Time	Narration
Slide Number 1 Title Slide	Welcome to this tutorial on Projectile motion.
Slide Number 2 Learning Objectives	In this tutorial we will demonstrate, Projectile Motion PhET simulation.
Slide Number 3 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, Learner should be familiar with topics in high school physics.
Slide Number 4 System Requirement	Here I am using, Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 Java version 1.7 Firefox Web Browser version 53.02.2.
Slide Number 5 Learning Goals	Using this simulation we will, Determine how each parameter affects the trajectory of an object Estimate where an object will land, given its initial conditions. Determine how horizontal and vertical motion of a projectile are independent.
Slide Number 6 Learning Goals	Investigate the variables that affect the drag force. Examine the effect of drag force on the velocity and acceleration.
Slide Number 7 Definition of a Projectile	Let us define a projectile. A projectile is any object that is fired, pitched or thrown. The path of the projectile is called its trajectory.
Slide Number 8 Projectile Motion	Projectile motion is a form of motion, in which a projectile is thrown near the Earth's surface.
Slide Number 9 Effect of Gravity on a Projectile	A projectile moves along a curved path under the action of gravity. Gravity is the downward force acting on a projectile. Gravity influences its vertical motion and causes the parabolic trajectory.
Slide Number 10 Examples of Projectile motion	Some examples of projectile motion are, A baseball that has been thrown. A bullet that is fired from a gun or rifle.
