A-level OCR Mathematics, Mechanics - Projectiles Part 1

This PowerPoint explains the initial calculations involved in the projectiles topic. It explains how to calculate the distance a projectile travels using the pythagorean theorem to calculate horizontal and vertical velocities, and how to calculate distance overall traveled using the SUVAT equations. The presentation includes an example of calculating distance traveled by a projectile with difference in the elevation of its release and impact. This presentation uses humour that students can relate to using the example of a popular internet video as a practical application of the ideas learned.
