1-Horizontal projectiles.

2-Oblique projectiles. 

本周在AP物理1课上，学生们正在学习二维运动学。为了获得更清晰的方法，他们采用两种模式进行投射：              

 1-水平投射。              

 2-斜投射 。

How the knowledge of projectile motion can be helpful in war time or in disaster time for dropping the objects from a height from the aircraft. Related calculations were done by students. 投射运动的知识如何帮助在战争时期或灾难时期让飞机从高处投射物资，学生将亲自完成相关计算。
