Document Content and Description Below

Student Exploration: Feed the Monkey (Projectile Motion) Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary:�... � acceleration, free fall, trajectory, vector, velocity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Eccentric billionaire Veda Hussert has invented a “banana cannon” to help feed the monkeys on her personal wildlife preserve. To feed a monkey high in the trees, simply aim the cannon at the monkey and fire a banana! Unfortunately, the noise of the cannon frightens the monkeys, and they drop out of the tree when they hear the sound. 1. To hit a falling monkey with a banana, where should Veda aim? ( Highlight your choice.) 2. Explain your choice: Gizmo Warm-up The Feed the Monkey Gizmo shows a banana cannon and a monkey. When the cannon fires, the startled monkey drops from the branch. 1. Click Play ( ) to fire the cannon. What happens? 2. You can use the sliders to change the banana velocity (vInitial) and cannon angle (θ). (You can also drag the cannon barrel.) Make adjustments until the monkey catches the banana. What were the velocity and angle that you used? 3. Now try increasing and decreasing the velocity. Assuming the banana is moving fast enough to reach the tree, does the monkey still catch the banana? Describe your findings. Reproduction for educational use only.

Directly at the monkey Due to gravity, the banana and monkey should fall at the same time. Is shot above the monkey and doesn’t hit 20 m/s and 32 degreesQuestion: Where should you aim to hit the monkey with a banana? 1. Experiment: Turn on Show target line. Experiment with the Gizmo, trying several different cannon locations and launch angles. Try aiming above, below, and directly at the monkey. A. What always happens when you aim above the monkey’s head? - - - -- Continued [Show More]
