CLO5)(Goal 4) Do not start a new thread. Simply reply to my posting. Be sure to comment on at least two of your classmates postings. Your replies must be more than a simple phrase like "I agree" or "I like your answers". Replies should reflect why you agree or like what has been posted. Your replies must reflect a genuine effort to engage your fellow classmates regarding the comments provided or the problem that has been solved. Please post your answers and replies to the discussion questions below 1. What is a projectile? 2. What is the acceleration of a projectile? 3. Give two examples of 2-D motion that you have recently encountered. 4. Supposing a snowmobile is equipped with a flare launcher which is capable of launching a sphere vertically (relative to the snowmobile). If the snowmobile is in motion and launches the flare and maintains a constant horizontal velocity after the launch, then where will the flare land (neglect air resistance)? Explain your choice. o in front of the snowmobile o behind the snowmobile o in the snowmobile 5. Describe how the motion of a projectile will change if air resistance is included. 6. What is the y-component of velocity of a projectile when it reaches its peak? How do you know this? ________________________________________ Need help in using Discussions?

A projectile is something that is thrown into the air with gravity being the only force acting on it. It follows a parabolic trajectory with horizontal and vertical velocities. The acceleration of a projectile is 9.8 m/s^2 vertically and 0 m/s horizontally. Two examples of 2D Motion that I have recently encountered are a basketball being shot in the air and the motions of a boat in the river.
