====== Project 2 Learning Goals and Tutor Questions ======

==== Learning Goals ====

> Kinematic Equations - Constant Acceleration

> Gravitational Force Near Earth

> Vector Components

> $$\vec{F}_{net} = m\:\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta\vec{p}}{\Delta t}$$

> Iterative Prediction of Motion

==== Tutor Questions ====

> **Question:**  //What assumptions did you make about the motion of the hovercrafts?//

> **Question:**  //Are the velocities and accelerations you calculated for the hovercraft exact?//

> **Question:**  //At what time do these velocities and acceleration correspond to?//

> **Question:**  //Why do we need to shift the time?//

> **Question:**  //What analytic equation gives the position of the runaway craft?//

> **Question:**  //Are the hovercrafts moving at the same speed? Can you determine at what speed each is moving?//

> **Question:**  //Given the time at which the crafts coincide, how do we find the distance from the base?//

> **Question:**  //Can you draw the $x$ vs. $t$ and $v$ vs. $t$ graphs?//

> **Question:**  //What does the momentum principle tell you about the net force acting on each hovercraft? What evidence are you using to make the claim?//

> **Question:**  //Can you draw a motion map (momentum vector) for each hovercraft and explain how this motion maps relate to the graphs you drew?//

> **Question:**  //Why does each hovercraft fall for the same amount of time?//

> **Question:**  //Where does the formula $v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}+2ad$ come from?//

===Part 2===

> **Question:**  What do you want the next addition of the code to do?

> **Question:**  Can you explain each important line in each while loop to me?

> **Question:**  Can you relate the position and momentum update lines in the code to analytical equations?

> **Question:**  What exactly is the motion map showing?

> **Question:**  Is there any change in the runaway cart's momentum, according to the code?

> **Question:**  Now can you add in the rescue cart?

> **Question:**  What is the difference between the runaway cart and the rescue craft code?

> **Question:**  //Could this job have been done by hand?//

> **Question:**  //What parts of the code don't you understand?//

> **Question:**  //Does the mass matter?//

> **Question:**  //How does the vertical net force change when moving from land to air?//

> **Question:**  //What about the air resistance?  Can you add this in? Assume that it goes like $bv$ to make things easy.//
