SPH 4U - Unit 1 - Dynamics
Dynamics is the study of how and why things move. We are concerned with how to measure movement (position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration) as well as why things move (the forces involved).
This year we are interested in 2-dimensional motion as well as movement in straight line.

I have set up a grade 12 class for Gizmos. You need to class code: SEE ME! to sign in.
You can try several Gizmos, especially 'GOLF RANGE'. Make sure to turn on the velocity vectors. Very useful Phet simulations
