Properties of projectile motion and basic reference frames will be explored through a simple example of two moving cannonballs.

Concepts of kinetic and potential energy will be explored by analyzing the motion of a skateboarder on a curved track.
The questions are based off the following PhET simulation, which can be used to double check answers:

How does a reading on a scale change when on a moving elevator? Scenarios with an elevator moving at different velocities and acceleration will be considered. The concepts learned will then be used to analyze data from a real-life experiment.

What do the velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs look like for a cannon ball launched from a moving cart? This scenario will be analyzed by breaking down both velocity and acceleration into vertical and horizontal components.

Velocity will be separated into vertical and horizontal components in order to analyze the factors that influence the trajectory of a cannonball.
