Q4 Module 2
After going through this lesson, you
should be able to: ❖ infer from examples that the angle
of release affects the height and
❖ describe projectile motion range of a projectile; and
qualitatively and quantitatively;
❖ use examples derive from sports
❖ label a diagram illustrating projectile to show how the angle of release
motion by indicating the range, affects the range and height of a
height, trajectory, initial horizontal projectile.

performed experiments on uniformly

same apparatus to study projectile motion.
He placed an inclined plane on a table and
