This can be applied to many situations - Explore the mathematical principles and create your own unique investigation.
Introduction
Forces can be ‘resolved’ into the vertical and horizontal components. What does this look like for a cyclist on a hill? What are the implications for angle of release in sports, E.g. basketball, shot put, or even diving
Guiding Questions
- Model this on GeoGebra, or find the optimal release angle for a shot put throw
