Topic: Trajectory of a Cannonball
Thread: Discuss the motion of a cannonball shot at an angle in the sky. Is there an optimal angle that would increase the range of the cannonball shot?
Replies: Select 1 student’s response and discuss his/her solution and confirm or reject the angle discussed as the optimal angle for range.
2. Topic: Newton’s Second Law
Thread: Thread: You encounter force daily. Find 2 examples of these force and discuss how they and their subsequent motion may be described with respect to Newton’s Second Law.
Reply: Reply to at least 1 classmate’s thread and elaborate on or acknowledge how his/her post has helped you understand Newton’s Second Law.
3. Topic: Kinematics
Thread: The laboratory exercise for this chapter addresses kinematic motion. You have experienced these motions in everyday life.
Discuss the differences between speed and velocity.
Does the kinematic motion of an object depend on the object’s mass or other properties of the object? Why or Why Not?
Discuss 1 or 2 examples of kinematic motion that you may have encountered.
Reply: Reply to at least 1 classmate's thread and further discuss his/her insights and elaborate on which aspects of his/her post may have helped you in understanding applications of kinematics better.
