4/20

Objective:  SWBAT review kinematic problems for the AP exam.


Warm Up:  From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones.  The stones have identical initial speeds.  However, stone 1 is thrown downward at an angle (theta) that is below the horizontal and stone 2 is thrown at the same angle above the horizontal.  
1)  Draw a sketch of this situation
2) Neglecting air resistance, decide which stone, if any, strikes the water with a greater final velocity.
