infoWhy this? Projectile motion combines horizontal and vertical motion to predict paths under gravity and examine the consequences of modelling assumptions. The normal distribution provides a continuous model for variation, enabling probability calculations, standardised comparisons, and statistical inference about population means.

scheduleWhy now? Earlier constant-acceleration work, trigonometry, and vector components can now be combined to analyse two-dimensional trajectories. The normal distribution extends Year 12 discrete distribution models and draws on established probability and hypothesis-testing methods, bringing these ideas together in continuous statistical modelling.
