Projectile Motion

Your task is to build a motion diagram for a projectile, starting with the "track" shown. First calculate the x- and y-components of the initial velocity. Then, use the displacement coordinates to add additional tracks until "Go" reappears. Occasionally a head wind may be present, so note both x- and y-components of the acceleration. To simplify the calculations, values are rounded to integers, and the time between successive dots is 1 s. Click ? for specific instructions.
