Episode 4 — Mechanics - Vertical Projectile Motion

Vertical Projectile Motion

Learners will be able to:

• Describe the concept of gravity and its effect on objects in the universe. • Explain how Sir Isaac Newton's laws describe the force of attraction between two objects. • Identify the factors that affect the acceleration of an object due to gravity, including mass and distance from the centre of the planet. • Calculate the gravitational acceleration of an object on Earth, given a specific mass and distance from the centre of the planet. • Apply Newton's laws to predict the motion of projectiles under the influence of gravity.
