LUNAR SURFACE INSTRUMENTATION
 
Physics

Key Topic: Vector Addition

On the lunar surface, environmental sensors and instruments will need to be placed within proximity of a lunar outpost. Students will work with vector addition to find an answer to this space exploration problem.

Students will
  • add, subtract, and resolve displacement and velocity vectors to determine components of a vector along two specified, mutually perpendicular axes; and
  • determine the net displacement of a particle or the location of a particle relative to another.
