BACKGROUND In order to figure out the perfect shot, you are going to need to know what projectile motion is. So really, what is projectile motion? Projectile motion is the curved path (also known as a parabola) an object follows when thrown near the surface of the Earth. It has an initial velocity, but after that, the only force acting on the object is gravity. In order to figure out the perfect shot, you are going to need to know what projectile motion is. So really, what is projectile motion? Projectile motion is the curved path (also

    This experiment was to use kinetics of projectile motion and free falling bodies to determine the distance a ball will travel after it hits a bounce plate. To determine this we had to use the equations x=(1/2)at2 and v=v0+at and derive an equation that will determine the distance the ball will travel based on the height of the bounce plate and the height of where the ball will be dropped above the bounce plate. The equation made was g*(sqrt(2)/sqrt(g))*(sqrt(H)*sqrt(h)). From here we can make an estimate of how far the ball will travel after it hits the bounce plate.…

    This investigation aims to explore the different paths of shots used in Beer Pong which is a drinking game that involves a ping pong ball and usually 20 cups. This topic is of significance to many teenagers and early adults as it addresses the techniques used in a game played at almost every party. I am very interested in projectile motion as it is part of the topics we cover in HL physics and this also links to a very fun game. It is also one of the topics included in engineering courses which is what I plan to study at university level therefore this gave me the opportunity to improve my knowledge in a future area topic. In HL…

    A parabola can easily be viewed as an elegant arched trajectory naturally formed by any projectile, from an artillery round to a tomato, moving in a gravitational field. Parabolas have been extensively studied since people started throwing stuff at each other, and they shape the outcome of many ballistic sports, such as baseball, golf, football, shot put and more. But they reach their apex in basketball, where field goals and free throws demand precision control of parabolas. So in tribute to the ongoing NCAA Basketball championships, I present to you, “the March Madness Parabola”.…

    The movements of Volleyball are a complex combination of strength, power, agility, and finesse. Each of these components is comprised of intricate, small movements, the summation of which are coordinated acts of striking the volleyball in a desired fashion. Due to the many aspects related to the biomechanics of volleyball, not every strike of the ball is perfect. Many times, mistakes made by athletes are due to the impossibility of executing hundreds of tiny movements perfectly every single time.…

    Projectile and Marble

    You have learned that the motion of any object moving through the air affected only by gravity is an example of projectile motion. Examples of projectile motion include a basketball thrown toward a hoop, a car driven off a cliff by a stunt person, and a marble launched from the CPO marble launcher. Toss a ball some distance and you can imagine in your mind the arc it follows, first rising then falling to the ground. Projectile motion is also called two-dimensional motion because it depends on two components: vertical and horizontal. The range is the horizontal distance that the projectile travels between launch and landing. In this experiment, you will see how the range is related to the launch angle and initial velocity of launch.…

    The two pictures below demonstrate the calculations from Trial 1 at 0° and Trial 1 at 45°. In this experiment we did five separate shots from the cannon at 0°, and 3 separate shots at 45°. We determined the average distance of the shots from each angle by using a meter stick. We were then able to calculate the velocity of the shots by dividing the time from distance. After getting the results, the distance from the shots fired at 45° had a greater distance from the shots fired at 0° horizontally. This is because as the ball which is fired increases, the height increases. As the height increases, the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground increases and the range (distance) is greater.…
