Drawing a Scale Model of a projectile flight
One way to map out where a projectile goes is to consider where it would go without gravity. Then, we solve for how far an object falls at several given times to see how gravity affects it. We combine the two data pieces to make a map, which we then scale. This is part of an activity from the late 1980s version of Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Physics Concept Building activities.
