Approaching a Drop Target
Do You….?
A. Drop payload when you are
directly above the target
B. Drop payload before you get to
the target?
C. Drop payload after you’ve
passed the target?
But, but…!

Kinematics and Projectile Motion (page 1-11)
•
Kinematics is the study of the geometry of motion and is used
to relate displacement, velocity, acceleration and time without
reference to the cause of motion.
•
Projectile Motion is in two directions – horizontal and vertical
•
Horizontal motion is independent of vertical motion
Basic typical assumptions
•
Air resistance is negligible
•
Curvature of the Earth is negligible
•
Force of gravity is constant at -9.8 m/s2 or -32 ft/s2
Analysis of Projectile Motion: Distance
•
Horizontal Direction (x) represents the range, or distance the
projectile travels
•
Vertical direction (y) represents the altitude, or height, the
projectile reaches
Calculating Displacement
•
S = vi t + ½ at2
•
Sx = r = vix t + ½ axt2 = vix t
•
Sy = h = viy t + ½ ayt2 = viy t + ½ gt2
h
r
Analysis of Projectile Motion: Velocity
•
Horizontal velocity (Vx) is constant since there is no
acceleration in the horizontal direction
•
Vertical velocity (Vy) is affected by the gravity; the vertical
velocity of a projectile is zero at the height of its trajectory
Analysis of Projectile Motion: Velocity

Mountain Matchup
It’s time for a fight in the heights. Unfortunately, you don’t have the
high ground, but that doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re doing.
The artillery chief has set the cannons at a 76° angle and tells you to
fire with an initial velocity of 56 m/s. How long will it take your
cannonball to reach the castle?
Sy = vy t + ½ a t2
50 m = vy t + ½ (-9.8) t2
50 m = (54.3) t + (-4.9)t2

Bombing Strategies
•
Tactical Bombing
•
•
•
•
Targets: Enemy military forces and other military targets and
enemy strongholds
Goal: Direct and immediate negative influence on the battlefront
Effect: Direct
Strategic Bombing:
•
•
•
Targets: Infrastructure such as industrial plants, port facilities,
and railway bridges, as well as more widespread bombing of an
enemy's cities and other civilian-populated areas
Goal: Eliminate the enemy's capability and will to sustain a war
effort
Effect: Delayed
Right or Might?
•
Spanish Civil War
•
•
World War II
•
•
•
•
•
London Blitz, 1940-1941
Pearl Harbor, 1941

ARE You Convincing?
•
Assertion: Begin with a statement that describes your main
point
•
•
Reasoning: Follow with the “because” part of an argument
where you support the assertion you’ve just made.
•
•
The voting age should be lowered to 16
Because allowing younger people to vote would increase their
involvement in politics and society
Evidence: Support your reasoning with multiple pieces of
evidence from multiple unbiased sources
•
For example, politicians are more likely to listen to what kids
have to say if they have a vote
Debate Ethical Issues
•
Select one of the
conflicts listed to the
right (or another
conflict your table is
familiar with) and
debate the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
London Blitz, 1940-1941
Pearl Harbor, 1941
Allied bombing at Dresden,
1945
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1945
Vietnam
•
•
Guernica, 1937
World War II
•
•
Was the strategic
bombing during this
conflict justified?
