time of flight, t = P + Q*sqrt(-1) for example, could have a physical interpretation.For an object being thrown upward inside a well of depth -120m under a gravity downwardpulling of 9.8 m/s/s, the equation 0 = v0*t + 0.5*9.8*t*t -120 would support a physical situation 2018 ASEE Mid-Atlantic Spring Conference, April 6-7, 2018 – University of the District of Columbiawith a modified depth of (-120 + 0.5*9.8*Q*Q) which carries P as the time of flight since thesqrt(-1) terms must cancel out. Kinematics learning requires a minimum memory capacity whencompared to other physics topics. The long term memory of putting the initial numerical valuesin their appropriate terms could be learned by analyzing each math term in a given equation. Theshort

changes in the parabola shape while thehorizontal distance versus time is always linear in shape. The causation of higher v0 for longerflight time can be deduced inductively after doing a few graphs. A deductive calculuspresentation of differentiating v0 with respect to flight time would belong to the academiclearning approach2, which is teaching time efficient for those students very familiar withcalculus. Every student is expected to be familiar with the quadratic equation solution in algebrathat time = P + Q*sqrt(-1) or P – Q*sqrt(-1) when b*b is less than 4*a*c given the a*x*x+ b*x +c = 0 format. The minimum initial velocity to reach ground from a depth of -120 m can bedemonstrated by extrapolation (about 48 m/s) on a graph of Q*Q versus

horizontal domain, and now we are positioned to observe something which isremarkable and wonderful.Take any point, P0 in the x-y plane and consider a point, P circling P0 at a fixed distance, dr, asshown below in figure 5. Watch the motion of the point, Q, in the tilted plane directly above P.Say the motion of P starts when Q is highest. Q will be observed to descend monotonically to aminimum and then rise monotonically back to its starting height.We can now derive the relationship between the height of the point Q and the angle that P makesin the x-y space. Since the gradient of a plane is constant and ⃗⃗⃗⃗ | is constant, equation 2 aboveleads to the conclusion that if the angle, φ, of the direction is chosen to be 0º in the uphilldirection, then

Some of thedata videos can be downloaded from our website when the paper is published15. The project-based applied research in solar physics with cosmic ray monitoring muon/neutron data can alsobe delivered online and NASA has scientists that would answer questions through online Q&Asessions. The Solar Dynamics Observatory has an outreach program for literacy at theelementary school level16. The solar physics related cosmic ray project focuses on theenrichment of high school teachers with continuous new data. Currently Fermi Lab is supportinga 3-week teacher summer
