MASS AND WEIGHT
- Determine the relative mass of each bird. Why does it matter?
- Does the mass of the bird affect the weight of the bird? How?
SPEED, VELOCITY, ACCELERATION
- What effect does the stretch of the slingshot have on the velocity of the birds (remember what velocity includes? Does the stretch affect the acceleration? What about the force the bird hits with?
- Determine the vertical velocity of the red angry bird. You will need to use Tracker for this. Watch the video on how to use Tracker in the "Resources" section.
- Determine the horizontal velocity of the red angry bird. You will need to use Tracker for this. Watch the video on how to use Tracker in the "Resources" section.
FORCES
- Does gravity exist in "Angry Bird" land? Show & explain how this is demonstrated in the game.
- Is the gravity of AB land the same as Earth's gravity? You will need to use Tracker for this. Watch the video on how to use Tracker in the "Resources" section.
- Does air resistance seem to exist in AB land?
- What does the way the different birds interact with the different materials the "pig fortress" is made of tell you about the density/type of material?
- Explain how each of Newton's laws is shown in Angry Birds. Show two examples of each law in the game with an explanation of how it shows the law.
