In this Glog, you will see a remix of the poem "The Night Before Christmas" in a physics point of view. The equations in the ornaments to the side of the poem are equations used when working with objects in projectile motion at an angle above the horizontal. The "Finding Components" equations discuss how the find the x and y components of a velocity if the have the resultant velocity. The second set of equations named "Position Components" discusses how to find the range and height of a projectile if you have the time and the original component velocities. The last set of equations named "Velocity Components" discusses how to find the component velocities of an object at any point in time if you have the original velocities and time.

Content: Projectile Motion- Santa's Knowledge
The fact that Santa knows the acceleration due to gravity of objects on earth (9.8m/s/s, down) is crucial in understanding and being able to use the equations in projectile motion.

Wordle: Feeling like a Mega Physics wordle has to be made
Here is another try at a Wordle that is entitled "Everything Learned in the First Trimester": Physics Skills, Kinematics in one and two dimensions and a thouch of Dynamics (I have make it large so you can see everything. :) )
